[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 999685, member: 22880"] Well, how else could one describe a situation where an employee is told by their employer: "You'll go far here"... "You are fairly compensated for the work you do"... "You can be assured that you will have a career for as long as you want"... "You are valued by the company you work for"... "You are valued above potential profits by this company"... "Your management will treat you with respect"... Some may call a "bad gig", as doing something extremely unpleasant. I call a bad gig a situation where one is doing something with one set of "reality", and the company one is working for is constantly trying to tell you something completely different - as if what you are experiencing is some form of personal delusion. If I'm to shovel horse manure (and am told, you are going to shovel horse manure), then I'm fine with that - it is what it is. But when I was being told about rainbow spotted unicorns - and all I saw, smelled and heard was horse manure being produced - then there is an issue. I call it a "bad gig" or a severe case of psychotic delusion. [/QUOTE]
