Techno, is integrity a part of your ideal state?
|
It is, to those I respect. It's a bit wishywashy admittedly, but here's how it works. I don't see the need for integrity when dealing with what I regard as wrong. A prime example would be my debts to various banks. I have fuck all intention of paying it back, ever. They don't need it, they're not suffering because they've not had it back and as they're an organisation founded on the concept of greed, fuck 'em. However, I also owe money to friends, which has been regularly paid off. It's just a question of respect. If you act like a good person, I'll be groovy with you, act like a money-loving-mofo and I'll take the piss.

Many of us would probably be more in our "ideal states" if we only went to work 75% of the time, but that probably sounds laughable to the people that busted their butts to start up the businesses that hire the rest of us.

Here's the mad thing. There's more of us than there are them. So why not do exactly that and live in your ideal state? If we all say "No, fuck you" together, we win! As I only work 75% of the time, so should you and so should everyone. We're not getting any happier working these 40 hours a week. So lets make a better way.

I heartily agree that even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat. Yet, if you think you're too good for your job, you'd better prove it by finding or creating a better one.

Amen. Signed on with a new recruitment agency today, fucking rodents. Hopefully something not too insulting will come my way.
In fairness, most of my problems with jobs are due to the innate screwiness of capitalism and the type of job*. Maybe with a decent, worthy and inspiring job, I'd be less angry and willing to put in more effort than waking up.

marketing.
