A TIME OF PERVERTS - BURN-OUT, THE EPIDEMIC OF THE CENTURY

Burn-out has become a major concern in France, affecting hundreds of thousands of employees (300,000 to 500,000). This is all the more worrying as it seems to be spreading like an epidemic.
According to the author, this situation is the symptom of a sick society, obsessed with profitability and which, to achieve its ends, promotes unaffected, manipulative and perverse leaders. It's a time of perverts.
With the force of analysis and vivid style that made his previous book "Le clan des seigneurs" such a success, Paul-Antoine Martin describes with powerful realism the terrible collapse that is burn-out, its causes and its impact on life. The author has experienced management and harassment methods that fracture a man to the point of destruction. He warns against the totalitarian drifts that are spreading through companies. 
He also shows how, with the love of his wife, he gradually got back on his feet, free and stronger, despite the suffering, the after-effects and the relentlessness of his former employer. His testimony is a tremendous message of hope and dignity for the countless victims of burn-out.

Paul-Antoine Martin had his employer condemned by the Prud'hommes and the Tribunal Judiciaire.

Paul-Antoine Martin is 57 years old. Trained as an engineer (CentraleSupélec), he has always worked in an industrial environment, and has led a career rich in experience, from Anglo-Saxon multinationals to French public institutions. He has held senior executive positions, rubbing shoulders with captains of industry, politicians and senior civil servants.
