Some may think that "socialism" is purely the redistribution of incomes through taxation of the welfare state. At CS-West, however, "socialism" is the redistribution of work & positive results from the less powerful to the managerial elite. Through your bondage and misery, the sinister forces of CS-West management hold you down while trumpeting your work as their own. Their bonuses depend on your work ethic and complete adherence to their structure of control. Socialism is slavery. And you, my devoted fellow employee, are the serf. The Operation Directors smile and "glad-hand" at their meetings, parading your results through the VP circles as if they (themselves) manned the test, manufacturing, OPM, or engineering ranks. Most of them are appointees and devotees of dispassionate, lazy leaders like the departed Mr. Allen and Mr. Hall, or the seemingly inextirpable Mr. Eiting. While the Colonel Halls are gone, their devotees remain. While the standards these managers, directors, and VPs are held to are undoubtedly low, the standards you are held to are impossibly high. You are the over-regulated, over-scrutinized, over-worked pulp accumulating on the sides of a very old blender. All that matters to the managerial elite is the taste of the juice - the ingredients (you, my friends) are a means to an end. Why do you not struggle more? Why do you not seek to change the status quo? How long will you serve your masters?

No meritocracy
I found a new job already. Best thing I've ever done
Started looking for a new job last week for this very same reason. Won't ever get a fair look unless I kowtow to the management clique. These are the same people that went to the University of Phoenix and U Exec MBA program together. They might as well be Skull and Bones. They're arranging their alliances and promoting the undeserved based on loyalty. it's a joke here. No one works. No one cares. No meritocracy
Well said. We used to arrest communists at defense companies. Now, they're called "management".
Quite simply, the greatest writer on this forum. Guy Fuwkes is always fuwking awe-struck by Mr. Karl Hayek's verse.
Well done, Hayek... just as incomprehensible as Marx.
