Corporate Drone
Sometimes you read the most insightful things on Slashdot. It’s rare, I admit, but it does happen every once in a while. Here’s a quote from this morning that I can relate to in such an intimate way that it makes my heart sink.
It’s your job as a corporate drone to rate management’s decisions on a scale from good to excellent. Anything less might label you as a bump in the road, a thorn in the side.
I have always been one to voice my opinion in tactful ways to the leadership at the companies for which I’ve worked. But I’m starting to get beat down and am becoming a little cynical about the whole system.
At my company we are just past review time and rapidly approaching raise time. After receiving a very dissappointing ranking slot, I’m not looking forward to the small raise that normally accompanies an average position.
*sigh* Battling cynicism is so difficult.
