Time to write more

I am going to start this blog back up again, and try to write regularly on it. I previously had started this as a reaction to the Fortune 500 corporate world when I was working for AT&T. I left that world, temporarily, and now am back into it working for JP Morgan Chase. I imagine that if someone was to report me, that I could lose my job if I said the wrong things. But as a disclaimer of sorts, I am writing about my experiences, through my own filter on the horrors, the goofiness, and the difficulties of the mega-size corporate world. These are my own views. Since my time with AT&T I was an English teacher for a brief 3 year period. I also graduated with a Master of Arts in English Professional and Technical writing. Some would say that is a useless degree, but I am finding it quite useful instead. A Masters seems to bring a certain amount of instant credibility and hire-ability as well. When I write about Better Business Theory, these are my viewpoints based on experience, plus academics. You see, I did not just take a few English classes or writing classes. I took business classes on a high level as well. Things like Organizational Management, Communications Theory, Project Management, and higher level marketing classes. I am not trying to brag, let alone say that what I write is the best way possible. I am just a differing viewpoint, a different logic perhaps. I enjoy doing this, writing, voicing concerns, creating a logic, or even offering a solution or two. It is a therapy of sorts. My goals are to write towards creating a book for the corporate world. There are topics such as Who Moved My Cheese, or One Minute Manager. Both great books, and there are many more out there that are must reads for anyone that is a business owner. I aim to add to the flotsam of business books eventually. When studying Organizational Management, one may start to adopt a logic that with a huge hierarchy that it is difficult to have a true top down approach. It has been my experience with two of the largest companies in the world that the supposed smart guys at the top still try to implement policy from far to high in the chain. Some of my writing will be reaction to those misdeeds, and I will cover other topics of importance in the current business world.
