It is so lame.
They have all of these seminars and other bullshit trying to get people to "think outside the box" when all these seminars DO is program you to think within it.
Why is Dilbert so popular among the cube crowd? Because it's true. Everyone can identify with the sheer stupidity of Dilbert's office.
And what gets me is people carry this mentality over to their personal lives. Ick! No! That would sucketh mightily!
These corporations foster this mentality of "more, more, more" and aggression. They want everyone to claw and scrabble for a few choice promotions and encourage the worst sort of behavior.
It's like a company can't deal with the fact that Admin Assistant X LIKES being an admin and DOES NOT want to get promoted to management. If that is the case (so the corporate mentality goes), then there must be something WRONG with X! How can X not WANT to be promoted to management? How can X acutually LIKE being an Admin Assistant? This simply will not do!
So now, since they (in their "infinite" wisdom) have decided that EVERONE must WANT to get promoted, they've added the extra "incentive" of "get promoted in 2 years or get canned". Yeah. Like THAT is going to inspire people.
WTF? Did the thought EVER occur to some of you fucktards that letting someone do a job they LIKE and are GOOD at is actually GOOD for the company? Did that thought ever enter into your pea brain? People who are HAPPY are also PRODUCTIVE!! It's not rocket science.
Stop trying to FORCE people to have the same blind ambition that YOU do. Not all of us think of our JOBS as our LIFE. Yeah, I know that is hard for some of you to grasp (seeing as how you don't have a life ANYWAY.)
Believe me, if I could get a job skating, drumming and dancing I would do so in a heartbeat. But that won't pay the bills.
I guess you don't actually WANT people to be content or happy in their jobs. You just want everyone scratching and backbiting for a few crumbs. I got news - those few crumbs aren't worth my effort! Yeah! They aren't. Deal with it.
I am NEVER going to value the corporate mentality and conformity over my freedom. There, I said it.
You can either live with that fact or not. If you choose not to, then all of this crap you've been spewing about "think outside of the box" and "diversity" is just a steaming pile of dung. As we have always suspected.
What the corporation values more than anything else is conformity. They want you to play by their rules. You aren't actually supposed to THINK and say "this is fucked up". You're supposed to "play along". If you don't "play along" then you're not a "team player".
Please. All these places do is pit people AGAINST each other. They get some sick satisfaction about watching their employees fight tooth and nail over a meaningless "promotion". This "promotion" is only important because THEY SAY it is. Therefore, everyone should want it.
If you have the (stupidity/guts/testicular fortitude) to say "no, thanks!" Then you're deemed a "trouble maker". Why? Because you don't think it's RIGHT to lie and backstab to make yourself look good?
Everything - every corporate "buzzword" is 180degrees opposite of what the corporation encourages.
"Team player" means - get a team to do your work then take the credit for it. (You're not supposed to give credit where credit is due).
"Works well with others" means a smarmy little creep who's crap hasn't caught up with them yet.
You get the idea. It's just so disgusting. And the thing that torques me off the most is the fact that "they" keep saying how they want your job to be "enjoyable" and for you to LIKE coming to work. Riiiiiight.
