There really should not be as climate of mistrust and hostility. It should just be , I am here to work, give me the tools and the materials necessary and I WILL GET IT DONE.
When companies get away from the closeness to their workforce, due to stockholders, and the like, distrust CAN set in even if there is no reason for it.
I never go to work thinking that I will screw the company today. I never hold the COMPANY responsible for some mishaps created by a mid-level guy. I just deal with it and keep trying to do my job.
And I do not make it my daily rant about (THOSE NON-UNION GUYS). I wish we could all be together with our mutual respect, coupled with the respect of our company because THEY KNOW that they would not be in business without us.

And likewise you would not have a job without the company and those pesky shareholders. Seems to me that its a symbiotic relationship, right?

What is SYMBIOTIC? Is that a liberation front, or something?
