I just received word that Detention Technologies has been taken over by the West Virginia based company, New Age Slavery. This sudden change has taken me back to my first day on the job. I was just settling in at my desk when I was tossed a pamphlet on what to expect from the company. I was so impressed with their honesty, that I would like to share with you some highlights: "Here at Detention Technologies we'll put you in an environment of inept training and then belittle you if you didn't comprehend the half ass training. Suck it up and get back to work. As for medical emergencies, there's no such thing. We have trained advisers to tell you to shove your grief and misery in a sack and take it to the incinerator. Don't get too comfortable in that swivel chair either, for we can fire you at will. And don't go worrying about collecting unemployment, because there is none. We have expert criminal accountants cooking the books so that we don't have to put out a penny. As for restroom breaks, you better not squeeze a drop without asking first because the bulls will crack their cudgel down upon your skull with the quickness. Thank you for applying to Detention Technologies, where we welcome modern day slavery with a smile."
So, it's rather apropos that they would merge with a company that firmly believes in carrying on the tradition of enslavement in the workplace. While entering the office yesterday, I noticed the company's motto being hung on the wall. It was inspiring, and so I would also like to share it with you, dear reader: "Here at New Age Slavery we do everything in our power to break your spirit. We will work you long hours with little to no compensation, just like the good ole days in the tobacco fields." They're still accepting applications, so send that resume on over!
