Okay I am ranting here. Redundancies, Downsizing, "The company is in turmoil shifting markets, you know the drill. We can't reduce your salaries, because that would mean that we'd have to reduce our own salaries as well as all our old fart cronie mates (some of which earn 350K), but what we can do is line you all up and randomly sack people, not all at once, but slowly, so we can get blood out of stone whilst you all live in fear and depression".

I f*cking hate this, I've recieved a redundancy before, and frankly people it sucked it really does, only because it took forever to find another job (because of the market, you know).

But now some one (my ex-) is being hinted by her employees that she's going, she walks to work everyday in fear, F*CK F*CK F*CK EM!!!

I now do appreciate the role of unions.

Okay rant over.

Was reading an article saying how the banks are fighting against employee payments if a company goes under, saying that it would stop them from giving out corporate loans, the thing is if they did that then wouldn't they earn less? Couldn't you just walk across the road to another bank, free market?

nice thing about what i do is there's no security in it. except that not a lot of guys want to do my job besides my mexican brothers down here. and since there is no security except day to day.....there's no pretending there IS any security. kinda like a caveman. food...eat. no food...no eat.

it's just the way society is structured. no sane white, college-educated person would do what i do.....and think they're gonna be secure in life.
we're all part of the big, huge, cold, grey, and often-quite-ugly structure which is western corporate imperialism.

i guess i'm kinda lucky to have made my way
somewhat sidestepping it. then again....i work my ass off physically so it ain't like i work in a bank. there's always the trade-off.

"looking to escape into something completely different, fed up with the corporate bollocks"

lost my job a few months ago but with the separation pay built myself a tidy little studio. now its keeping me afloat somewhat.

now im saying good bye to the city and moving to a provincial city near the sea. i just courier my work over to manila. also have some other opportunities there...

sorry my point is i may have found a way to live off the system on my own terms, comfortably, with much less stress...just take from them what i need. their movies, their fashion, their cars, cellphones...

the system, make it work for you
