Life is Like That?

Top ten hints that you're probably working for a huge multinational corporation:
  • The only software working on your station is practically the e-mail client.
  • Regardless of your vast experience in the company, you are still lost in the terminology.
  • You are supposed to speak up even though you don't have any important things say.
  • Fellow employees talk to each other and socialize only to show that you have some people skills, even though you don't really care about the other party.
  • In technical seminars, attendees are desperate to be visible by looking at loopholes like lawyears and asking unnecessary questions during the session.
  • Top managers really know how to bore people to death during one of his wall-of-text PowerPoint presentations.
  • Engineers spend more time pusing papers and coording meeting than doing the actual work of troubleshooting and repairing machines and facilities.
  • Trying to look busy is one of the skills acquired over time and one knows well enough that the others are doing the same thing.
  • You notice that your colleague speaks as fast as possible in an attempt to look knowledgeable though he doesn't actually understand himself some times.
  • To do one simple task, you have to go through three senior employees, two group supervisors, two secretaries, several controllers, a team of audit, and one top management personnel. The task was to find out if it was necessary to go through all the steps you just did.
