Daycare for Adults

When did the workforce become a daycare? If you think about it there is really no difference. It's the same concept. Its a big area where a big, bunch of big people are placed every day to stay for 8 hours until they can go home to their families. They get to have a snack in the morning, lunch in the middle of the day and then a snack in the afternoon if they so choose, just like daycare. The only difference is we miss the nap.

The other huge common factor is the maturity level of which we have resulted too in the last few years with coworkers. Everyone is afraid of job security, "one upping" each other and plain, old fashioned stabbing in the back that is just absolutely ridiculous. Whatever happened to getting up, going to work and doing your damn job and getting paid for it? Why can't we all just do that for a change and to hell with what else goes on around you? Is it the stress of management? Has that gone to hell in a hand bag? Is it the stress and ridiculous of upper management? Is it the stress of the financial situation or are we all just tense and we take it out on the people that we see the most, which is our co workers? Heck, we spend more time with them than we do our families.

It has come down to the point that if it's not like a daycare, it's a freakin' soap opera and we all know how pointless, mindless and ridiculous soap operas really are when you view them on the TV screen.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Golden Rule just applied and everyone just came in, did their job and attempted to just put as much effort into their desk work as they did minding their own freaking business? Companies might start to excel, revenue might go up, turnover might decrease and the world might just be a better place!

Just a dream though, instead it's a daycare for adults. It starts out as a teenager when you work at McDonalds and you tell yourself, "Well when I get a real job things will be better" but it just doesn't happen. Maybe some day the world will just RELAX and people won't be so paranoid and everyone can just get along.
