Now, having renewed its lease in its namesake tower, the Gas Co. is cutting its space from 15 floors down to 12 in what may be the largest office makeover underway in Southern California. (The office also has about 12% fewer employees than in 1991.) Among the changes will be fewer private offices and more compact standardized workstations for those who spend their days in the office.From sardines in a can to rats in a cage.
The new feudalism is on the march as well.
Age makes a difference, workplace experts say. Baby boomers longed for a corner office and expected to separate their work lives from their home lives.Fucking sheep youth, brainwashed into 24/7 corporate dronery by technology infatuation.
"Younger workers' lives are all integrated, not segregated," Rivard said. "They have learned to work anywhere — at a kitchen table or wherever." Many don't feel a need to spend time in company quarters.
One of our meat space associates once applied for a job at said Gas Co., where he was informed that the woman he might be replacing had "failed to re-invent herself," whatever the fuck that means. (That she's out of a job because she didn't knuckle under her to corporate oppressors?)
So, fellow residents, stay away from the Gas Co. Tower. It's only a matter of time. And don't say we didn't warn you.
BANG!!

I know exactly what that means. It means more time for blogging, and less money for buying stuff.

That's how it worked out for us, & oddly enough for our friend as well, 'cept he doesn't run a web log.
What's more important though, truth, or money?
