Agreed. The standard corporate rat race has been a bad deal for many people. Life in a cubicle is not fun. There are better ways to make a living, and you may have to work hard, and work long hours, especially if you decide to work for yourself. But if your path is just to be a cog in a giant corporate wheelhouse, killing yourself trying to make the boss happy turns out to be a pretty thankless task.

Many of us are doing that. Then we die. Afterwards they recruit a replacement.

Lame.

I'd have to say that I generally agree with this. I'd say that my biggest bitch is the corporations just really don't give a damn at all about their workers. Frankly, I think that for most companies, if they could figure out a way to get rid of those darn workers (especially American ones), they'd be all for it. Of course, at the same time they want those same Americans to pay top dollar for their products, though I am a bit unclear on exactly how they expect those folks to pay for stuff, since the corps would prefer literally anyone else on the planet as an employee.
