Why Are You Ranking: Best Reasons to Appreciate Big Business Listed From Lowly Laborer to Top Executive
People complain about the working conditions of employers like Walmart and Amazon. As if the work that they fulfill is drudgery where they are trudging through puddles of mud or carrying heavy sacks on their back over football field lengths. Complainers about the working areas of these corporations lament the fact that they have to clock in on Monday, get over the hump on Wednesday, and celebrate Friday as a means of degrading their labor but elevating the result of that work, their direct deposit. They’ll say that the staff are like Draconian rulers “coercing” them into performing task after task. But what is the truth? Are employees strapped to machines and whipped into producing more? Are they throttled and unable to break free of a signed contract that they made with a given corporation? The problem that persists is that most folks don’t realize that multi-billion dollar companies and small businesses alike have one firm rule in the United States: free will. A worker has every right to quit, retire, resign, or just walk away from a position. The same is true for people who like working at hugely successful companies and have the right to enjoy their labor, continue to work at a position, and advance up the ranks of a given industry. And every company has the right to downsize and “let go” workers to satisfy the bottom line. Those workers may grumble, complain, or far worse commit acts of violence or take their own lives. These are vicious cases and only in extreme situations do these acts occur. For the most part, people love and find enjoyment in going to work. Those who do not relish work find themselves in self-pity and in a position to bring down the spirits of those around them. But that is different with others. Their productiveness is evident with every action that they take during the course of their day (or night). While some will scoff at the fact that the people behind massive corporations reap gargantuan fiscal benefits, they drop the idea that the individuals at these companies have earned their money and should not be ridiculed for their virtues. So get your price guns and balance sheets for Why Are You Ranking: Best Reasons to Appreciate Big Business Listed From Lowly Laborer to Top Executive.

Life as a Movie Extra. Top Story - August 2018.
Even though I've bored a lot of my friends to death with this subject, there are still people in the world that do not know I'm an occasional film extra. It's unusual, especially in a quiet, stuck-in-the-past town like mine, but it does bring about some great conversations.
