[QUOTE="NoBrownForMe, post: 74366, member: 4628"] [b]I ony saw what I saw[/b] I can't answer for anyone's experience but my own. Let me repeat that: I CAN'T ANSWER FOR ANYONE'S EXPERIENCE BUT MY OWN. Billions of $$$$ in earnings piled on your backs, bones and lives. Think about it. I guess everybody wants to feel like they are a part of something and will adjust his point of view accordingly to do that. The psychological term for it is "cognitive dissonance." According to cognitive dissonance theory, there is a tendency for individuals to seek consistency among their cognitions (i.e., beliefs, opinions). When there is an inconsistency between attitudes or behaviors (dissonance), something must change to eliminate the dissonance. In the case of a discrepancy between attitudes and behavior, or between perceived realities and realities that exist, it is most likely that the attitude will change to accommodate the behavior or situation. I have a lot of respect for ALL OF YOU who work at UPS. I know a ****ty job when I see one. Been there, done that, without having to go there and try it, thanks. How someone is treated at the outset is a HUGE measure of how it is to work at a place. Often, over time, people become aculturated to dysfunctional situations, even good people. After a while, being abused is normal. Ask the spouse who's being emotionally abused why they stay with the abuser, the situation is very similar. Like I said, God bless all those who are stuck, afraid to make the change. Wily, you still haven't told me how it was 25 years ago. Better? Worse? The same? Or is your mind gone or are the medications blurring your perceptions of reality? YOU'VE BEEN ASSIMILATED. I'm not bitter, just not willing to go back to the corporate drone world and give up my freedom of thought and movement and action. We make our own prisons. "IT DOESN'T HURT IF YOUR MEDICATIONS ARE WORKING":lol: Cheers and Merry Frikking Christmas to you too. (We can say 'Christmas' out here in free society.) [/QUOTE]
