My stint as June was short lived. The advertising agency that Michael was going to was a sham. They wanted someone "committed to the process" (that would work 12 hours a day for what averaged to less than 10 dollars an hour) and that wasn't "soft after not working at an agency for so long" (wouldn't say something about the 12 hour days without breaks) After all they supplied "lunches" (cans of spaghettios and soup or frozen dinners) And they were allotted two "breaks" (flex times is the legal jargon for it, which no one moved or did anything different... and no one used their 'flex time'... could it be because it was discouraged?) And they don't understand why they can't find the 'right person' (that would be okay with all of the above) They don't understand why no one wants to stay longer than a couple days, after all, if they just make it past the first week so they can have "benefits" (stock options, no health no dental, no visual.)
Corporate America is sick. I am going back to work. If they take me back. If not, I may try to get something local here so that I don't have to drive. One day, I swear to God. Corporate America Ideals will fall. We should have a union. The "ordinary peoples" union.
What would happen if everyone... EVERYONE went on strike for one day against the BS that is happening in our country.
BS that we don't have healthcare
BS that we don't have a covered college education
BS that we don't get a raise to match the oil
BS that we are tied to oil when the technology exists to do better.
BS that we don't care about the planet.
Is anyone else pissed off?
