one more time..........with feeeeeeeeeeling........

AUGHHHHHHHH!!!!! i cannot stand this anymore!!! i cannot stand seeing one more employer stating that if i wish to work for him or her i must subject myself to background checks, credit checks, drug screens, must provide proof that i possess every single skill they are seeking. cheezits wipes I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE!
i still remember the days before big brother stepped in and allowed employers to take away the rights of employees and potential employees............back when a resume, a reference or two, a smile and a handshake were the only requirements for landing a job. i "proved" myself once i was hired and actually did the work.
this has gotten out of control. utterly out of control. employers are taking advantage of today's all too often desperate job seeker. this has to stop now. NOW. we need a government that begins to work for WE THE PEOPLE again. we need to take some of those rights employers have been granted and return them back to the worker. workplace democracy now. NOW.
it truly and utterly blows my mind and weighs heavy on my heart there are so many who continue to support the rugged individualism and capitalist concepts. i don't get it. isn't there anyone out there who wants to see an environment where the happiness and well being of the people are the most important values???? we may wish to think we're each in our own little boat (or huge yacht depending upon who you ask) and while that concept may be able to sustain itself for awhile, eventually the boat will sink. until we realize that we are truly ALL IN THE SAME BOAT TOGETHER, the disconnect, the abuse, will continue on as "the way things are".
i don't know about you, but i am looking for another boat someplace else, although i realize that is just a temporary escape...........albeit a temporary escape i am hoping will carry myself and my family for the remainder of our years here on this planet. i am simply worn out from the boat we have created in this neck of the woods.......
