How to fake a good attitude???

I started working for a company where having a good attitude is a major job requirement.

So today I was in a training session and learned how the company donated 24 million dollars to charities in our state.

I wanted to ask the leader of the training session...why is it this company gives away 24 million dollars to charities and then pays its workers a wage so low it is impossible to live on?

I have been trying to be upbeat at this job...but this one fact threw me into darkness. I am trying to come out of my depression but constantly feel confronted by darkness.

I mean...I took this job knowing I will have to look for another job because this company's wages are so low. So why would I care about the company giving away 24 million dollars and bragging about it?

It is so hard to come out of depression because no matter how hard I try to be positive, the "truth" seems much more sinister.

Should I just fake a good attitude?

Hello Dechan: If I learned anything over the years I was employed it was that people who don't swallow the party line never get ahead... even a little bit. In order to "make it", so to speak, you slap on a big smile & nod in a agreement with whatever foolishness your employer presents you with. That's just the way it works (in my experience.)

So, when your trainers beam telling you how the company donated $24 million, while you're not earning enough to survive, you just smile broadly & nod with adoring appreciation... (while looking for another job.) That's just the way it works... or doesn't... depending on how you look at it... Sorry...
