This article is not thought through, leaving intelligent discourse much to be desired. Let me tell you why I, as a gen x, loathe & despise corporate culture. 1. It's intrusive on my life as a human being. 2. All the wonderful things that make humans unique and interesting are perceived by Corporate Culture as a wrinkle that needs ironing out. 3. Corporate culture views humans as Consumers, not people, Demographics, not individuals. 4. Corporate culture doesn't have Employees, it has Marketable Products of which people are one. 5. Corporate culture has in a very large way contributed to the dehumanizing of society. 6. Corporate culture is the largest contributer of the ever growing gulf between the have's and have nots. 7. Corporate culture has over-regulated industries with mindless standards without purpose. 8. Corporate culture harasses humans because of it's consumers mentality. 9. Corporate culture is about the isolating of people by stamping out their passion for life by forcing a dark monotone, monochrome superficiality over everything it touches leaving people searching for meaning in their lives. We now have record numbers of people suffering anxiety, panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, fatigue and the list goes on and on. This is not normal. It is not necessary. It has been created. 10. It offends my sense of integrity, authenticity and common human decency. Corporate cultures days are numbered because it is of a Capitalist mindset, rather than of a societal mindset (note 'societal', not 'socialist'. They have very different meanings.) We are all human being first and corporate culture is not recognizing this intrinsic fact. Nothing that denies our true essence can last long.
