So you wait until I'm gone to have a perfectly splendid tinfoil hat thread?! Hrmph! I feel welling inside me a manifesto presenting Corporate America *as* Big Brother. Must be the week spent around my dad.

Considering my recent work experience, I think your manifesto would be well recieved - if not blocked...

Sing along boys and girls -- you know the words! Rise of corporate entity to "person" status...legally, economically, and politically sanctioned supremacy of corporate "people" over flesh and blood people...shift to service economy and away from skilled labor...shift away from employer/employee loyalty...perception that employees are interchangeable and disposable...fracture between concepts of "job" and "career"...proliferation of employee conduct codes that go beyond the workplace, plus methods for monitoring that conduct within and outside the workplace...

That's the condensed version.

You NEED to listen to the DEVO interview from the other thread. NEED.

Frankly, all that's missing is a tightrope walker
