Quote by Terry Pratchett
You did what you were told or you didn't get paid, and if things went wrong it wasn't your problem. It was the fault of whatever idiot has accepted this message for sending in the first place. No one cared about you, and everyone at headquarters was an idiot. It wasn't your fault, no one listened to you. Headquarters had even started an Employee of the Month scheme to show how much they cared. That was how much they didn't care.
Summary
This quote reflects a sense of frustration and discontent with the hierarchical structure of a workplace. It highlights a system where employees are merely expected to follow orders without any personal accountability. The speaker implies that superior figures at headquarters, who potentially set unrealistic tasks or ignore employees' input, are to blame for any mistakes or issues that may arise. The mention of an "Employee of the Month" program sarcastically emphasizes the insincerity and lack of genuine care from higher-ups. Overall, the quote suggests an atmosphere of indifference and a lack of appreciation for individual efforts within the workplace.
