Most Americans spend their days at work. Working long hours, some from sunrise till dusk. Those who spend that much time barely have time to enjoy it with their families and their loved ones. The main question is for what? Why do people get up every morning same routine everyday; what is the purpose of all of this? And the answer is the American Dream. The “American Dream” is a concept that has been in people’s minds since the start of the country when the colonies first arrived from Europe to escape religious and political persecution. The concept behind this dream is kind of simple if you work really hard, then you will be able to accomplish your goals. However, just like every journey there are struggles and those struggles can often affect people in major ways. In trying to reach that American dream ideology, people’s emotional stability tends to decline, affecting them in more than one aspect of their daily lives. Few have been able to achieve it. Some have achieved it with hard work and ingenuity, while others have achieved it with pure luck. After all that has to be put in to achieve this American Dream idea/concept people have started to wonder is this American concept really worth it.

Existential angst has at least slightly or significantly affected everyone around us including ourselves, especially those at work and at school. Being employed or being a college student means having the obligation to be somewhere and do some type of work whether you want to be there or not, whether you actually have the time or not. Most of us are awake in the early mornings and are up late making it difficult to get the suggested eight hours of sleep in order to keep our sanity and maintain healthy lives. The cause of losing sleep is everything that goes on throughout our day. During work or school hours, it is not uncommon to be stressed at the amount of work to be done, constantly be told what to do, stand corrected, or have feelings of frustration. Situations like these can lead to feelings of emotional instability and even existential angst. There is always a cause to the effects of work and school, and most are emotional. Relationships, work, money and our health affect our emotions the most (Feiles).

Work can be extremely stressful. The simple act of getting the job is a long and arduous process, then once a person has found work they must negotiate the waters of superiors and co-workers in order not to step on anyone’s toes or get on their bad side. If that wasn’t enough there is also sexism, racial issues, and unequal pay. All these issues place an already inordinate amount of stress on any individual, however when adding bullying at the workplace to the mix it brings a sense of distrust among co-workers and fear amongst those who are bullied. Unfortunately, bullying may exist in the workplace, but that doesn’t undercut the fact that bullying itself creates an environment where victims fear going to work, have lower self-esteem, and can ultimately ruin their reputation with the company they work for as well as any other contacts that that person may have.

In this essay I will be discussing the relationship that bosses should have with their employees and the relationship that bosses actually have with their bosses. I will get into detail the way in which bosses should be addressing issues employees may have and how in reality bosses actually address issues. Everything in this essay revolves around emotional instability in the workplace and how it is caused. Also the side effects of emotional instability has on employees. There will also be a part talking about how employees view their bosses. The information will also show how important employees are and how bad decisions from the boss can destroy lives. Lastly I will conclude with how important it is for the boss to make the right decisions. In the long run once you lose your employees you then lose your business. Employees are the body of any business and they play a very important role.
