I've lazed my way into the very heart of a soulless, monolithic corporate machine. For all my father-rage, I seem hellbent on living within extremely paternal systems.
It's funny. Almost nothing has changed in terms of my working life in seven years, apart from a momentary collapse into minimum wage sweatshop slavery. I'm working at the same company I was when I first started writing on tmo. Still a temp. Still wearing shitty shoes and creased suits.
Just get through it, and go home.

OH no sorry. That's the average earning for people in my company... Trying to find out how many employees there are now.

next time somebody tells you about how they've jacked it all in to chase their dream, just remember mind that you're keeping shit running so the system allows them to do it. It's actually all thanks to you. You're at the centre of everything. It's just that nobody has realised.

I just checked the phone list, and apparently I'm one of 27, split over three offices (UK, USA and Japan). None of us has a soul. When I started here, there were over 75 of us.

If you had had a wank, would you have been imagining Ringo naked whilst you did it?

I can't find out how many people work for my company. Here's a lovely example of glossy recruitment bullshit from the website, though:
We may be a big organisation, but it's our focus on the smallest details that allows us to stand out. After all, we know that our most important asset is you. So when it comes to a working environment, you won't find one better - something that’s been recognised by The Sunday Times, who have awarded us as one of the best big companies to work for in the UK based on feedback from our employees.
...our overall aim is to create an environment that encourages you to grow and develop at a pace you're comfortable with, and enjoy your life in the process.
We're big on recognition too, and we never set the limit on what can be achieved. So if you've an ambition you want to attain, we'll do everything we can to help you reach it. There's no doubting that our environment is a demanding one, but you'll find the challenge of succeeding just as attractive as we do.

There's only 11 in my company. Advantages: no corporate bullshite-wankery, big fish in small pond. Disadvantages: bugger all holiday, no pay rises, work in damp basement, one toilet between us. Which means limited wanking opportunity.

I'm in the office at the moment. It's quite comfortable. I sit at 3.07C. I'm logged into the phone system and checked into my workspace. A slogan on the wall tells me to "be courageous". It's in brand colours and typeface.
There is a note next to my desk from Operations Infrastructure and Procurement. It reminds me
"Don't forget to check into your workspace"
It is laminated.
It features a photograph of some stacked up towels , taken from the corporate brand image library. I think the picture is a representation of order. It reminds me of the beauty of doing what I'm told.
