Obviously if you actually like your job, then this article isn’t directed at you. Unfortunately, most people don’t like their jobs.

Post a link. One of the prime rules of networking is that the easier you make it for people to do what you want (in this case, buy your art) the more likely they are to actually do it. Nobody is going to google your webpage. But if you provide a link, some might check it out just out of curiosity.

What if you actually like your job? The stuff I do for a living is actually pretty cool and is definitely not going to be outsourced anytime soon.

I have to break free! Working like crazy for these piece-of-shit managers, day after day walking past their Porsches on the car park, while they say they’re a super company because they have this scheme where they lease bicycles to their employees. Of course, because their engineers, after years doing Master’s and PhD’s and years collecting industry experience get paid less than the wankers in PR and HR that have at most a BA. Because the wages are so low that their 35-year-old fully qualified professionals have to live in shared houses like students, and they say that the wages are low but that we should cherish the shares. And when every year the value of the shares plummets once again, all they’ve got to say’s: “Don’t worry. Those people in the City have no idea. What do we care if our shares are worth less than toilet paper? We’re selling our stuff like crazy?” Of course, why would Sir CEO care? He’s rich, he can afford private healthcare and can brag at the Xmas party that he gets invited to dine with the PM and the Queen, while his engineers work unpaid overtime. I’M GONNA HAFTA KILL MYSELF TO BREAK FREE! Because I was not born rich and all I’ve got to offer is my PhD and my more than 50 publications in science journals, and the university didn’t want to have me because that’s another place that doesn’t value talent and hard work! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!

If it weren’t for the nature of the underlying premise of this article, I would tear it a new one. Wow dude, you really need to stop smoking the socialist anti-industrial whacky weed. But at least you have the right conclusion even if your premises are overly burdened with corpo-hate: If you don’t like your situation, improve it.
You almost get there many times – such as when you say in regards to the ‘dead weight’ jobs, that ‘maybe they were never needed’. Yet if they were dead weight jobs and never needed in the first place, then why is it evil when corporate heads finally are able to get rid of them – bad economy or not?
You have the article full of many slave-like images, I assume implying that workers are slaves. Yet your attitude in regards to the corporations is that they should be slaves to us as an alternative – they should provide jobs that ‘might not even be needed’ just to support a desire of the employees to pursue a ‘middle class’ lifestyle that they’ve been convinced is something they should want.

Pick one, either slavery is bad or it is not. Transferring it doesn’t make it better.

But alas, as I already conceded, you came to the right conclusion – if you don’t like your own condition, you have the power to change it. If you don’t like corporations, you have the power to be your own boss, to quit, to change jobs, etc.

I used to sit in for the director of my department at a very large medical facility when she could not make it on rare occasion to the weekly meeting with the CEO and all the other corporate-level management people who’d been in the company for years. I was shocked to experience the unprofessional cursing and yelling at people when things did not sit well with this CEO (an ex-military guy). As time went on I saw that this behavior was par for the course during these meetings and did not understand why in the world these intelligent, accomplished people stood for this behavior in front of their colleagues. Most of these individuals were decent people. Perhaps I am naive and this goes on more than I was aware, but NO paycheck is worth any of that.

I’ve experienced hating jobs and feeling chained to them (the big signal for me was pulling the car into the parking lot and dreading getting out of the car). I am in a place now where I am working for myself part-time and have great flexibility with my other p/t paycheck job. It is a great place to be. I will def print this article for my son (3 years old now).

This really doesn’t hold true for a LOT of jobs. I’m sorry to be blunt but this article makes incredibly vague generalizations about all forms of work. Also, to describe Entre/intra-preneurship as the be-all-end-all savior for “middle-class” employees is overly simplistic
