Being in the employ of one of the largest corporations in
the world, I can say that I've seen a lot of bullshit. 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.
