Hold on to your hats boys and girls. The week of the 19th is "Keeping their wet dream alive" Yea, you get a piece of stale cake and you get to sign your name on a worthless piece of poster board. When are they going to get the picture that no one cares about it, that this is only a job. It's their wet dream to find more and more ways to screw us. :rant:

There is no dream...

Like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park that appeared real...which were nothing more than the imagination of a cinematographer and a computer generated image...this yearly exercise is the same...just an image.

The "dream" died long ago...especially under the tutelage of the current 'leadership'.

It is little more than window dressing for the media...and Kool-Aid for those to willing to imbibe.

I'll pass...again!...

Call me nieve, call me gullable, call me stupid, call me Henry. I care about the company, I try to make a difference, I try to help out when I can. I do all of this in the name of large, steady paycheck and a future when I will no longer have to work anymore. WTF!!! give me some of that Kool-aid, pass the cake, and where is the black marker pen so I can sign the cheap plastic banner.

Are you saying Rat that it is just a wet moment instead of a dream? :smug: Have a glass of kool-aid :guiness: , enjoy the blue frosting :popcorn:, then get back to making a living. Take the celebration for what it is and enjoy a glass with friends. Then it is just getting back to work.

I don't remember how long it's been but I haven't signed in several years. I told our SCM that the whole thing has became a joke because the Palace no longer knows the meaning of Integrity , Honesty , Commitment and the other crap that's on the thing.Also why should we sign the thing when the Palace don't hold up their end. There are several of our drivers that won't sign it any longer.

Bottom line to the entire charade is the fact that neither party really thinks it matters anymore.

When you recall the events of the last several years and the attempts at dumbing down the rank and file, it is no real surprise the entire exercise is viewed with disgust and apprehension. I find the whole thing insulting. They think we are stupid. Or at least it appears that way. Constantly working on the next bend over and enhancement injection and as they smile and ask you if you want a piece of cake.

It is just another test of our endurance...and patience.

I am at a loss to understand why they bother. I can't believe they actually think this annual display has any real significance.

This needs to go and it would be one takeaway I would agree with wholeheartedly. The company has made it clear as to how they view their employees...and this 'celebration' doesn't fit.

It is tiring and insulting to be subjected to disingenuos displays promoting employee involvement when your involvement is neither wanted nor appreciated...their only desire is blind and absolute obedience.

I rate this farce right along side of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Great Pumkin....none of which exist...

Neither does the 'dream'...
