For the sake of the company
Job deadline, branding, schedule, brainstorming, memos, team building, branding, meeting, management, board, office ... are only a small part of the vocabulary defining "core" employees of large companies. It is a kind of language that was formed just a few years, because until the year 2000, these companies have not yet brought the western lifestyle and were only western dream of every college graduate. In the confused period of the '90s, full of retraining, it could not identify the man with his profession, as happened before when the doctor was "Sir" doctor "so the hospital as well as on the street where he lived, and the engineer have the same status of "comrade. engineer "and outside the factory gates. Today, however, people identified with the work, the company's brand, not to count training. We recognize as their corporate attitude and stop wondering if they are managers or accountants. An attitude of "borrowed" them at risk of depersonalized and, beyond some templates for import, not very different attitude than business-time employees.
A doomed socialist project in the '80s, which meant that we gather all in the "hunger circuses" and eat together, during office hours, has now become a reality, except that the dinner table and we call it lunch . The restaurants are full of eye working people between the hours of 13 and 15, and if you do not reserve a table you risk of not eating at all. After the 16:00 hours you only have the evening clients, when the bachelor party boys have some beer or "girls" want to indulge in a cake and a gossip to stay longer. At noon everything is standard, the commands (generally appreciated and classic buffalo with chips, drink - water without bubbles or cola, some bolder likely to drink a beer). In conversations the discussion is about business issues and small gestures such as watching the clock or consultation, in turn, the bill to see how much has each time (no one is honest, the tip is calculated as a "Shared" tab). In the evening, however, when the lights become more muted tones and music invites to relaxation, if you pull with your ear, you can get an idea of the corporate life, of course, the communistic version.
Today, the company has acquired buildings where you spend more than the regular 8 working hours, silent elevators and annexes, such as conference rooms or buffet. No longer smoke in hallways and offices continue to look like warehouses, but the furniture is quite different, not signed on.
We all dream of trainings to Paris or London, organizing raffles and buy Christmas gifts for kids colleagues without them and ask if they want, when they become adults, to work in such a place. Atmosphere "factory" is the same. Old work clothes were replaced by code defined clothes: women have a business suit which does not need to look too masculine, but also must not distract their classmates from chores, an unshaven man who comes several days in a row is labeled as a drunkard, one with a crumpled shirt is suspected to have problems at home. Nepotism works just as well as in socialism, in key positions are people with no training that they do not know what the are doing there, but make decisions. Promotions were replaced with upgrades and every employee dreams of becoming a manager and have the best secured parking, the small office politics is the same, we want privileges without really deserving them. It is still sometimes feeling like no one works, in fact, nothing.
Progress or not I let you decide.
