Notes from caffeineville

One small voice in a hill of beans

I'm lazy and I'm a coward.

I'm feeling demoralized by my job.

I am having real ethical problems with how my company treats people.

The easy thing to do is quit and find another job; I'm employable and there are jobs available. But how does that help the company change? How does that help my co-workers, left behind, to deal with the problems? How far-reaching is my responsibility for the company's behavior?

My real question is: how do I find the strength and the courage to fight with people whom I love - to hurt them by bringing their very ideals into question? Also, how do I find the vocabulary to do it intelligently, professionally and with friendship?

I'm such a milquetoast, I'm not sure I have it in me.

Just a few photos to hold you over.
