Retirement on the Job
DonPark writes about his reading of the ChaordicCommons by DeeHock.
"We made a firm decision. Ferol would obtain her degree and take a teaching job helping children with speech and hearing impairments. I would make no more effort to climb the corporate ladder. I would make no more intense commitment to work. Instead, I would join the crowd and take up what may be the most common career in modern organizations: "retirement on the job". My victim would be one of the local banks where a modest living could be had at the cost of a pleasant demeanor, conformity, and fractional ability or effort. There would be no cheating. A creditable job would be done. But they wolud get no great bargain."

Teresa and I were just watching Mr. Personality (ugg) and soaking in it's shallow depths. It occurred to us that they should do a Miss Personality where all the contenders wear robot style boxes around their body, or better yet, sumo suits! Now that would be entertainment.
