Have you ever worked in a large corporation?

Glory!



There's a big difference between the military culture and "corporate"
culture.

There is a large degree of accountability in the military and if it doesn't
work out, you're out. The jobs rotate every two years.

In the corporate world, the employees(management) set the rules. The rules
are designed to protect their own positions. This type of structure attracts
weak people with personality disorders. The jobs can last for years and
fifedoms can be set up. The same goes with any large organization other than
the military. In other words, wierd dysfunctional people flourish in these
type of organizations. Anyone who applies logic, rationality and expects
integrity will soon be disappointed or even flushed out. Those who fail to
realize this will eventually suffer psychological damage to some degree. In
dealing with these organizations expect the worst and act upon their weak
spots or centers of gravity. Deal with people on their weaknesses, not their
strengths. It's not a mutual win-win, it's either you or them.

If you want sanity and integrity, find some small company or start your own
business.

Amen!
