work suspension

"You're an investment, and I want a return on you."

Thats the reason my boss gave me for not firing me today. Because I forgot to log out of my phone when i took a quick ten minute break today, and since you are paid at this place according to your phone log in time, i was getting paid for break. Which my company sees as me stealing from them. So even though I am a good employee otherwise, my boss called me into her office today and said that I was being suspended for one week. (big whoop, i hate that place, its like a freaking vacation.) and then when she explained why i wasnt being fired she said that quote. and i realized fuck working. i know most of you already realized this, and i thought i did too until i heard this quote and it really dawned on me. We are worth almost nothing. we are a stock option to them, our lives mean bupkiss. They hired us and they want money off of us and thats it. nothing more. since i havent been working there long enough i guess they think the time it took train me was worth more than i am and that they should keep me around a little longer until i finally reach the equalization point and when i do, they see it as economically viable to "separate my employment." well nuts to them. this is just a job, they are all just jobs. even a 35 year career, when you boil it down, is just a job. there are always others and even though it sucks and you get stressed and could lose your house or apartment or car or whatever.... fuck it.
