I work with top executives of a Fortune 500 company on a daily basis. I plan their events, create menus for their diplomatic dinners, and deal with their general ridiculous requests.
I always thought that the closer one got to the top, the more things would start to make sense. The goals of an organization would become clear, the intentions would be for the global good of the enterprise, and the meetings would be about real policies and change.
How wrong I was.
I now realize that the intentions are almost always selfish, the meetings are mostly politics and very little policy, and the goals remain to keep the corner office no matter the cost. In fact, I think the executary title actually makes them stupider. Because they have hired folks to do nearly every menial task for them, they have reverted back to childlike helplessness.
Trust me, we all work for four year olds.
We all need to work for people we can believe in. And unfortunately, my faith in the higher ups of this company has run out. It's time for a new adventure in a place that fosters creativity, productivity, and inspired work.
It's time for a new plan of action...
Who's hiring?
