Hummmm.....work ethics are an admirable quality
But...Gettin The Shaft By A Big Wig....
It Is A True Reality, and sometimes they give a nice watch (ahh-hem)
Now I hear That Song....Take This Job & Shove It....
Peace, Love & Poetry

When your usefulness runs out,
you get kicked upstairs
I think most of my bosses came out of your assembly line.

Hi Lance,
Sadly this is so true. "When your usefulness runs out...you get kicked...to get your 0% increase." Increased workload but no increase pay, and no more "loyalty" checks awarded. The best one can get at Christmas is a company calendar. Wow.

Lance,
I've seen many lose their jobs as of late, many factories closing down in my area. It sad. People who have worked hard for 25 to 30 yrs. are now unemployed. Many are depressed, not knowing how they'll pay the rent or buy groceries for the family. Lord help us all!
Blessings and huggs,
~Linda |

Lance,
Sharp, poignant and shooting straight; again, for me, the use of language is highly significant, that fluency you engender, clipped and pointed as done fingernails but without the gloss. This is painful, real and true. Bravo!

| Oh man! ain't it true. And kissing the bosses _____ seems to be a knee-jerk reaction these days, or perhaps it has always been so. I like your picture, very appropriate as reminds me of the Borg, and becoming part of the collective, and of having no choice in the matter. I wonder what would happen if every worker in America went on strike for a week. If we caused the "machinery" to halt, would we then see who has the power? I think maybe. I think it is worth a concerted effort. Blessings, J'nia |
