Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Consideration is 66.17% of acceptance______:-\ufffd
BTW on reflection - {it's even Scarier}
Your brief but comprehensive essay makes clearest why it IS that none of the massive techno- and even socio- reasoning re the Mega-kluge which Doze is.. ever penetrates. In an atmosphere such as you describe, the 'verity' of ANY remark or reply is, in time - automatically filtered to perfection into the what 'they' wish to hear today bin (at least - among all those who stay for a time). If I read with comprehension.

Were I writing a Discworld clone, I could use your description of Bizness in Ankh-Morpork as a veritable storyboard backbone for describing the fear-factor which inhibits honest communication.. (and it does no 'good' that, via subtle and gradual innuendo, one might.. get across a small fraction of a Large idea. With trepidation, palpable Risk.)

ie. No Wonder! US-bizness Sucks Galaxy-sized spiked objects (and for that matter -- any other places that rote emulate Our Style). No Wonder either.. the depression, the ennui.. the fucking earned cynicism culminating in some variety of disgust - whenever some unfortunate near-Original thinker might find self amidst such regimented fluff.

Poor {naive} Bastard! Get. Out. and Live... *anywhere else*. Or shrivel down, to fit inside that Armani brain-armor + Power Leash around that constricted vulnerable neck.


Great sociology stuff! At least I finally grok to fullness the utter futility of what used to be called dialogue; it's all Monologue signifying nada, at baby-talk level of both sincerity and content. [No doubt there are a few exceptions.. At your level of tentative-acceptance, for possessing techno competence they Know they need: maybe you get an exemption from some of the affectations? Hope so.] But then.. you get to close a real door! too

Mr. Lay sez, "Gosh! nobody TOLD me.." and everyone Rolls Eyes. But.. WTF WOULD 'tell' Shark #1 that Unpleasant Thought #1 .. such a tangled web we weave when first we build a bizness on deceit -but please to call it- Team Spirit cha. cha. ca. ca. A Petri dish for the likes of Billy et al - who, like bin-Laden, perfectly Understand "how it Is that We Are.. here": Shark-meat.

{Gawd} Am I Glad: I Missed This !!! as in fucking {Whew!}
Causes me to feel even-Freer! by comparison, y'know?
So - It's an even Better Day! {out here} :-) :-)


Thanks again for the horrifying Survival Primer,

Ashton


{Whew} {Aaahhhhhh}

Consideration is 66.17% of acceptance______:-รพ
New Nope again
Disagree.

I don't filter what I say to my boss.
I don't filter what I say to HIS boss, the CIO.
I don't filter what I say to HIS boss, the CEO.

If something broken, I tell them.

But I don't bitch to other employees.
I don't gossip.
I don't backstab.
But I will openly advocate firing incompetent people
within my own department, and subtly advocate the
same in others. To people who can make the decision.

Nor do I seed dissent. If someone is bitching, I
tell them to document it and send it as an email to their
boss.

I KNOW one of the reasons I am valued to highly is they
can trust me to tell them when something is wrong.

On the other hand, people to bitch to me since I have
no problem working the levels above me to get something
done.
