65. I've always worked for big corporations
Edited on Sun Mar-09-08 08:24 PM by Neecy
And I don't expect them to care if I live or die. I don't expect anything from them except for a paycheck that allows me to to have a roof over my head and food on the table in return for my efforts.

The people I've worked for and worked with are just that - people. I don't project in advance that they're part of a 'psychopathic' or 'toxic' corporate culture or some kind of monsters. If you think that working at a job you aren't interested in might be soul-crushing or distressing then you have every right to feel this way and in the end you're responsible for the decisions you make for your life. But the world isn't really as scary or threatening as you may think.

Only you know what you can and cannot deal with, but to draw such sweeping conclusions seems like a cramping worldview. You'd be surprised at how many good people are out there.
