I know, I know. You have it absolutely
rough at work. You're underpaid, completely unappreciated, and
haven't seen your spouse since the Truman administration because
you're always at work doing silly business things like benchmarking
and paradigm shifting, whatever the heck that means.
And I won't even get
you started on your boss — the useless twit who has roughly
the same level of intelligence you would expect from an individual-sized
tub of extra-curdled "lite" generic brand cottage cheese.

I know. I understand.
You're not alone. You're completely normal even. In fact, in
a recent survey of 100 employees at major corporations, 98 used
words ranging from "buffoon" to "inbred"
when describing their bosses. The other two were out sick the
day the survey taker called.
Why is work like that? |

Beats the heck out
of me. But I wrote a book about it anyway. I hope to get it published
soon. For now, click here for a sneak preview.
Or you can click
here, give me your e-mail address, and I'll let you know when the book
is published. (You can also send me an e-mail message directly at Why_Work_Sucks@hotmail.com.)
And don't worry about me selling your address to some junk mail
company. If you get messages advertising "performance"
enhancing drugs, fabulous investment opportunities in vinyl siding,
or live sex sites were real "barely legal" models actually
pop out of your modem and defragment your hard drive, it wasn't
because of me. Not that I couldn't use the money, mind you. I
just haven't the foggiest idea how to do that, and all the programmers
are stuck in meetings. |
