Jobs...today.

I am nearing 65 next April.

We have gone backwards and not forward. WHAT is going on? Work is now lean..what is lean? I honestly think it is means, MEAN.

We no longer have hour lunches but half an hour. No longer do we have coffee and smoke breaks. I remember working 8 hours and having 1 hour lunch and mandatory 2 fifteen minute breaks. What happened? We used to go for Friday lunches at wonderful places and actually have a drink and some 2 and we were fine. NOT ANY MORE. No one is allowed that luxury. Slavery is now in place and what we thought we abolished is really MICO MANGED and tracks us with our computers and management. WHAT THE H..ll has happened to the good old days? We are getting rid of employees and replacing them with out sourced work from INDIA and the Philippines. Only thing is that eventually the realization is that customers are not happy and left behind. LEAN is not the answer. I feel sorry for the future. We had it so beautiful until NOW. I am sitting at my desk, stressed, staring and not blinking my eyes, no breaks, I arrive home EXHAUSTED, UNHAPPY and now thinking NORTH AMERICA is HELL. I want to move to a happy country and that means 3RD WORLD as they are human beings and not ROBOTS like we have become. I wish we could get rid of COMPUTERS and barter with each other and take time to have fun. This wold is not FUN any more..give me the good old days and good old movies to remember ..and give me old people to chat with.
