Abstract

In my office, I had for quite some time the following poster ad glued to the wall: The 6 stages of dealing with an overwhelming work load. Denial: Work load. What work load? Avoidance: I think I have some vacation coming up. Desperate reasoning: If work = mass x force, then if I decrease my mass… Panic: I can’t do it! I’m going to be fired! Acceptance: O.K. Logic: I’ll call Olsten. The easiest way to deal with an overwhelming work load is simply to call Olsten. Olsten provides business and government with innovative and effective staffing solutions. We offer experienced personnel in the full range of skills, from clerical, assembly and office automation personnel to senior-level professionals and more. Whatever you need, Olsten will match the job with the perfect person. So next time, do the logical thing. Call your Olsten office or 1–800-WORK NOW (capitals in original).
