But, the violent torpedo of truth that really struck home was one you might not have ever seen coming ...
Mitch Albom: 'Office' is now the code word for our low morale
- Freep.com
Mitch, as usual, cuts to the quick ... "A new study suggests that more than a third of Americans are hoping to leave their job to find a different one this year. A third? That same study suggests their bosses think the employees are satisfied.
That spells a disconnect."
And if you need it to hit even closer to home ...
"Everywhere you look in this country, people are stressed, annoyed, overworked and angry. Seemingly everyone has a story of wages being slashed, benefits cut and responsibilities tripled. "There were five of us on the sales force. Now I'm the only one." "I haven't had a raise in five years. They keep telling me there's no money." Co-workers are laid off and their load dumped on survivors who are made to feel they're lucky to have a job."
And that pretty much sums up the ad agency life in Detroit for the last many moons.
Mitch carried on ... "But this past week, a pair of headlines caught my eye. One, from USA TODAY, read, "CEO pay soars while workers' pay stalls." It detailed how, yet again, CEOs were being lavished with incredible pay packages, some up 140% or more from last year. Median CEO pay jumped 27% in 2010."
Ouch.
While the rest of us are sitting in cubicle purgatory - not knowin' when the almighty "scope" for our job will run out.
I don't know ... guess I've been known to bury my head in the sand with the best of 'em at times ...
But, truth is ... we been torpedo'd.

Yes, but you and your old timer buddies are content. After years of funneling the majority of your ad budgets their way in return for trips, home remodeling projects omaha freeze dried steaks, lobster tails, french perfume and the likes--you are sitting pretty. So tell Mitch there are two sides to every story.
I don't know what kind of drugs you're on, man, but there's no way you can call that performance in Detroit a bomb.
If the audience is too effin stupid to stay for the show and learn some of the truth they already paid for, then it's their own fault, not anyone else's.
I guess this proves that all the smart ones have already left Detroit for the Windy City.
Charlie Sheen going on tour not doing as well now realizes he blew his high paying job on Two and a Half Men near his home and needs to realize he caused the rest of the cast and crew to loose their jobs as well.
