The Ant

Dear reader,

Over the last half a year to a year the world economics are changing drastically. Since the banking sector almost collapsed in September/October last year, also the real economic is affected a lot. Consumption is decreasing, people and cooperation are going bankrupt, administrations are trying to put a lot of tax money into the economy.
But also on a micro level, your and my household and our work, things are changing. I have already 9 (out of 70 employees in total on this site) colleagues laid off. And more to come, I fear. Since the company I work for is internationally established and this site is quite remote, also higher management is trying to strengthen control and discipline.
In bad times this is quite a normal, almost Pavlov, reaction. And in the view of the employees we suffer from the control, questions, new templates, planning tools, reorganization and so forth. By coincidence I came across one of these many Power Point presentation, which people send around to each other. And I like to share this with you, so please take 2 minutes and watch the movie I made out of it:



This is the way I feel and let me tell you, it's not a nice feeling and I hope it will end soon.

Have a nice day, Oculus
