Out of the Loop

Back when I gave a damn, I made a point of being “in the loop.” I tried to stay on top of company developments, went out of my way to offer suggestions in areas I could see room for improvement. In short, I took some “ownership” of the company, if only in practice.

Since the events took place that caused this blog to be created, I’ve in a sense been “pushed” out of that loop. Some of it is due to my own decision to stop giving a good goddamn, of course, but there is still this sense of being sort of “demoted,” if that makes any sense. Not only do my opinions seem less important, but so does my work.

And yet as I write this I realize this is the way it’s always been. Only now, after this professional mini-apocalypse, do I realize how truly unimportant I am to my employer.
