It is balding white men in their 50's and 60's who control corporations in this country. They run the show and will dictate what we can wear or not wear to work. They are looking for men just like themselves to become the new leaders and perpetuate the system. There is no room for individuality in corporate America. You as an individual have no power. You must play the game and conform or risk being terminated. Of course, it will be labeled "a rightsizing" or result of merging jobs and never what it is - - illegal discrimination because they don't like your race, religion, sex, mode of dress, etc. Anyone who is different will be crushed. So you better learn to "kiss up" and "kiss up good." |

I know this sounds funny, but it's true. We have to have permission to do anything and we really aren't challenged to use our potential and to think for ourselves. Instead, we are treated like children. If we were treated more like adults and were given more choices, perhaps we wouldn't act the way we do...wait a minute. Did I say that? It's always how we act. We even have to be held accountable for the managers' actions. Is that fair? Is life fair? But do we want to go on like this??? The answer is no...We might no longer need Employee Assistance counseling if we have the freedom within reason to have flexible schedules and reasonable workloads and the choice to make our own decisions. Then, worker turnover and absences would go down. This is worse than being a child.......this corporate environment that we put up with day after day.
