The Corporate World Doesn’t Suck, You Do
Time to face some harsh truths
I can already feel your blood boiling from here…
You’re thinking something along the lines of: fuck this guy. He doesn’t know anything about my life. He doesn’t know the bullshit I have to deal with every day. Just another corporate boot licking shill.
So let’s start out with me making a bold claim: I’ve talked more shit and poked more fun at the corporate world than maybe any other writer on this site. Don’t believe me? Take a look at my list of work in that space:

And look at the applause count on some of them. People fucking love it when I talk shit about the corporate world. But the second I suggest even a hint of responsibility on their part? Their comments are short and to the point:
Fuck you.
Therein lies the difference between us. While I poke fun and talk some trash about the corporate world, I do it from a place of amusement and sometimes mild irritation. That’s because I love playing the corporate game…
