Job Woes Got Me Down

Things are hard in America these days, hell hard times have hit most countries - other than Germany.  Unemployment is at an all time high, very qualified and capable people have been looking for work for years.  Which makes the disfunction that I see daily at my company all the more nauseating.

I know...I know...I should be grateful that I have a job.  The fact of the matter is that I didn't for 6 months.  The company that I work for laid me off about 2 years ago due to cut backs.  They hired me back 6 months later at a lesser position with lower pay.  And yes, at the time of my rehire, I was happy to have a job.  The issue is that the poor management that put a company of  300 employees in the position where 75+ employees had to be laid off is still in power and more incompetent than ever.

I'm starting this blog to try to bring humor to a situation that is causing me a great deal of anxiety.  Laughter is therapeutic, right?  Please, please, please share your crazy management stories, those corporate memos that make you cringe, poorly thought out HR regulations or stories about your ever decreasing benefits.  If it's absurd and company focused, I want to hear about it.
