C'mon people don't take it so personally. It's just business and no one is looking out for you. It's every (wo)man for themselves. And until you get that, you'll always be a victim. As long as you work "for the man," you'll always be expendable, regardless of how much you contribute to the cause. Just remember...it's not your cause. Don't be fooled by company rhetoric and mission statements. You're a slave to the man. You're fulfilling their dreams, making the almighty dollar for them. Stop fooling yourselves! Follow your own passion, you'll be much happier for it. Layoffs, schmayoffs. C’mon people don’t take it so personally. It’s just business and no one is looking out for you.
