(ADDED) VALUE(S)

Googling stuff to show off your knowledge at parties that you don't enjoy. Throwing one another under the bus to save your jobs. Firing people of integrity for abiding by the law, for getting in your way, for being expensive, for not looking or sounding quite right, for making you feel slightly uncomfortable, for slight advantage. Overworking, undercutting, overlooking, underinforming and then discarding each other. Getting jobs by sucking, kissing, preening, knobbing, twatting etc. etc. It's why I'm gone and I can't come back.
