Career entrenchment: A quiet march toward occupational death?

Abstract

Executive Overview Willy Loman, the desperate protagonist of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, knew what it was like to be entrenched in a career. Miller wrote his play in 1949, but Loman's grim and futile situation is all too familiar to some contemporary workers. What happens when workers are entrapped and disillusioned? Willy Loman sought to free himself through suicide. Fortunately, other options are available and are chosen daily by entrenched careerists and their managers.
