Korporate Kool-Aid. How many of you sip it? How many of you chug it? Is this really the occupation we were studying for during college? Many of you know what I am talking about, the selected few that do not are probably absorbed by the Martini Happy Hours and the endless days of kissing your DB supervisor’s ass. What happened to free thinking and being able to voice your opinion to further your company? Why are good ideas filed away and looked at only after the employee goes postal? This is good if you are trying to get by in life and collect a regular paycheck, which I was a couple years ago. Sometimes, you just get burned out and you want to go into hiding and perform a job the normal monkey with training can do [I believe this is actually the majority of jobs]. Do you really need to go to four years of college to sort a spreadsheet?
There are huge differences between a big and small company. Want to shine? Want people to notice you? Join a startup. Want to watch YouTube for 4 hours a day? Want to meet about a meeting about another meeting? Want to tread in red tape for days to get your request for a product enhancement approved? Join a big corporation.
Small fishes get in lost in the mix of things when the pond becomes too big, this is the feeling I received from eBay as time progressed. In the beginning I would be able to get things fixed and problems resolved by a simple phone call to my Power Seller rep, but as time progressed I noticed that I was not getting the same service I was before and now my rep would not be able to help me with any issues, but instead give me the standard run around template pdf answer they sat in training to give. I never would wish harm or negativity upon anyone, but with the number of Power Sellers dropping off of eBay, how many of those 1500 being let go will be customer service reps?
