No title 5

And again, we're back to the same old routine... In which nobody knows exactly what he/she wants, except a promotion, in which nobody knows how he/ she plans to move ahead, how the projects for this year will work along the way, but they want new "simplification" ideas, in which nobody knows what the upper management exactly wants, but they will still shove the new "way of thinking, the new mindset, mentality..."(...aaahhh!!!...whatever, it's still CRAP!) down your throat.
I believe everybody knows that at the core of a corporation, we have the renowned pyramidal system, which in today's translation would be: a cascade of shit which is transferred from the CEO to manager to manager to manager down to the very last lousy admin. What does this explanation tells us? That the "pond" of admins will gather the whole amount of "cascaded" shit, one way or another. So either you ate a lot of shit when you were growing up so you had the luck to be born a CEO, or you will eat it when you'll get the "luck" to be hired as an admin.
Enough "shitty" words...
Let's get back to the real frustration: which is, having for a manager a shit-head(sorry, couldn't help myself!). Now, that's fun. Imagine (well, I don't really think that you have to imagine it, as everyone has experienced it one way or another) being asked for a lot of meaningless, but hard to get, reports and getting no feedback in return. Imagine being asked to act like a control freak, and literally check every step you make and not do a single mistake, but getting no recognition when you actually have no mistakes. Imagine being told that you're gonna be worked like a labor horse, and that, with the smile on the face. Imagine all that, and on top of it, imagine being asked to act and work with the best attitude, come up with the greatest ideas, accomplish a meaningful work, balance your work life (basically cover in 8 hours what is the work for 12) with your personal life, i.e., have no more personal life. How can one cope with all that? Because I imagine that not all of us come from rich families which could support us in case we'd decide to do nothing, so one must endure this day-to-day routine and stress in order to pay the rent, pay the food, the clothes and everything. But...how? Ignoring it and do a lousy job, and simply care about it only as much as it holds you in the position and not get fired, or still giving your best, and trying to actually do something and move things ahead? I guess this is a matter or personal choice and each of us makes it every day at 9 o'clock. It's not on the premise that "Today I'm gonna care and say something valuable in that meeting, but tomorrow I'm not gonna give a shit and I'm gonna watch youtube the entire day", it's either one or the other. Either one has a mindset, in which the duty is the guiding moral, or one has a "lazy-ass" mindset or the Ignore-setup, in which he/she is doing only what he/she is asked to do (or not even that) and simply doesn't care of what may come... A question that inevitably arises is: what happens when the hard-worker has to work with the lazy-ass? I'll tell you what happens: hundreds of follow-ups, analyzes which should be done, but are not, answers regarding issues being given without a pre-check, lack of interest in what is being discussed, lack of ability in making the simplest presentation and giving any kind of "earthly" replies and so on... ("earthly"= in touch with reality; instead, some of the argumentation seem to come from Mars)
Ah, the humanity!!! Or should I say: ah, the incapacity of the humanity!
Limits, self limitation versus mind exploring and trying to find that better version of you... I'm simply asking myself what will happen next. Better, worse, or...remorse? That would have a meaning only in purgatory. I feel there is no more space for remorse, or any kind of shameful feelings, here on earth. Everybody today makes a self-conducting through life motto from Al Pacino's favorite sin (see "Devil's Advocate"): Vanity...
I plead guilty also, don't worry... :P
