Angling For Benefits

Everybody wants that job today. The one that pays benefits.

Sick time, vacation time or whatever corporate euphemism is used to describe the same thing. Vacation pay.

Much harder than it used to be because corporations are committed to creating a workforce that is 80% part timers.

Don't have to pay them benefits, no OT, they can screw with your hours.

And absolutely no commitment.

They can treat you like garbage because that is how they perceive you. An expendable resource with no connection to humanity.

Still there is something horribly pathetic, horribly awry, with feverishly chasing that benefit rich job.

It is more like avoiding a negative than achieving a positive. We will do anything to worm our way into that position. Sell our souls, our dignity, our everything to get what corporate america has maneuvered to be the ultimate prize.

Desperation. The new corporate incentive.
