Not to (overly) condone the 3 martini lunch, but when did a more open working environment and corporate generosity just disappear? It was certainly before my time; I've known nothing but the callous and demanding corporate culture in which much of America currently works. In a world where C-level management is compensated at a higher ratio compared to the overall workforce than ever before, today's "front-line" employees are not only paid less, but are provided with a much less inviting environment with less leniency, fewer perks, and a much lower level of autonomy in completing their jobs.....and they're required to be ever-more efficient. This equation and the direction and momentum of it's change has never made sense to me. Yes, it is the way things work (currently), but this is not one of those things that needs to be axiomatically accepted. "God grant me the serenity," and this requires the wisdom to understand the difference; that a change is possible. Not with laws, but with the purchasing power of our own wallets. We can truly "be the change [we] wish to see in the world." More to come...
