Would you accept a $100K+ job posting corpora-power-crats positions?
Would you take a job convincing others they should accept the corpora-power-crats' reality FOR THEM?

Would you do that?

3. Wow. Push polling at DU.
You have clearly indicated what the "correct" answer is, so this "poll" is simply to smear the subject and get the polling answer you desire.

Therefore, stuff it in an orifice.

4. Change comes from the inside.
So, yes, the most they could do is fire you for not being a team player.

8. Wuhhh?
What is a job "posting corpora-power-crats positions"? What come to think of it is a corpora power crat? Are you asking about a job doing executive recruiting or working for Monster or something? Only way they pay $100K or close to it is if you are damn good at placing people who meet your clients' needs (perhaps instead you would prefer companies hire people who lead them poorly?). But even so I'm not sure how that means "convincing others they should accept the corpora-power-crats' reality for THEM"? This one implies some sort of lobbyist position in which case 100K is pretty junior and paltry level income.

9. I worked in electronics and $100K would be more than I ever earned
in a year. It has been 5 years since I had any kind of paycheck, so the idea might be tempting for many in my position. I have to say I wouldn't consider it for a second. After spending the last 15 years of my working career trying to keep the company I worked for from committing suicide, I can't feel comfortable working for a company that doesn't support their employees or requires me to do something that I consider unethical. I'm lucky, I've got no one depending on me to make enough money to keep them alive. I feel for anyone in that situation, and hope they can find some way around the problem.


Whatever choice you might make to deal with the situation, you should know that no choice is simple. A nice income is great as long as you don't have to sell your soul or break your spirit to keep it. I made the mistake of burying myself in my job and making a living at the expense of so much more. I'd trade every dollar to get back what I lost.

10. The important thing to remember is that these positions are responsive to what the American People
have told us they want. This is a campaign about the American People, FOR the American People.










...so when do I get my check?
