I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
There are companies where the HR Person has been reduced to a regional role.
Now we don’t have to worry about Flavio, in his office upstairs, watching the cameras; we have Demetria, who visits once a month and smells like a Chanel fragrance they haven’t made in a decade.
She visits. She watches. She makes notes.
She watches. People disappear.
Demetria is very concise when she describes when you are no longer an asset.
Demetria has other things to do, and you are getting in the way.
Demetria sounds like she wears a short skirt, and a long jacket.
