The bosses from New York are in town this week, and, surprise, the people who supervise us remotely are too.
There were about three walk-through's of our work-space. None of our supervision really paid attention to us- they were busy kowtowing to the suits.
Funny, you get reports on your performance every day, but those who write the reports are not interested in the actual job- or worker.
Much more frightening was the transformation of the Millennials (my "colleagues") into Mini-X's. They no longer cared about their co-workers.
What they care about is sports, popular culture, and video gaming. The guy "running the room" is from a Detroit suburb, and runs a constant podcast stream of "97.1, The Ticket". Sports, and reactionary jerks. Plus other sporting events when his teams are down. Or, live twitch streams of first-person shooters.
I know more about Detroit's rush hour, than I do of our own, walking out to my car. Classic KWMU 90.1-3 (NPR Classical) goes on, to survive the 31 mile trip home.
What is frightening is how little sympathy they have for others. I only thought X had sunk so low. Almost all of them are far to the right of me.
Is this really why Trump won? Such societies tend to have systemic breakdowns, because no-one cared.
