Looking back over the years, I realize I’ve reached the months of the year where I absolutely loath my job.  My company is one of those huge ocean liners that never turn on a dime and think they are just on the cutting edge of things.

We constantly are bombarded by emails, posters, and cheery phone messages saying how wonderful our company is to work for and how much money they are raking in.  But if you work for a large corporation, you know where this rant is going to end up.  

It’s justify-your-job-time yet once again.  It’s that lovely time of year where you have to come up with ways for them to prove to you and their managers that they have good little workers and they deserve all the credit for making them that way!

I do like working for Large Company.  It’s nice, friendly, and pays me okay.  It gives me health benies and lovely lots of paid vacation.  But 2 months out of the year I hate Large Company for making me think about how little of a raise I’m going to get and just how darn grateful I should feel. 

“You want more gruel?”  “Yes please.”  “Here it is and that will be a pound of flesh if you dont mind”.. 

Meanwhile, smothering me under emails, cheery posters, and frickin’ phone calls……

 Argh!
