Am I a bad guy if...
 

Corporate life style does not fit me?

i think that's why most of us aer here :thumbsup

Not a good sign.

Just left corporate life do not miss it at all.

I just recently got a great job...

Sitting in the cubicle...

Makes me sick.
I do not think I can hang with it.
Great Job to. Most of you would die for it.

yapyap.

You're a horrible person! I bet your parents even disowned you! How can you sleep at night? :1orglaugh

nope, does not make you a bad guy :thumbsup

You might be a bad guy already?

two words: Office Space

i got two initech mugs :glugglug

:thumbsup was thinking that myself :)

try me? :thumbsup

I might be...

I dunno.

I've been turning away business lately and thats actually pissed some people off!:1orglaugh

Not at all. I love the non-corportate lifestyle.

:thumbsup

:glugglug

Its not about office space so much as it is distraction.

20 Minute drive to work.
15 Minutes get acclimated.
30+ Minute meetings.
20 Minutes fucking with a development environment that is subject and surrounded by mishaps...

LUNCH!

10 minute smoke break.
1 hr work.
30 minutes Q$A and new project requests.
20-40 minutes explaining things.
20-30 minutes miscelleneous questions.
20 minutes answering emails fucking the creative flow up.
30 minutes writing correspondence...

Drive home another 20 minutes.

What exactly was done during the day?

I am used to working 14 hours a day, and night without interruptions except to piss and eat.

With me when I am working only a few things matter.
The server and the creation.

Nothing else matters when in a "zone".

the movie :)

Just realize where you are and what is required of you.

Your expected to steal all the pens, paperclips, and sticky notes just like everyone else.
Oh, yea, your missing 1 to 1½ hours of checking your personal email and the bonus is
if your keyboard is making lots of noise then it's assumed you work like a bastard.

Tow the line and cash the paycheck...everyone else does.

Thats it your life is over!!!!!
hahaha J/K

but really corporate sucks, never going back :)

Fuck you man...

I do not work for people to take there money.
I work to propell them above the standard.

If I could tell you a story...
I would tell you that todays highest money making business men on the net are getting raped by there employee's.

I think this was a loaded question. You know that it is not bad to like freedom over a choice of corporate america telling you how to dress and when to show up, and which stapler is yours (or in Miltons case; which stapler is not his).

Please refrain from insulting me, I cry easy and your insult has me
on my second box of tissues.
Your on the wrong side of the fence there buddy, your supervisor material...wait, you spelled "their" wrong...I take that back.

Just a note...

3 to 5 people is all it takes to make a living on the net.

1 LEADER IDea man (optional and must be good. DAMN GOOD))
1 Network/Host guy
1 Marketing guy.
1 CGI Artist.
1 Content artist.

The sum of the 3 to 5 carry administrative between one another.

Thats it nothing more to make a huge success on the net.

BAD BOY ! :Graucho

the worst :winkwink:

That dar thin? Hows that?

Anyways the note above just might be the answer to why outsourcing might be a good thing but then then this is ENTERTAINMENT we speak of...

I'm sure that means something to you but my Portuguese nanny says she can't translate it for me.
Then pack your bags an off to India you go to recruit. You'll love it there.

Do I get a free turban?

Is there anyway you could balance in between the two?
I've always wanted a corporate job, wearing a cute little woman suit all day and all.
It would be nice to compromise between the two.
Good Luck:)

Go to Kablan Salma LTD in New Deli and ask for Habinder Pundel and tell him Mr. R.D. Walsh told you to see him. He may have something like that for you.

I am actually gonna try that. Seriously...
I have worked out of home for a while now and am far more productive than simply rotting on a freeway wondering if I am gonna be subject to HR scrutiny.

If I were insane...
I just might do that.
I can raise an army of east indain designers in less than 4 months chanting "PSD!. PSd! PSD!" or "Crop, inverse select copy!"

humm...

Who is Kablan? He an easy going guy or an uptight ass hole?

I just see if you could do that, you could get the best of both worlds, have yourself in some fat cash, and stay busy.

Do you have a family, cause that might make it kind of hard, but if not go for it, and if you get tired of it, then you could come back to this decision and make it then.

I have nothing to worry about...

My entire exhistance is not dependant on a 9-5.

No harm no fowl.
Dont forget this in the industry...

YOU WILL NOT WORK FOR SOMEONE FOREVER.
We are in a constant dance and people move around (Some more than others) and at the end of the day ya ask your self. "Did I burn any bridges?"
Thats all that matters...

If somthing does not work out it does not mean that there is bad intent. It sometimes means ya value your time more.

I know what you mean. I worked in Insurance after college and at a Venture Capital / "incubator" firm after grad school. The pay was good but I felt my soul being drained out on a daily basis.

Indian Mafia.

you are a bad guy :thumbsup

Back in '98 I left my Motorola cubicle and headed straight for the adult biz, haven't looked back since, altough I still temp corporate jobs from time to time, I get feelings of dread just thinking about the Motorola job, I even had a chance at a Creative Director position with all the perks, but way too dull of a lifestyle.

Well I feel more comforatable knowing some of you feel the same way:)

Thanks:thumbsup

I actually relate quite a bit to what you said, my job consisted of way too much checking my own emails and hanging around on message boards because I would go for days without direction from my supervisors who themselves were doing nothing else but promote their own careers.

I prefer a similar production day like you described above. My friends and family still don't understand why I would pass up all that money I was getting for doing NOTHING all day, a dream come true to some, but that's just not how I like to work.
