No wonder people give up
Reading through the news today, I saw so many ‘trivial’ stories about companies getting sued, people getting sued and even (no kidding, a dog being sued) over petty, inconsequential things, that I have to wonder at how people manage to stay in business. Or for that matter, even want to be in business, when you have to deal with people.
You can’t afford to sell anything without a million warnings, just in case some idiot fails to realise that “gee, that coffee might actually be hot so I better sip before gulping” or “golly-gosh, using a hairdryer in a shower could be a bad idea.”
You can’t even voice an opinion online just in case your boss/coworker/random reader takes offense (and boss, our company’s great and I love working there) and fires your ass.
When going to job interviews you get asked for your logins to social networking sites so your prospective employer can keep tabs in case you voice an opinion.
WTF has happened to this planet???
Just in case; this opinion was not my own and I take no responsibility for any offense it may or may not cause.
