You know that they brought in a "workplace psychologist" to teach us how to deal with the "most praised generation"? Now I'm not saying that we Xers don't have our own issues - clearly we do - but when we hit the professional workplace, we adapted to the rules as set down by the Boomers, Silents and Greatests ahead of us - that was just the deal.<br /><br />You want to work in a high-stress, highly-compensated job, please put away your Binky and blanket, roll up your sleeves and get to work. For every one of you we hired, there are five more who would love to do your job - sadly they are all probably as lame as you are, but remember you are utterly replaceable. I'm sorry that the concept of a "crucible" is foreign to you, but I do not want to hear about how much you miss your girlfriend or boyfriend, how tired you are or how you don't get enough positive feedback. I'm still at my desk working away, so what makes you think you can go home? And if you do another document dump and dash on me, I will break you on the wheel.holdfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206911009978107266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-70648024878531284832010-06-17T14:05:12.906-07:002010-06-17T14:05:12.906-07:00Hey whiney anon!

Folks like Anon will never pull up their socks and face the fact that their own little egos were heartily complicit in acquiring useless degrees and crippling debt. They were blind, greedy marks for second- and third-rate schools that cater to families with more money than brains and a sense of entitlement. They all somehow believed that getting through a few course reading lists would bestow the keys to professional success. <br /><br />My own kids both elected to do engineering at state schools after being accepted at Ivies. They're both earning good livings. They both got the balance of the tuition money we'd saved and will use it for house down payments or grad school if their employers won't spring. My conscience is clear.<br /><br />Anon, run along and blame your own parents for screwing you up, if you're not man enough to take responsibility for your situation.

I agree with your basic assumption that as Americans we should become productive and skeptical of politicians including Republicans. But just being productive ignores that folks need to pool money and talent to produce things—even as terrible as Whole Foods, which provides money for small hard working organic farmers who produce food. And sometimes your rant takes a strange turn as you tells us to fuck motivational speakers, all the while teasing us with your own motivational twirl. Other times you seem blind to how it works as you hold up Rush as a person who wants to put us back to work, when it is Ed Schultz who features and promotes small entrepreneurs like yourself.roesch-voltairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802616989806761662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-27384499201716018632010-06-16T09:44:33.185-07:002010-06-16T09:44:33.185-07:00Dude, you absolutely just killed it!
