What is your gig?

[AVG-JOE]

I'm in the Healthcare industry, subsection DEATH.

I just had a conversation about this today. Family Dollar, Dollar General and Freds are great buys. Obama's policies will continue to increase the divide between the haves and the have-nots. It's time we got ready.

I've been shopping at the Dollar Store since GWB 1 was in office. Am I a have, or have not I wonder.....................

Should have bought stock in Dollar Store way back then too.

If you have to work to make a living?

Even if you are making $250,000+ a year, you are a have not.

The HAVES are so unbelieveable wealthy that it boggles the mind, folks.

They truly are only about 1% of the population.

And most of you upper middle class types who imagine that when people like me bitch about the rich, you're included?

Well, you're just wrong.

You people deserve every fucking cent you have.

You are paying the lions share of the tax cuts that the TRULY wealthy are now no longer paying.

Some of you are dumb enough to think that welfare poverty is causing you taxes to rise, but most of you, I think are smart enough to realize that welfare is a small very samll part of the real problem you are facing.

Most people on WELFARE are under 16 years of age, folks.

They're not parsites, they're children.

Then it seems to me that education, as an industry, is failing. Should we care?

It's not like the porn industry... few would care if that failed - as long as the reason it fails is reasonable laws as to how We, The People are allowed to make personal choices in life and not some black coated gestapo shutting it down for anybody's paranoid parents.

Is anyone in the leadership industry finally talking about promoting the education industry?!?

Sounds almost as important as the banking industry to me!

-Joe

P.S. - The top line is true. I work in a cemetary. Actually, a big corporation owns it, but they pay me fairly for what I do. The industry is still heavily regulated from its bitch-slap for greed in the 70's & 80'S. The paperwork sucks but it's a living.

Sorry kids - I forgot to add "Something else, I'll tell you in the thread".

My bad.

 

[Care4all]

i said leadership because i was a great Boss and taught all of my employees all that i knew, never afraid of them one day taking my place or job away.....this produced at least 15 of my own employees to become managers or supervisors or even directors such as myself, for the company in other areas of the business...

this was not teaching young kids, but some of them were kids to me, in their early twenties.

 

[Meister]

Geeze, I'm retired. I guess I'm one of the "old white haired people," I guess I fall under the "useless" column.

 

[xsited1]

None of the above.

 

[eots]

I have been a man of many hats..but for me my latest employ is the most surreal of all i monitor CCTV screens and operate all doors and man traps at a banking warehouse... just like a high security prison without any prisoners I'm locked down in a bullet proof control room for 9 hrs ...its always kind of weird when a huge load of money comes in millions at a time ..there is always a tension and quasi-military feel in the air..and when you see this enormous pile of cash I swear the karmic energy is like Satan himself is present...the dark lord has arrived...

 

[jaded110]

At the moment? still searching for a job.

Doesn't mean you don't still 'do' something, does it?

[garyd]

None of the above. I don't make car parts, I don't make parts for xray machines, nor do I make parts for the chairs upon which fat ass bureaucrats sit their more or less useless butts I was however once a school teacher. I am a machinist making parts for the chemical industry and others who need to measure fluid levels in various containers many of which aren't see through.

One thing we do need to do however is to get the federal government out of education to the greatest extent possible. All The department of education has done thus far in its brief existence is provide another level of bureaucracy to siphon money away from local schools.

Damn, Care... That is an accomplishment!

You said 'was'. What did you do? Private company or government?

I was thinking 'leadership' industry as in 'public sector'.

Keep looking... don't quit. I've got a good feeling about this next economy. I am going to invest in it. Heavily.

How the hell did we end up with so much paperwork? I know a school board member for a big school district in Houston. She is so frustrated with the paperwork required for compliance with the requirements to access any funds she could just shit - her phrase!

In two words: federal involvement.

And it isn't just the schools that have problems. Talk to any small businessman whose grown a small business from mom and pop with occasional help from the kids to 50 or 60 employees. You hit that fifth employee and depending on what your business involves you may well need to higher a sixth just to make sure you are in compliance with all the new federal rules and regulations that suddenly impact your business adn from their on every five to ten people you add until you hit fifty or so you are impacted by a whole new set of rules and regulations.

It isn't unusual for some business to have departments whose so purpose for existing is to make sure that they are incompliance with the various federal state and local rules and regulations that apply to their business.

Why can't we ask that the owners (shareholders) of the nuclear power plant be the people who work there and live in the area? And, of course, to "be careful!"

Stock is cheap. What if we buy up the corporations we work for and run them better?

[CrimsonWhite]

I chose leadership Industry, because I am an attorney. We are the world's leading supplier of jokes.

 

[garyd]

Yep pretty much the only people you can make the butt of jokes now are attorneys and rednecks.

I qualify as both. Let the jokes begin and I'll laugh all the way to the bank.

 

[Amanda]

I'm a customer service rep in the banking industry and I totally kick ass at it.

And for anyone that cares, I'm just killing time waiting for a ride because I am not going to be able to drive home tonight.

Yeah, nobody cares.
