The End of a Chapter

Common sense, morality, compassion...these are things that come naturally to most people, probably to all people at some point or another. When you add power and money to the mix, these three aspects of our human nature go right out the window. That is my own observation. Occasionally you get a Bill Gates or a Barrack Obama, and they have a way of maintaining those aspects, but mostly money and power seem to drive the good out of people and pull the evil in. I work for a corporation, I must remember that. I used to think of it as a company, a family that provided a nice retirement community for people who were able to afford it. Things have changed. If I believed in the Antichrist, I would believe that he was hired as our new GM. Money is the number one issue...how to make more money! Employees, residents, family, nope. Money. This new GM is so pathetic and generic. At our first team meeting, he compared what we do to Disneyland. No joke. Cause moving out of your house of 40 years where you raised your kids and lived with your spouse who is now gone and moving into a studio apartment is just like going to Disneyland?! I'm pretty sure this man went to business school. I'm pretty sure he attended a motivational speaker event at some point, probably sponsored by walmart, and just blurted it out to us, recycled drivel as far as I'm concerned. I would like to stay and take care of my old people, but I'm afraid that this chapter of my life is about to end, and a new one is about to begin. I'll find a way to still be a part of their lives, but I can't do it this way. Not with this corporate zombie constantly looking to see why he's paying me. Nope. It's time to go.
