Really funny but true…
I read a really funny quote the other day which I just had to share.
“Looking for a good job is like scrambling to get the best deck chair on the Titanic”.
haha, isn’t that great! It’s amazing how many persons I run into who are “looking for a better job”, or are going back to school to upgrade their skills to get a better job, or even those think they have a good job. They don’t understand that a job is a sinking ship. Today on the job the yearly cost of living increase doesn’t even keep up with inflation. Here in Jamaica inflation is up around 24% on food and 21% on bills and utilities… and what are most persons getting at work? A wage freeze! When I worked as the head of Business Intelligence for Cable & Wireless I got an 8% increase. Not to mention I lost 30% on the devaluation of the dollar to the CAD.
All that and I haven’t even touched lack of job security (come on there is no such wordage as Job Security these days – see earlier post if you doubt)… I don’t know… to me it’s as plain as day JOB = Titanic.
