Most people I’ve met, including a younger me, have been manipulated to go work for a tyrannical CEO who gets off watching you pour your heart into a project just to cash that check and give you 5 more projects due in the same amount of time. We do it because we’re conditioned to think that we are successful if we work hard, make more money, and get promotions. Yet as the employee, they control everything you can do and make you feel guilty for taking breaks and vacations you’ve earned (if they even let you take any). The more you rise in the company, the more of a slave you are.

The corporation’s goal is to strip you of your humanity for you to give them everything you have for a couple of dollars, to live paycheck to paycheck and they feel burdened that you need to spend time with your family.

Then after giving your life to them, they pat you on the back if you’re lucky, if not, maybe a manager goes and stabs you in the back and gets you fired.

One way to fix this broken system is for the employees to stand up to these tyrannical higher beings (how “they” see themselves) and just say no, but then how do we survive?

Maybe companies could potentially start treating workers a little more like humans? Maybe employees need to start their businesses with the skills they’ve learned? What do you think?
