okay, gotcha.

So no raises? That's so completely wrong.

Hi, I'm Mr. Corporate America. I like to screw my workers over by asking them to work long hours for no pay and give them little paper awards for their 'dedication'. I call it taking one for the team. All the while I'm protecting my ASSets so that shareholders don't get jumpy because my numbers aren't increasing. I'm also keeping my executives happy by protecting their pensions at all costs, even if I have to ask 99% of my labor force to take
another for the team and cut their pay. I work for:

a.) enron
b.) american airlines
c.) hewlitt packard
d.) starbucks

oooof. I hate it.

(insert CEO's name) thinks that fully grown adults are happy with gold stars and pats on the back, rather than MONEY like he gets with his bonus of 1.5 million.
My department won the "keeping the dream alive" award. we each got a keychain. fuck off .....
by the way the "dream" we were keeping alive was for (insert CEO's name) to be a billionaire....





So if any heads in Corporate America really want to know what their employees think of them, look no further.
