Corporate Cattle

I've begun to look at my life in a different light. Is this it? Is this all there is? The same routine day after day. Wake up, eat breakfast, get ready for work, drive to work, work, drive home, make dinner, watch TV, go to bed, rinse, and repeat.

At work we trod minute after minute through the drudgery of corporate compliance. Every few months we're herded into corporate boardrooms like cattle to mindlessly stare at slide after slide of propaganda, pausing occasionally to applaud like sheep the fact that the board of directors made millions of more dollars off our backs. Like a bunch of corporate lackeys we are utterly dillusional and completely ignorant of reality. The reality that our only purpose is to get the CEO another beach house.

I don't know what's worse, the reality, or the fact that so many people simply accept it.

Surely, there must be more.
