i has another sad
Jun. 2nd, 2011 11:47 pmI am finding the training to be very easy this time, and the guy to be very nice if a little sad. He's a lot older than I am, and he basically worked for the same guy for 27 years, through many companies. They laid him off, and for his 27 years of service? Got two weeks of severance. Two weeks.
The vileness of corporate America STILL surprises me. For all my faux-cynicism, I am seriously a pollyanna sunshine dewey optimist. People do the right thing because it's right, right? Yeah, not so much. I am now carrying around the burden of this guy's mistreatment. And he wasn't even complaining, really. I mean, he was, but it was in natural conversation. It wasn't like it was this huge burden he was blurting out. Fucking awful.
I need to find a job where I work for myself, where I can limit my exposure to the evil.
So for now, I drown myself in fiction. ( booklist, updated )
