2024: "you're family!! we care about our employees!!"
2025: "yea, you're pretty much slaves, gonna do something about it? get back to work."
One of those was a lie all along.
Its corpospeak, gotta read into it.
'We're family!' makes sense when you think of the person saying it as a family member who is an abusive narcissistic sociopath who's never wrong about anything and nothing is ever their fault.
Yeah it always made perfect sense to me. Though my one corpojob did end with some spectacle. Real family would have figured out the antidote.
Man, I fuckin wish I could get compensation for that...
You absolutely can. Lets bring this fuckfest down.
All you need is a rock.
I've decided not to try to live up to "my potential", it was depressing and unrewarding when I tried.
Same here. I spent my entire childhood being told by family and teachers how I could really make a difference as a reseacher or a philosopher or a doctor or whatever else. I hate engaging with "book knowledge". Nobody ever bothered to factor that in ๐ All I really want is to create things with my hands. My mind is a nice asset when it comes to trivia or logical puzzles but I'm just not wired for academia.
Also, nobody respects anything less than an expert
But everybody respects a good solid table.
Which it turns out is actually really fucking hard to make.
Fortunately, I was never told that.
My only remaining ambition after age 40 was to be a worthwile human being at the very least (because that bar is very low) and I can't even do that.
Some people are born broken, not necessarily through any fault of their own. But maybe I don't even clear that barrier and am simply useless to anyone. Oh well.
Better than being a useful idiot for some evil fuck, even if true.
Which i doubt it is.
Plenty of people 'living up to their potential' shooting unarmed kids, signing death warrants for the unhoused, etc
They didn't tell me how much energy it takes to put your mind to things. I can barely stay awake for a normal day length without putting in the effort.
