I had to work 60-80 hour weeks for almost a year when I first got a salaried position. I recently watched 5000 layoffs go down. It sucks. I've also seen things get better for me over time. That's how it works *sometimes* in the corporate world. However, I can't entirely hate my job or my employer. They've given me the opportunity to grow within the company and learn a lot of new skills. Additionally, I think you really need to have long-term first-hand experience of the corporate world if you want to know what makes this country tick. Big money runs America. When you watch the gears turning internally, you see exactly how it goes down in the U.S. government. I'm able to stomach my work here because I've been very lucky to land a consumer advocacy position within the company. I probably would've left by now if my job duties didn't specifically entail that I'm looking out for the little guy. Even though there are horror stories like John's, you need to keep in mind that big corporations don't act "as one" any more than any other large group. There are good efforts and bad efforts, good bosses and bad bosses, and generally the head doesn't know what the tail is doing. My entire job is to try and keep things in check. If that doesn't explain how messy the corporate world is, then I don't know what does. I guess my point is that hating corporations is as meaningless as hating goverment. The object of your disdain is simply to broad. I'm probably in agreement with most of you that are speaking up, but I think that broad statements like "corprorate America sucks" are nothing more than a rallying cry. Let's recall that some of the worst moments in human history have been initiated through meaningless rhetoric. Tristan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
