This and that

Sitting here at work, bored out my skull, waiting for work, and i wonder to myself, how much time is being wasted. I need to get something to do. Why is it that we as employees always need to take the initiative to generate work for ourselves?? Did I employ myself? Surely i was employed for a reason! This infuriates me, how someone can sit here some days and not be busy, there isnt even anything that i can pick up and carry on with. Ofcourse there are pro's and con's to all jobs, but i would prefer to be so busy that i cant distinguish my ear from my asshole, but that is a reality i dont have. And the question needs to be, WHY? Why dont i have that reality, if a job is created, then surely there is work to keep that job alive.

That is why i will never understand jobs becoming redundant and people being retrenched. Why do you employ people to just "fire" them in a nice way. Yes you get Business Process Re-engineering, maybe your company was sold, but what just gets to me is how people are so easily retrenched or their jobs are made redundant. Its not as if they were sitting at home and waiting eagerly for a job to come up, they left a job seeking greener pastures, more like redundant pastures if you ask me.

And explain why bosses seem to have favourites, you'll find one person fighting and another just sitting and reaping all benefits, there surely must be some reward for the black sheep? And why is it so easy for people making thousands, and i mean thousands of rands to just exploit their workers, and by exploit i do mean, such bad money. Isnt IT supposed to be an industry of money, certainly it should be, looking at other job offers, the money looks good, so how can such a reputable company then be exploiting their workers?

Just a few thoughts, i think we all have work issues. And another issue, why is it so easy for companies not to pay benefits!!! That is shocking isnt it!
