Work, ethics and blues

Yep, it turns out I just dont get it. All of the above. You work for a company, and the only thing you hear is morals and ethics. The solid 'partnership', the undying camaraderie, the oneness, the family....but its all a load of bullshit. The things Ive sen, and experienced, come on guys, who do you think you are kidding here? And thats what gets me. A certain incident last week, involving a a work colleague, and being sworn at by a total asshole. Now the colleagues wife, works in HR, for the bank, and her advice? Leave it be, this individual has friends in high places, this wont end well. Ok, cant argue that, sound advice. What gets me is, does that make it right? Does that make it ok? That we actually still live in an archaic system? You cant say anything, or do anything because those that are in power, will squash you. Plain and simple. So....wheres the change that everyones been talking about then? I may as well be harvesting fucking pumpkins from a field for the kings ball. The only thing thats changed, is the title. Its no longer king, its director, and I used small letters on purpose for that. Jokes aside, thats what botehrs me. Theres still a whole culture of us and them. And im not even going in to race issues here, im talking strictly bussiness ethics and what they actually mean. And again, thats what they mean: nothing. Its all about the money, its all about the bottom line, its all about lying to your face about values that dont exsist. And at the end of the day (therapy calls) what does that say about me? Who does that make me and how do I feel? I reckon its safe to say, pretty pissed off covers all of that. Who does it make me? A person who is disillusioned by all this. Wary of all the games played in the name of good image. lets face it, tow the line or be cast aside and jobless, because you didnt uphold the 'image'. its so sad, and with such bitterness I have to admit that everything I was taught, was a lie. There is no virtue, there is no honor, there is no be a better person i guess. All of those things dont fit in with the corporate image. Its ok to treat ppl like shit, as long as you have friends in the right places to back you up. Those are the morals and values of now, of where I am.
