Countermeasures?

From 2016 and definitely a repost.

I cant tell whether you are joking. Seriously. That's what life in a Big Corp is quite often like, actually.

That mountain often seems to bring the worst in people. No, it wasn't "the mountain" that brought out the worst in these people. It was quite simply the obsessive pursuit of money,…
