so much for the six month plan



I looked at the staff directory at my new workplace today and was astounded. Of 60 odd staff working here, at least 50 are managers! That's like a 5-1 staff to manager ratio. Boy, either the staff really need a close eye on them, or the company really likes promotions!

Alas, I fear the reality is much more mundane. It's all part of this 'streamline', work-from-home, 'open plan', modern workplace BULLSHIT. End of the day, you might be able to call yourself a 'manager', but your job's just as shitty as it was 2 years ago.

Where are there job openings for peasant? I want to sit on a haystack flinging mud at my inbred family for a sack of potatoes and a bucket of milk and catch dysentry, it's got to have more meaning than 'employer investments in people'.
