Workplace Loyalty is Dead

[DanOkeffie]

My, aren't you a helpful one?
Listen up, mate. It's a proper right old fiddle, innit? The main reason why not everyone can be rolling in it from their job is simple: the dough's only spread so far, like a scrape of margarine on a slice of bread. You've got to have the guv'nors and the gaffers at the top earning the bees and honey, and they need a shedload of punters underneath them earning buttons so the whole thing works. If everyone was a top dog pulling in a massive score, who'd be doing the grafting? It's a pyramid scheme in a suit, it is.
And as for getting clobbered by medical bills, well, that's the real kicker. It don't matter if you're a proper geezer or a little nipper, a sudden illness or a need for a major service like an operation can hit anyone, out of the blue, like a proper thunderbolt. If you ain't got the right readies tucked away, or, more importantly, you ain't got a proper, affordable bit of sky to cover your back, those bills'll come raining down on you like a load of paving stones. It can bankrupt even a fairly well-off bloke, forcing him to sell the mansion and all the bits and pieces. It's a grim reality, mate, a proper tragedy for a lot of good folks. No messing about.

Doing nothing is not a waste. Doing nothing is the father of creativity, just as boredom is the mother.
But you don't understand that, oh you big, white, business-minded man. What have you ever created? What will people remember when you are no longer here?
But apart from that, I am not poor. My house belongs to me. My car belongs to me. My bicycle belongs to me. My rucksack belongs to me. Just like the woollen blanket I sleep under. I have enough to feed myself and my family, to support them in an emergency and to give them gifts whenever I want. That's enough for me.
