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.

no person unearths it ordinary in the event that they understand the 1st element approximately . . . very very nearly something, truly. $10B in Iraq is given which you incorporate the great baseline that is spent no rely the place the troops have been and regardless of they have been doing. Over and above the "peace-time" baseline, Iraq isn't costing all that lots. on the different hand, "spending Billions to help individuals" is definitely-proved via historic previous to be a one hundred% fake premise. Even Obama reported (on television, no much less) that he's conscious this could certainly deepen and delay the recession. shop on with the plan. There are precisely 3 techniques this would pass one million) the government takes you funds, wastes maximum of it and places a sprint of it back into the economic gadget. 2) the government borrows funds, wastes maximum of it, places a sprint into the economic gadget then takes orders of magnitude extra OUT of the economic gadget to pay off the debt. 3) the government purely prints funds subsequently devaluing the money you have already got so badly that your annual gross sales won't purchase a container of rice crispies. Which of those do you think of could succeed? you may take your %. for the reason that we are DOING all 3, infant!! that's a one hundred% assure. a number of Republicans are even going alongside with it. i assume they want to sense like they are lined. Even devoid of them, this is occurring for the reason that Obama and one hundred% of Congressional Democrats insist on it.

Agree 50%. If you're not a "back office" person, why are you still there? If you are comfortable in cubeland, then it's not a problem.
If you are working for a company that does not pay for performance (without being a sweatshop), then welcome to the land of mediocrity, which is both recognized and rewarded. Again, you are misplaced. If the status quo is all you need plus a little CYA for good measure, then you're in happy city.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's the worst day of my life.
