Interesting how the hidden agendas so rarely come out.

My Org Com class is an undergraduate class, and hopefully they are learning enough so when they do get their first corporate job, they can navigate some of these very same agendas, as they are ported with us wherever we go.

I seem to recall that the corporate world did serve you very well for a number of years. Very well in fact. I do agree with you that it can become hollow with nothing like the feeling of emptiness after working 18 hours for something that sees employees as usable resources, or even worse, as human capital. As Wikipedia begins its dehumanized definition: “Human capital refers to the stock of productive skills and technical knowledge embodied in labor.”

BTW, have you seen the three (not one, and not two, but three!) Ralph Lauren stores on Bleecker Street . . .
