Organizations Evolve continued ...
Reality says there is always another better opportunity. I have moved to 5 jobs in 8 years I have increased my salary by 5 times what is was a less than a decade ago. I am an individual and my skills are highly prized because they are not a commodity. I continue to expand and grow my skill by learning, reading and seeking other opportunities to improve. This is what a laze-faire economy is truly based upon, supply and demand. This is capitalism; these concepts have made the US a world power anda keystone of the global economic archway.

Do you truly believe you are not fortunate to be employed when thousands aren?t? Aren?t you blessed to be able to complain about your miserable position or the way you are exploited when there are others that would trade your insignificant inconveniences for your check? I truly believe you should love what you do. The day you wake up dreading going to work should be the day you start looking for other opportunities, be that flipping burgers or swabbing decks or even dealing crack on the corner if that is your preference. But never forget you are FREE to make that choice. In a Union shop you lose your choice it becomes a condition of employment even if you would choose not to join or support the espoused goals and ideals of that particular union.

I have spent time in many countries and served this one gladly to keep the ideals held in our Constitution. I choose to live in the land of the free because I have see many other options available and don?t like them much. Be glad for your job, your life and guard your freedoms as jealously as a lioness guards her cubs as there are jackals out there in the world that would deprive you of them. Never take your blessing for granted and neverwillingly give away your rights.

I know that may sound a bit like an NRA ad, but see as much of the world as I have and you would share my sentiments.
