An epiphany arising not long after Post Subcon-ment.
Today saw the first official Operations Meeting. The Ramblings began with a breakdown of each of our seperate roles in The Company. Not that it really mattered much since it was later mentioned that we're really only 60 percent of our "department." I'm not quite sure what that means-- logically the other 40 percent would constitute my fellow Cellmates, who were in their own departments, which means I'm also part of the 40 percent of their departments.

So what I think it boils down to: We're ALL gonna be a mesh of each other's roles, defeating the original idea of having specific roles in the first place.
After more brainwashing delusional grandeur ideas of leadership, mentoring (poor lowly paid) individuals and industry recognition, the dreaded three-letter word was released upon us-- KPI. Vague quantitative, qualitative and profit margin goals to be met by the end of each quarter, as written by ourselves (with The Dictator) and then signed by ourselves. Supposedly, it's to set an external push factor, as if our own internal drives didn't contain enough passion for the work we did. Personally, I dislike any signed document; it could too easily be used as a double-edged sword for those who are experienced in wielding it.
It's been a long time since my BS alarm went off so many times.
