Abstract
This article explores the problematic nature of work-life for people with ''invisible" chronic illness, especially given the recent rise of managerialism in modern organizations. Recent Heideggenian, phenomenological, exploratory research has uncovered work-life narratives from people who are "sick" (but who "appear'' well) and who are trying to survive in organizations that are "sick", demonstratingunreasonable expectations, unsupportive cultures-"rabid" managerialism. The argument commences with some comment about the perilous uncertainty characterizing life and work with "Invisible" chronic illness (ICI) which is briefly defined as an ongoing illness that cannot be seen" by others in the work-place. Illnesses such as HIV, cancer, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis constitute examples.
