Peter Gibbons: Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements.
--------------
Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?
Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my *** off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime; so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob Slydell: Eight?
Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled; that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

Good Q!

Agree 50%. while you're no longer a "lower back place of work" individual, why are you nonetheless there? while you're tender in cubeland, then that is not any longer a difficulty. while you're working for a agency that doesn't pay for overall performance (without being a sweatshop), then welcome to the land of mediocrity, that's the two regarded and rewarded. lower back, you're lost. If the prestige quo is all you prefer plus slightly CYA for sturdy degree, then you easily're in chuffed city.
