Greetings & Salutations

I have been a human being for a long time now. I know, sounds kind of odd to say such a thing but being Human and having the ability to understand what is going on in the world around us is not, in many cases, an attribute that everyone can appreciate. Businessmen, politicians, and Monday morning quarterbacks do not value the honest breakdown of of their actions. They do not want to know the truth or think about the end game. All that concerns them is the here and now.

An excellent example of this is sports analysis.  In the beginning of the year as they struggled to win games, the Pittsburgh Steelers were revealed to have some problems. Then they won several games in a row and the analysts declared that the Steelers had righted the ship. Recently that very same Steeler team has seemed to have tipped their canoe once again. The moral of the story? They were never a very good team over the long haul. In actuality they were not a very good team last year but they managed, as the did the Cardinals, to make it to the Super Bowl, which the Steelers subsequently won. Now if I offered you the choice of one Super Bowl today or two tomorrow, which would you take?

I have never worked for a Wall Street firm or been part of a Fortune 500 business. I have never been fired and walked out the door with $400,000. To be honest I have moved from job to job seeking a place were intelligence, honesty, and foresight were more important than how many years experience someone had in food service industry.  In the one place I found it, my mot recent place of employment, I had to leave because life itself took me in a different direction.

Why am I bothering to write this blog? Very simple really. I believe that there are others out there, like myself, who see modern business and the modern workplace for the shamefully dehumanizing place that it is. An honest commentary if you will, which I doubt will make me many friends and deliver any job offers. Never the less since it is free I will avail myself of the right to speak my mind.
