Frustration with Corporate America

I hate corporate America. After working in it for 10 years, each day I realize more and more how much I hate it. Its all about putting money in the head guy's pocket and not caring about the hard working employees who make the company successful. Decisions are made for the wrong reasons, without thinking of the consequences. And I've just about had it.

I have been working on this huge event for months. 67 guests are confirmed and others still pending. It is scheduled to take place in 2 and a half weeks. I have put my heart and soul into this event. I spent 2 weekends away from my baby to ensure the event would be perfect. I was informed today that the event might be canceled because the execs didn't think it would be "fiscally responsible" for us to hold it given our financial situation. Since we are within 90 days we are still on the hook for the full amount. 200k. They are debating what they want to do. Hello?? Are you there?? DUH?!? This should be a no brainer. You still have to pay the full amount. Doesn't it make sense to still hold the event?? I just don't see the logic in canceling an event where you still have to pay the full amount. How is THAT fiscally responsible?

I just don't get it. And I don't think I ever will. I am so over Corporate America...
