A Dream for American Workplaces

mlk.jpgStuck at work on Martin Luther King Jr. Day?  Yeah, we are too.  But that doesn't stop us from honoring Dr. King by dreaming out loud:

We have a dream...

That companies pay you what you're worth.  Pay is based on your experience, accomplishments and ability to perform in the future.

We have a dream...

That America's vacation day standard increases (Brazil = 30, Finland = 35, Russia = 28, etc.).

We have a dream...

That passive-aggressive behavior is abandoned and if someone has something to say to our faces - they say it!

We have a dream...

That everyone gets an hour for lunch and that everyone TAKES their hour for lunch.

We have a dream...

That more industries adapt the education system work model; either give the summer off or six weeks on, two weeks off.

We have a dream...

That the work week shrinks to four days.  We guarantee that everything would still get done.

We have a dream...

That stinky foods are banned from the office.

We have a dream...

That employers realize only .01% of the population is grateful for a 3% raise.

We have a dream...

That people would be quiet in elevators.

We have a dream...

That people would check their emotions at the door and just do their jobs.

We have a dream...

That no one would ever invade our personal space, knock on our cubicle walls as if there were actually a door, or stare  at our computer monitors to see what we're up to.

What's your work dream?

Out of all of my friends, I'm the only one who had to hop on the bus and head to work today. Bummer.
