work perversity

Of all the perversities that Corporate America has thrown at me, the following bugs me more than any other:

The more you get paid, the ruder you get to be.

(You also get to rewrite history, forget about any part you may've played in a perceived mistake and later act as if nothing happened at all. All annoying, but the rudeness bugs me most.)

Now, if there were truly a correlation between amount of work done and salary earned, it might make all of this a little easier to take. The sad truth is that the true work is often done in the trenches and usually more than once since TPTB delight in yelling out different directions every day.

The hardest thing about being closer to the top? With every step upward, there's a smaller number of necks to choose from when the guillotine gets hungry.
