The internet and social media is a great thing. This guy quit his job in a grand way on Monday and by Tuesday the internet is a-buzz with Facebook pages and Youtube videos and blog postings filled with opinions, jokes, support and criticism of the way that Steven Slater exited the situation, the plan, and his job. He’s become somewhat of a folk hero, actually, and that’s been part of the debate flowing around out there.
But… we’ve all been there, haven’t we? How many of you have been simply sick and tired of the bullshit and bottled it up, pushed it down, or drank it away? “Take This Job and Shove It”, “Working for the Weekend”, “We’re Not Gonna Take It”… these and many more songs had become anthems for the average schmo longing to get off the dreadmill (<== intentional typo), speak our minds, and set the world straight. Steven Slater did what many fantasize about doing. He didn’t snap and climb a water tower with a rifle. He delivered a pointed EffYou to the self-centered sumbitch that disrespected him and everyone around him because the world revolves around his whims.
In any event… Steven Slater. Here’s your song: (Warning… contains explicit support for Steven’s behaviour and even more explicit language in support of Steven’s behaviour.)
