A good read about what's really going on in Hooterville.

I think my last captain said it best, "Would the company lie to you to benefit themselves?"

 

[fender_jag]

Management would never do such a thing. Uh-uhhh, no way...

"Ask yourself. Is this good for the company?"

Screw that. I hear those pep rallies and I say, screw the company because it's going to screw me. Is it good for me? No, well, screw 'em, then!

When I work at the Big D the rampers believed that if the company said it was a good idea and good for everyone then it was only good for the company and the employee was bound to get hosed big time. And of course if happens every time that way.

So, how does that work out when you explain that in your interviews?

I'm obvioiusly not stupid enough to say that during interviews. But why do I go to work? It's all about the paycheck. If I could collect a decent sized check for sitting on my ass at home downloading porn, I'd be perfectly happy to do it.

Just find a way to get fired and draw unemployment!

LOL, unemployment's only $300 a week -- remember, I said decent sized check.

It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that work will never be the focal point of my life. I work to live, not the other way around.

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He spots a man down below and lowers the balloon to speak with him. The balloonist gets close enough to speak with the man on the ground and shouts down to him, "Excuse me, but maybe you can help me. I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man on the ground responds, "No problem; you are in a hot air balloon hovering about 30 feet above this field. You are located at 26' 04.4 North Latitude, and 80' 09.2 West Longitude and drifting slowly south."

You must be an airline pilot, says the balloonist.

"I am, how did you know?" replies the man on the ground.

"Well," says the balloonist," everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of the information you gave me. I am still lost, so you have done absolutely nothing to help me!"

The man on the ground says "You must be in airline management."

"I am"; replies the balloonist, "how did you know?"

"Well"; says the man on the ground, "you do not know where you are or where you are going. You have made a promise that you did not and cannot keep and you expect me to solve your problems for you. The fact is that you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."
