I read the article, as well. I don’t think most of the sheeple want(ed) to `rock the boat.’ They keep their opinions to themselves. I have found that most people don’t want to try to make things better, they just want(ed) to get their paycheck every two weeks and eventually “retire.”

Most people who observe a physical fight going on will not try to goad the perpetrator to stop or step in to help the victim. Some will disappear around the corner to call 911.

It is completely true that most work meetings are a complete waste of time. It’s a chance for the same lackeys over and over to try and take credit for others’ work product or the “PTB’s” to pat each other on the back. The employees who were usually “recognized” in these meetings often had poor attendance records (causing their co-workers to constantly fill in for them) and exhibited poor character in other ways on the job.

And twelve workers (even all of the same classification) bumping their heads together in a meeting is akin to a comedy of errors :=0

Not sure if anything’s changed in the last eight or so years, since I was a “cog in a wheel.”

I much prefer taking control of a whole project by myself. That way, no one else can fvck it up if I have to be out of the office for any reason. The only person who can take credit for it is me, myself and I (and thusly get paid for ALL of it).

Okay, I’ll take credit for having some “control-freak” tendencies :=}

I think forming and maintaining “teams” are a ridiculous waste of money for employers. It just invites wasting time and socializing among team members.
