Pretty much how it is most times isn't it. Those at the top can fuck up everything for the rest of the employees. It sucks that it's gotten this far. Theres no sense of community, of oneness any longer. Its all what 'I can get and fuck the rest' attitude. Why or how did this attitude gets so prevalent anyway?
