“Corporate Communications” wasn’t even a thing until the 1990s. It sure sounds better than “Dissent and Disgruntlement Suppression.”
Is it too much to find a place to work that doesn’t generate cynicism and does generate joy? I had 4 assignments on active duty that brought me JOY. I was a valued team member making adequate pay with excellent benefits in well led high performing organizations doing important work. That was all I needed. Why is that so hard to find?
My mileage since that last assignment has been varied.
It's so true isn't it. I had some of those kinds of assignments in my USAF time as well, and even a couple years at Amazon with a particular team got close to it. But the mk1 enjoyable job is becoming the unicorn of the modern job market. These days it's as if companies are intent on pissing off workers as much as they can. Tech firms have become some of the worst.
