I had to the leave the office for lunch the other day. Usually, I sit at my desk and frantically eat while checking email, in hopes that I will not feel as guilty leaving early, since I “worked over lunch”.
My brain was melting after the horrific conversation I had had with the GM. By conversation I mean her spewing useless information at me, and then watching her eyes glaze over during my replies, until a sentence and a half later when she could no longer stand my voice and interrupts me to spew more irrelevant crap. We were rehashing the same issue, who’s account is who’s? We have “Rules of Engagement” but our authorities feel it is more “fair” to access each situation independently. It has become a HUGE problem. I take issue with this approach, I think it is a waste of time; there are rules for a reason.
While frantically eating in the parking lot of the fast food restaurant, I listen to Dennis Prager (a kick’n radio show host who discusses everything from religion, to gender to politics). The show I happen to podcast that day was talking about generalizations. Prager was saying something to the effect of, ‘The difference between humans and animals is simple, humans have a mind and animals have a brain, humans make generalizations and animals respond to specific events.’
The corporate world really is the animal world.
