Maggie's Farm

JP Sartre wrote about this, though his view was that freedom was something to be achieved internally - inside each of us - but most of us are slaves to something/someone because we don't know any better. There may be some truth to that, though I don't tend to agree.

I know in a corporate environment, I prefer to be left alone and do my job. If I'm not in management, then I prefer management to recognize the benefits of each of the employees - we're all different - and accommodate accordingly to get the most out of all. That's a rare event, as most managers like to push "collaboration" and define it as "everyone working together as a team". The problem is, as I once heard, "it's not enough to have everyone on the bus, you need the RIGHT PEOPLE on the bus". In other words, you're with us or you're against us. Which is almost never how this works.

Fair masters may be useful for certain people or at certain times. But they are hard to find.
