It’s been some time since I started my career in Information Technology (IT) and most of my jobs have been for smaller companies totaling 50 employees and only about 10 workstations, maximum. My most current employer is still a small company but it wants to feel grownup, for the 100 people, 2 servers and 15 terminals, I really wouldn’t say it’s a conglomerate of any sort but they sure like to feel big. They go to extreme lengths to complicate things, for example they want me to fill out a daily activity report for the HR department. So that they can keep perfect track of what one of eight departments or three companies I’m doing work for.

Corporate America would have you believe that this is the right way of doing things, it might be, for mega giants like Microsoft or IBM but this place is basically a farm, they sell live beef and chicken products to local butchers and grocery stores. Do they really need half my day to be spent doing busy work so that they know I’m busy?

Robonix practitioners know that a true professional is fully capable of managing him/her self, without a camera in his face or a monkey on his back. Close supervision only foments mistrust, bitterness and was the main factor in the decline in global productivity, until a handful of European countries changed their way of looking at people. They no longer looked at them as a resources to be exploited and started looking at them more like people to be apprecaited.

Robonix must rebuke corporate slavery; the corporate belief that you don’t have the right to be with your wife (significant other) in times of need, unless they are physically unable to move is a crock. The belief that you are a slave to your desk and that only extreme illness (yours or an immediate family member) is reason enough to pry you away from your work is one of the main causes of work dissatisfaction. By reverse engineering the main drivers we can se that the drive for self preservation and the preservation of our loved ones far exceeds the drive to be a “Team Player” and the main reason that we are interested in work as a mean is to achieve the end (self preservation and the preservation of our loved ones) and to help in this process.

This is happening more and more every day to good hard working people, corporations want to control who and what we care about, what we do in our time off, what we consume (legal and ilegal). If given the chance corporations will infringe on every last one of our right’s, if there’s a penny to be made or a penny to be saved, you can bet your last dollar that they will even want to control our right to breathe.
