A smash hit single that enables you to quit HugeCorp. Maybe you don’t have it worse, but you have the ability to write a song about it. A smash hit single that enables you to quit HugeCorp.

A lot of us are doing things we loathe or don't care about, for the money, and I don't have it any worse. kStyle – Not sure anybody wants to hear me whining in song about my crummy job.

I have become too far removed from that kind of thing, and it's making me crazy. <strong>kStyle</strong> - Your God can't help you at HugeCorp. <strong>June</strong> - They definitely don't have enough to do, but that's just as well, since they don't know how to do much of anything.

That story is a classic, though--really one of the best I've ever heard about the stupidity of management. I think you nailed it, though--they're not interested in profit, they're interested in the <i>appearance</i> of profit, which is a whole other exercise. There's something to be said for the work I'm doing, low-paid though it is: either you have a croissant to sell, and somebody buys it, or not. I wish I could help you, Larry.

I don't have the heart to become their Working Class Hero/labor organizer, and it would take a big committment/serious effort to get them to go along with something like what you describe. Inertia and fear would be the obstacles. So I guess that leaves only the "get another job" option. . Oh, and firebombing.
