Before the appearance of giant capital almost every nation had an enormous "middle class" with independent, private ownership, a class of small independent masters, shoemakers, clothiers, small manufacturing shops, ranches, etc. These provided an endless pool of employment (as well as political stability) to the nation. There was no unemployment. Big capital changed all this into few employers, the MASTERS, and a nation-wide, colossal, "workers pool", the lowly, uprooted and disinherited masses of SERVANTS. Most of us, unfortunately, have to depend today on employment by these masters and their lackeys for our livelihood. Often this turns into a disagreeable experience. Both masters and their lackeys may humiliate you, exploit you and spitefully persecute you, to boost their EGO, or for other reasons. Coworkers or your subordinates may compete for your job, to advance themselves into your position, by discrediting, gossip mongering, blackmail, even by sabotaging you. If you're not vigilant, often they do succeed. I know a strange case where a subordinate managed to steal enough to lower the inventory sufficiently to incriminate his boss. In some extreme cases illegal drugs have been planted on their boss or "mistakes" fabricated. The Luciferian passions of GREED, EGO and LUST provide the motivation. The lower the level of morality in a nation, the worse it gets. One of the "disciplining" procedures involves "writing you up", with two of the lackeys confronting you with written accusations and asking you to sign it. NEVER SIGHN. This usually is equivalent to admitting guilt. IF THE WHOLE THING IS DISHONEST, you must start defending yourself, with courtesy, but dignified, and effectively. You might start immediately to solicit advice from friends, associates experienced with this type of persecution, lawyer, anyone familiar with this type of intrigue and customs. Next you might want to contact your department supervisor with some personal complaints of harassment, personal malice and persecution, and the real facts. Any discrimination for race, religion, nationality or sex is now a type of crime. You might eventually ask for a transfer or start a lawsuit on you own. Don't let any "write ups" accumulate. Such write ups may follow you into your next job. If here is a union to help you, see what can be done. In some cases both the lackey and the servant write each other up. In one case, I heard, an employee took out the maximum "health, disability and accident" insurance offered by his company, and when they tried to fire him, he claimed psychological, psychiatric disability, partly due to stress and harassment at work, and with the help of a psychiatrist got several years free pay and medical. I mention this only to illustrate that this is a serious, competitive and potentially dangerous field. Someone unaware of what is going on is in danger. One must walk with courtesy and honesty, but very carefully; do your job as well as can be done, watch any stock or equipment entrusted to you like a hawk, and explore defensive options well ahead of time. It is no joke being a servant (employee) instead of being the master (owner); especially when becoming an owner yourself is properly and totally blocked for you by big capital. Keep in mind your eventual PENSION BENEFITS. Much of private industry and enterprise will provide practically nothing towards your retirement. Believe me, this retirement will come and you will need financial help. Historically the State or Government employment has been best at providing decent retirement programs for employees. They offer salaries a little lower than private industry, but calculate yourself the real financial gain for your ultimate 20 to 40 years of life. Most of us, in spite of great hopes and plans, do end up very dependent on pension and social security. There might also be less stress and workload, as well as automatic promotion, in government sponsored employment.
But even if you are very successful at your job, you will still find, sooner or later, that there will be always a lack of happiness if you continue without searching for your Creator, who loves you and suffered to save you. I am NOT kidding, Kid. Neither will you find stability in any relationship of yours which ignores the Bible and God’s laws.
With infinite love God gave us a Savior, to pay our penalty and a Bible, a guide and light on our path! The Bible is a love story; written with blood, upon a wooden cross; the story of God's love for you. Men are not lost because they are sinners; THEY ARE LOST BECAUSE THEY HAVE REJECTED THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE, who died for them. If you are not yet completely committed to Christ, know that our Savior needs to be invited. He is a gentleman. He knocks on the door of your heart (innermost being). Everybody can have the other one (Satan) automatically; that one never knocks. He pushes his way. Any CONCEIVABLE sacrifice is worthwhile to find the BIBLICAL Christ Jesus and to belong to Him. If you want Him, pray now with me, "DEAREST LORD JESUS, FORGIVE ME MY SINS. I REJECT ALL NON-BIBLICAL RELIGION. COME INTO MY LIFE AND BE THE RULER OF MY LIFE. HELP ME TO LOVE YOU MORE EVERY DAY AND TO OBEY YOU WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND TO READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY, EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE." If you do this, and mean it, with an open heart, this prayer will never fail. It will become the greatest thing you will ever have, and it will last forever. Even in this life it will be the greatest happiness you'll know, and a light upon your path. Conversely, to FAIL in this, it will be the GREATEST DISASTER you will ever have, both here and hereafter. Something most especial is waiting for those who seek the immense goodness of our Lord. God Himself said, that "The ear has not heard and no eye has ever seen, neither can man even imagine the HAPPINESS which God prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor. 2:9, paraphrased, if you please)!
