I presume the recent recession has
tarnished whatever gloss these pieces of
papers used to have to most people. 
I guess the height of my cynicism was
reached in a recent job when I was 
awarded more stock options out of the
blue, two days before I was laid off. 

One day before I was laid off, the CTO 
gave a little speech about how 
nothing too radical was planned to cut 
costs, which means I also allow myself
a wry smile when I hear words like 
"company loyalty".

I'm considered right-wing to a lot of
my friends (fiscally, not socially), but
after reading a lot of the mail in the
last few days, I feel like a Marxist. 

Comrade Paul.
