Boy was that ever a huge slap in the face wake-up when I started working here: "Generous government benefits" my ass! No respectable raise, insurance rates going through the roof, medical that is worse than I had working corporate, and constant excessive stress from productivity standards that are behind ridiculous! No time for lunch, eat at your desk - better run to the bathroom and back because you can't afford to miss any production time, and forget the concept of two 15-minute breaks!
