We all hate our jobs, let's be honest. They suck. There is little worse than the bitter bile taste as your boss uses you yet again without paying you more. And how about that alarm clock buzzing in your ear. Ah!! These items should help. You'll feel so much better when you actually understand what's going on. Grab them, read them, learn from them. You'll feel better, mark our words. We like to write a lot in here to make it work out better.
What Color Is Your Parachute
By Richard Nelson Bolles
"We begin with a simple fact: our whole job-hunting system is Neandarthal....Year after year this so-called system fails one job-hunter after another, condemns man after man, woman after woman, to go down the same path, face the same problems, make the same mistakes, endure the same frustrations, go through the same loneliness, and end up feeling as though there is something wrong with them." - First two paragraphs of What Color Is Your Parachute?
Roger & Me
A film by Michael Moore
The ultimate David and Goliath film about an Everyman confronting corporate America. If you've ever wanted to bring the big time CEO down to the level of the rest of us, Moore is your man. He has gone on to bigger and better things, but this is where it all started. Was the biggest selling documentary ever when it was released until his newest movie broke that record.
Beyond Civilization
by Daniel Quinn
How does work fit into history? How did our jobs come about to be the way they are and why does it feel like something is off? Quinn explains the origins of work, the various systems, and a method of melding occupation with workability. Learn the roots of discontent with our work world and a new way of working.
Office Space
A film by Mike Judge
Possibly the funniest movie about work ever made. A cult classic that even the most serious can't fail to laugh at. Judge so accurately pinpoints everything that is wrong with work in a way that is sure to have you repeating the lines for years to come. Everything your friends told you is true. See it! You'll be glad you did and you'll laugh for years.
The Onion
Satire at its finest
From out in the dells of Wisconsin comes perhaps the funniest satire newspaper of our time. The Onion mixes dark humor and irreverence with a twist of absurdity to produce a product only a man with his jaw wired shut could fail to laugh at. And their comedy-tipped arrow has an extremely broad aim, targetting corporate America, the schools, the government and everyone in between. Watch out, you could be the next one in one of their "official" polls!
