I just don't understand life, I suppose.
The harder you try to get ahead, the more effort you put into tyring to make something of yourself, the more life just seems to flip you off while taking a rather large crap on your head!
It seems to me that today's business environment is reverting back to the days of the industrial revolution where only the rich could afford to advance in society. All us "blue collar" type were relegated to following orders for minimum pay, just enough to survive and serve the company.
If you didn't perform as the company's goon robot managers specified, whether it is due to overload, lack of competent direction, or extreme ass-kissing by co-workers with an peculiarly discolored nose, you are released from employment. They call it a lay off now. Call it what it is - age discrimination.
There is no longer any dedication to the most important aspect of a business - the employee. We have become, once again, a commodity item; a disposable tool; a consumable supply of inexhaustible quantity. We suffer the indignities of insufficient paychecks, we endure the caterwauling of insolent owners and the browbeating of incompetent managers, we bear the consequences of the foul ups and blunders caused by nonchalant mismanagement, we allow ourselves to be raped and gouged by the oil barons running this country, and we carry the burden of corrupt and illegal taxation inflicted upon us by our very own government.
And no one says a damn thing.
