Corporate Mantra

Original posting, September 2006

Toeing the line. Saying the 'corporate' mantra (slogan or phrase often repeated). Believing your own self-delusion. Reality built on delusion. It's how some people seem to 'get on'. They are so reliable. Can be counted on to always say the 'right' thing. Those concepts that everybody else knows are wrong. But people 'in charge' subvert through fear. Holding back careers until you 'think correctly' in that expected way. Sell your soul. To whom? Usually the paymaster. Hostage to the filthy lucre. Nearly always works. And they wonder why there is so much hostility. So much resentment. So much distrust even loathing. So much conflict.

The people who cause the problem would be the last to know.

They are totally incapable of seeing that they are the problem
