Why, for the love of Eris, does anyone get a job in corporate America and expect anything more than the lowest wages they can get by with and the least useful management they can survive with?

There are corporations that are different, but those should be refreshing surprises. If you interview at WalMart or Starbucks or any other Major Retail Corporation... EXPECT THEM TO TRY TO FUCK YOU.

If you don't expect them to treat you like shit, you haven't been paying attention for the last 15 years.

If you can't unionize, form a Discordian Cabal.  That's what we did at the Brookstone shop where I formerly worked.  If you can't get more monies, at least get more lulz.

Truthfully, I think most people DO expect Corporate Amurrica to fuck them in the ear.  But that doesn't mean they should enjoy it.  *shrug*  And sad to say that most see the unions as must another way to get fucked.  Paying out dues and not getting bupkiss for them.

I'm not sure that each orifice gets it's own "virginity".


Just saying.

That would be a good name for a porn-spoof on The Office.

Or maybe not.

I was drinking the kool aid, not gonna lie. I had heard from friends who worked for the company that it was pretty good (and it can be, if you've got an awesome SM, which I do not). Had I applied at Mal Mart, I would have expected this. I applied at Starbucks and my friend's mom hired me. She said it was awesome, so I trusted her (don't ask me why). Watching her get fired (I really did see her get fired--the DM did it at the store) should have been a wake up call. :P

I had Starbucks this morning.  Does this mean I fail.   :cry:
Yes.
