After reviewing my work experience, I have to say that I have an over abundance of dislikes of the corporate world.
The first thing off the top of my head has to be the pay. Granted, they may start you out with a very promising wage, but $#@% if you ever expect to receive an increase comparable to your time invested in the company.
Many times the corporate structure is structured into sub-divisions and departments. Although some of these different departments may perform similar tasks, they very rarely, if ever, communicate with one another. This results in wasted time and resources only to end up with an un-standardized process.
Another “odd practice” of most companies is to install supervisors who have never worked a day in the department they are supervising over. For some reason, I find it disheartening to have to train the person who has been designated to provide me with direction. This type of practice leads to directives and procedures sent down to be implemented that have no bearing on the current processes.
I guess the one positive thing that I can say about being surrounded with this level of incompetence is that it just makes me look all that much better.
