My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Automotive Industry = Dog-Eat-Dog The automotive industry is a dog-eat-dog world. It's the only industry in the world, IMHO, that you can do your best, put in 80 hrs/week, get home at 2am on some nights, bust your ass, make intelligent decisions, practice customer-obsession, and still get blamed for f$#%-ups that aren't even your problem. Witch-hunts, fall-guys and scapegoats are the name of the game in my industry. It's definitely a good ol' boys club. It's not what you know or how well you do it... it's who you know. My problem is that I don't have an uncle in the automotive business, and everything I achieved, I achieved on my own. And because of this, I am proud. My reputation speaks for itself. I have no idea what it means to get a lucky break. I work in a bureaucratic workplace where it doesn't matter if you make the best possible decisions for the company or your customer. It's a dog-eat-dog world where I work. Let's see what the following week yields. The ONLY thing I have going for me is my reputation. posted by Dino at 9:13 PM (permanent link) |
