Slackers 10 rules...

[MeTaL]

It seems I am doing just fine by these rules

The slacker's 10 commandments according to Corinne Maier:

1) Salaried work is the new slavery. Remember that work is not a place for personal fulfillment. You work for your paycheque, "full stop."

2) It's pointless trying to change the system. Opposing it simply makes it stronger.

3) The work you do is fundamentallly pointless. You could be replaced any day of the week by any cretin off the street. So work as little as possible and spend time (not too much, though) cultivating your personal network so that you have some back-up for the next time your company restructures.

4) You're not judged on merit, but on your ability to conform. The more jargon you speak, the more people will think you are in the loop.

5) Never, under any circumstances, accept a position of responsibility. You'll only have to work harder for what amounts to peanuts.

6) Seek out the most useless positions -- adviser, consultant, researcher -- where it is impossible to assess your "contribution to the wealth-creation of the company." Avoid hands-on operational roles like the plague.

7) Once you've found one of these plum jobs, never move. It is only the most exposed who get fired.

Learn to identify kindred spirits who, like you, believe the system is absurd through discreet signs (quirks in the clothing they wear, peculiar jokes, warm smiles).

9) Be nice to people on short-term contracts. They are the only people who do any real work.

10) Tell yourself that the absurd ideology promulgated by business cannot last forever. It will go the same way as the dialectical materialism of the communist system. As Stalin said, death always wins in the end.

I can't figure out if I'm in good shape cause, I'm a contrator or bad shape cause I have to do all the work.
