“How the fuck could they make that lazy prick a supervisor/manager?” Another line I have heard on repeat for many a year. Sometimes I personally witnessed the present boss doing fuck-all during their tenure on the floor with the rest of us. Sometimes the rise took place before my arrival and my coworkers were ever…

I can still remember my amazement the first time I hooked up a TV and it tuned itself in automatically. Wow! Such wonderous technology! When I was a kid, we had to tune every single station individually using that fucking spinning dial around the channel knob. Kneeling on the floor twisting that fucken dial waiting…

I can’t let it rest just yet, not until I get the key point sorted. In the previous post I explained my theory that almost all people on the bottom to middle management spectrum of the corporate structure are just working stiffs on different income levels. It possibly goes on all the way to the…

“I do everything around here!” “This place would be fucked without me!” And the limitless variations on this theme. Oh, to have a dollar for every time I heard it. Shit, I ‘d be rich to have a dollar for every time I thought it myself! Wouldn’t be worth enough to get paid only for…

I would like to continue regarding generation X in Australia and our limited fact checking ability. This time I am curious about the potential gullibility this creates. I cannot personally remember ever being so eager for proof of something that I went trolling through the library referencing system (don’t get me started). I am sure…

Let’s have a peek at that mysterious netherworld of the corporation. All those people in ‘middle management’, who work at ‘head office’ and any other characters that the workers on the floor randomly see being led around the facility by a honcho or never see at all. In this topsy turvy wonderland, positions appear and…
