The Absolute Worst Working Environment?

Posted by timothy on from the no-feet-we-were-too-poor dept.

goodEvans writes "As I write this, there is a window open behind me with a small jet engine outside. This is supplying vast amounts of compressed air to the aircraft undergoing heavy maintenance in the hangar right outside my door. There is a 6-inch diameter air hose going through the office and out the door. All this requires that I sit at my desk wearing a body warmer to keep out the cold, and both ear defenders AND ear plugs to keep out the noise! And this will go on for half a day once a week! What are the worst conditions you have ever had to work under?" Can you top that? (If top is the word ...)

    Bush's feudal America? Its only slightly difference from the Democrats version of Feudal America. On one hand are the heriditary elites and on the other are the Celebrity elites. Both envision the population as a faceless narod laboring outside their gated communities. Heck we already have "barshina", the russian term mandatory labor days devoted to the lord of the manor. The first 4 months of income go to paying income tax.

    Neither party represents the "working man" any more. Where is Harry S. Truman when you need him.
