Beware the Wrath of Upper Management

I’m a freelance writer for a reason. For the times when I chose to work for the man, I felt caged, controlled, and almost angry at myself for allowing myself to be belittled regularly. I understand that in whatever work we do, we’re all accountable to someone else at some point. In the corporate world, however, people are consistently accountable to upper management. Apologies, I mean, Upper Management. If you don’t believe me, ask your supervisor who has a supervisor. <h2>Let’s put you down for a minute</h2> Nothing makes a person feel like less than someone else than when the Leadership Team is mentioned in conversation. It’s the instant way to draw a line between those that do the work and those that expect the work to be done. In whoever said the bad word’s defense, it’s the culture. They’ve been part of it for so long, they probably don’t know any better. The irony in that culture is that there’s so much team-building talk that is regularly thrown around by this year’s fresh-on-the-job HR person, they seem to miss the morale-building part of the exercise. I knew someone who once said about his corporate job, “I didn’t come here to make friends, I came here to make money.” Needless to say, team-building is wasted on him. It’s too late. He can’t be helped. Also, I’m not sure if he really falls victim to low morale because of his naturally pleasant demeanor (eye roll). <a href="https://medium.com/the-candid-lollipop/beware-the-wrath-of-upper-management-8b72c2245dd0">Click Here</a>
