Pay, Pay, Pay

so much bureaucracy within the work system. its never fails to amaze me how so many organizations are always swimming knee deep in ridiculous practices. there are always better ways to do whatever work you are in, but management mandates that 'things have been done this way for years' and once again we are back to the stone age again. i have long practice the go-with-the-system, and just float downstream syndrome. it is infinitely impossible to try and fight the system when you are within the system.

how do you point out all the fallacies and loop holes of the organization without you coming across as another 'Holier Then Thou'. i am not a disgruntled cog in the wheel. a long time ago, my rose tinted glasses which i look out through were marred by too much brilliant people that got swept under the twisted apathy that every middle management practices. why don't they get recognized and rewarded. why is it so hard to get thru to so called 'trailed and tested' routines? the world changes, every situation that we encounter is finite with the off chance that it can change in an infinite way. why can't they see that you cannot always expect the square block to always find its way into the square hole. there IS no square hole.

work because it puts food on the table. work because it pays your bills. Maslow's Theory of Needs stipulates that once we satisfy our basic needs of food and shelter, we will turn to building up our self esteem and then finally reach self-actualization where we will reach our goal of achieving recognition for your contribution in the work place. in this day and age, how we will actually reach that stage still baffles me. is it even possible? i shudder at the thought that it's not possible. on the same token, how far do we have to tread before we actually see the light.

Cave quid dicis, quando, et cui.
