there have been some interesting societal shifts in the recent few years. Big corporations are still soul sucking monstrosities, but they on some level understand that keeping their employees happy is one of the keys to success. Working for fidelity sucked, it really makes you feel unimportant when you are a number and your boss doesn't have time to answer any question, ever.


However, they had free coffee stations everywhere, most managers had a cube with the rest of the team, MANY steps were taken to make the employees feel like people and to allow them time to have a life.

They failed miserably, but they tried, at least.


technology makes aspects of life easier, and if it can make them cheaper, then maybe we'll see a reversal of inflation.
