Cooperate America
That is "Cooperate America" for you. They are the biggest scumbags, and have the least decency, when it comes down to stuff of this nature. Always,..."Always"... they pass the buck to the other guy, and he passes it to another one,...so on, ect... This is common, especially when terminations come into play in a cooperate atmosphere. It is a fucking disgrace.You may find out you are being fired (for whatever BS reason) after 30 or more people know about it, since nobody wants to tell you, and pass it off to the other guy down the cooperate ladder.
My advice bro....
Act like everyday there is your best day. Smiles, happy, an all that BS.
Be nice, but tell nobody about your personal life. The least personal/friendly the better. If put into an awkward position,...lie. It's fun, plus whatever they think they know about you is bullshit anyway. Whadda' they going to do,....fire you cause' your personal life did not pan out from what you told whomever? (laughs) This way nobody can use anything against you. I would stay silent, or just lie about my personal life.
Lie about anything you think you can get away with. Be smart about it though.(be sure you can prove, and/or have a witness if needed in some situations if comes to that)
Always,..."Always" be out to further your own agenda. Fuck the company. Tell them whatever they want to hear to get the job, then if they fall into this catagory of cooperate shitbags,... fuck them, you owe them no loyalty. They will drop you like yesterday's news. Do yourself a favor, and do whatever you can get away with to make your job easier, and least amount of hastle. If you find a better opportunity,...go for it. Fuck em'.
It's sad, that things have gotten this bad in the workplace/regressed. I consider myself a trustworthy, nice guy, but you would not think of it reading my post above. I did have to learn the hard way, about most cooperate settings. A very few this does not apply to. If you are one of the lucky few, that is rare. Going back like 40 years or so, people had pride in their jobs, they respected, and had some built up trust for their employers. Not now. Now, the bottom line is dollars for the Company, and that is fine. But it has shown that this type of mentality nowadays, that is prominent, has it, that they will do "whatever" means neccessary to further the company, and would/can/do screw their employees at will. All this, to make the employee feel that they can be replaced anytime, should consider themselves lucky to have a job, and scared shitlless of saying anything, for fear of being terminated. Along with this....a few gems like Enron & Worldcom come to mind. Those scumbags basically screwed thousands over, and we all know they got away with it. Times are changing,....we have to change with them,...even if they are not changing for the better. Look out for yourself. It would be nice though,...one day if the workplace reverted back to the days when people and their employers could work with a mutual respect for eachother, and all this shit was behind us. (lol) Maybe in the Matrix....
(laughs) In case you sensed any hostility... I worked for Merck for a long time,.... and I know how these jerkoffs operate.
Good Luck.
I dispise Cooperate America.
