another day of hearing about low morale. i'd rather just write an order to layoff all of our workers who really don't add any value to our overall department. whose skills have eroded like a snail's shell in vinegar. these folks ask the dumbest questions. their work is often completed by others. and their management still gives them high marks for doing their job when really they don't do it at all. i mean, if you are in an IT industry, you shouldn't be waiting for the company to teach you new skills. by definition, you should be independently acquiring these new skills. ugh. fire the lot of them, i say. yes, i know these folks have families to support, etc. but that's not a business' problem. we could easily hire new college graduates to do these people's work with half the salary and two-thirds less bullshit. ugh. i know someday my own skills will erode. i fully expect it. they're probably eroding already. but at the same time, i don't expect anyone else to care about me except me. and right now, i'm seeing alot of freeloading being done in my company. if this were my business... ugh. alot of folks would be so fired already. so fired. american business sure does hire alot of dumbasses.
