this is America right now.
employee: "Yeah, i want to drive a school bus. I want the job more than anything"
interviewer: "Ok, sounds great... you seem like a wonderful person who would be a valuable asset to our team. So, we need to get you into the safety courses and basic classes to make sure you can get the appropriate drivers license"
employee: "what?! what the fuck? i've been driving since i was 16. why are you doing this to me? is it because i am from El Salvador? are you racist? i know my rights! you have no right to tell me how to drive school kids. I can't believe the balls you have!! I'm calling my attorneys. Fuck you! Fuck your little job offer"
I worked in Russia for 10 years. I ran several companies with around 300 employee from the mid 90's to 05'. It's a sad world when i can get more done, more easily in a system thats in total chaos and work with more security there, than i can in the USA. Hiring people at all here is a liability. Having any employees at all in this country is a huge liability. Making money here is a liability. Success is a liability. In a county that is supposed to celebrate success and a free market, you get punished and are under constant attack by ambulance chasing attorneys or employees that want to sue you for discrimination because you shot down the "i want to talk around the office naked with a dildo hanging out my ass every friday" idea.
the funny thing is that things keep sliding further and further downhill. the lowest common denominator and the worst decision makers and the most incompetent and useless people get ever increasing power to tell you how to run your business.
it just gets worse. we have an idiot that will probably be president who has said nothing in the last year but "hope" and "change" and ranted against big business and talked about all the great taxes he will create to solve every social ill.
as i get older, i realize the pendulum swings, has swung and will swing. its fruitless to stand in front of it and try to change its direction... better to just side step it, get out of the way and find some happiness, however you can before you die.
