I read somewhere that google has hired an AI bot to write AI bots for it. Pretty soon the AI army will know all about how to analyze language to identify depressed/suicidal people, and google will refer such people to Amazon to work in their fulfillment centers.
These people would fit right in too.
All hail our robot/corporate overlords. As I understand it, one day google will acquire dictonary.com and redefine the word, “evil,” to better fit their slogan.
If corporate employment were the only kind left I would be six feet under. Been there, done that for decades. It wass a strange kind of mental and monetary trap.
lol, rivits, ’57, hope y’all are around tonight as I see my post is buried. I suppose it’s a helpful how little free time I have but you, you are my people. 100 percent on board with the above comments
The last two corporations I worked for just kept on demanding we take on more and more responsibilities amid ever increasing clerical duties and the like. I quit one company but within a few years could not resist the lure of another one, but two years into the next one I realized I was right the first time. I have been asshole free for almost three years now and that is the way it will be.

1, I hope you’re not totally asshole free, haha
But for real, #2. Might I ask how you pull that off, asshole freedom?
My wife wanted to get asshole freedom too. So I went work for her in her newly started internet business. Neither of us had much business sense so it took several years to get it where it needed to be while we still worked with, and often for, assholes.
After some years in business, we quit our corporate jobs. Now no assholes to deal with except the occasional cranky internet customer, so for us that is asshole free.
I do keep a part time technical assistance job to get out of the house and a wee bit of economic security as well. There I am working for people I love (family). My coworkers are topnotch humans. No assholes.
