Corporate GarbageThis month in the spirit of cynicism and breaking tradition, I'm deciding to throw corporate America under the bus. I'm here to rally with everyone else participating in the Great Resignation and am all for an epic middle finger. Here's the deal. I've been submitting a slew of applications with the best of intentions and very few favorable responses. It happens. It's actually more of a way of life for lots of people my age and younger, but hey. We'll be the ones to pave a better way forward. Anyway, there I was sending attachments out into the ether when I got a notification email. Have a look-see: Corporate attention to detail. Photo credit: Martha Oschwald P.S. This Stripe employee's information is public on her LinkedIn page so I'm not too worried about exposing a public position. Notice anything special? Any hints of corporate arrogance or apathy, perhaps? Complete disregard for the human beings that fuel their companies and handsome profiteering? A veil so thin it gives "The Emperor's New Clothes" a run for its money? Nah.
Here's the thing. Corporations keep on truckin'. There's not a lot we can do about it until the entire system eventually collapses. In the meantime, cracks in the wall like this overt sloppiness let me know I made the right decision to freelance my way out of this mess.
