A Dream for American Workplaces

by Werdna Yug Leave a Comment

A Dream for American Workplaces

mlk.jpgStuck at work on Martin Luther King Jr. Day?  Yeah, we are too.  But that doesn’t stop us from honoring Dr. King by dreaming out loud:

We have a dream…

That companies pay you what you’re worth.  Pay is based on your experience, accomplishments and ability to perform in the future.

We have a dream…

That America’s vacation day standard increases (Brazil = 30, Finland = 35, Russia = 28, etc.).

We have a dream…

That passive-aggressive behavior is abandoned and if someone has something to say to our faces – they say it!

We have a dream…

That everyone gets an hour for lunch and that everyone TAKES their hour for lunch.

We have a dream…

That more industries adapt the education system work model; either give the summer off or six weeks on, two weeks off.

We have a dream…

That the work week shrinks to four days.  We guarantee that everything would still get done.

We have a dream…

That stinky foods are banned from the office.

We have a dream…

That employers realize only .01% of the population is grateful for a 3% raise.

We have a dream…

That people would be quiet in elevators.

We have a dream…

That people would check their emotions at the door and just do their jobs.

We have a dream…

That no one would ever invade our personal space, knock on our cubicle walls as if there were actually a door, or stare  at our computer monitors to see what we’re up to.

What’s your work dream?
