Bureaucrat Jarvis Middleton

Schrodinger's cat swallowed the red pill as Heisenberg built the "tilted pendulum" that helped HR to invent, promulgate, and defend "unprovable likely" workplace inequities and "Slim Crow" discrimination. Let's be clear. Employment is an illusory promise as long as Midas makes the rules regarding race, age, gender, or religion in the "any reason or no reason" hiring and firing environment. So, what does it all mean to the aspiring bureaucrat or the middle manager struggling to evolve the industry zeitgeist, ... and make a living?Is the promised reward for working hard, ethically, and creatively realistic in today's public or private work environment? Did business schools teach us about career survival, reformers, weaponized management, backstabbers, whistleblowers, the machine, headhunters, the crowners, and the RDM (remote decision-makers)? Is the anticipation of being hired or promoted rational in the cognitive dissonance ambiguity of fair play as we begrudgingly accept that "greed is good"? Can a political or unjust career stumble be overcome in a vindictive environment?Follow the ragged journey as we explore and examine the experiences and outcomes of the battles of Sisyphean warriors on the front line of the war for our collective bureaucratic or business sole. Be prepared to forever gaspingly claw at the walls of the rabbit hole .., or just take the blue pill and blithely dismiss this effort as just another sour grapes conspiracy theory. Read this and be woke or don't and continue to claim to never have been told.
