I want to talk about workplace brainwashing. I believe my workplace has been slowly trying to brainwash me since my first day of work. It goes slowly because if they brainwash you too fast people might notice (like with cults). Workplaces do it more subtley so very few people catch on.
You have to think to yourself though...those tools at work in these crappy supermarket jobs...there's no way a non brainwashed person can act the way they do. They repeat slogans that lead to thier brainwashing constantly... slogans that promote the kind of job you could be doing and so on. The reason why the rhyme is not only because it sounds better...but because it gives them more power. A rhyming slogan gets stuck inside your head from day one and does not ever leave.
The biggest brainwashing is in the videos they makes us watch...of workers that are unusually happy to be at work. They're working to get a pay check...not because they like being there. They can phoney up a smile for the customers but thats nothing to do with joy of work. The videos are also incrediblley borring and pointless. They take 10 minutes explaining some new rule that doesn't have the least bit of importance and could be explained in 2 sentences. The rule isn't actually the meaning behind the videos the store makes you watch...no no no.... The bordom you get from watching the video puts you at the edge of sleep...and allows them to pummel thier store propaganda into your mind stronger and stronger. It does take many years but those that get stuck in the system for too long are eventually brainwashed...and are hopeless to getting out of the tooldom they have fallen into. Lucky for me...this is what I was thinking about when they made me watch a new video...so my mind wandered to other things instead of allowing me to get to the verge of sleep

I worked at a grocery store for a while...the higher ups are kinda creepy if you think about them. We had like 4 hours of "customer service training" no matter how long you worked there. The guy who did it was so...fake. Maybe he was a robot.  |

Well, if you kill few thousands people with you, then people would remember you well  (Note to CIA- please, don't look at us like this... we're good people, and we don't know how to make bombs or something more illegal) |
