An unfortunate State of Business

Here is my post:
“There are some of us…maybe old school maybe just different, that don’t see money as this treasure on top of a platform that we have to scratch and claw our way to get. Many people act as if they have to be the first or quickest to the top or there will not be enough for them, but in reality there is plenty to be had by everyone. Call it honor, call it integrity, or call it a moral code…but unfortunately many people throw it out the window when money is at stake. I find this state of things very disappointing and disheartening. However, it isn’t new as it has been going on since there has been wealth. Some times you can see it coming, but most of the time you cannot.
With the 9-5 mentality I don’t see a change in the forseable future. It isn’t in the best interest of the employers (in their minds) to empower employees and they would rather spend money to chain them to a cubicle than have them innovate enough to jump ship or pass them by. One thing I have learned on my journey is that unfortunately, we have to help ourselves first. If we help others in the process, we are likely to be let down or sabotaged. Once you help yourself you can then use your own example as a means to help others.”
