perspective

My newest work!neighbor and I get to talking, sometimes — we both worked in retail before, but for me this job is for the biggest company I’ve ever worked for, and for her it’s the smallest.

It gives us an interestingly different perspective on the current workplace frustration, which is essentially: “gosh, that would have been useful to know; if only someone had told me, or the information was available in some sort of accessible format!”

Me: “Well, at least no one else knew either.”

Coworker: “But doesn’t it bother you that NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY’RE DOING?”

I mean, it kind of does? In an abstract, idealist sort of way, I think it would be nice to work at a company where we all knew what we were doing. But my suspicion is that a reality such as that would have its own problems, and right now I’m still at the point where every day is just overlaid with this huge sense of relief that it’s not my fault and I’m not going to be held responsible for fixing everything and no one comes to complain to me that someone else moved their food in the fridge.

IN SUMMARY: What would I blog about on Tuesdays if I didn’t have work?
