Create a blog for this week that relates something you read about or watched from this week to your everyday world:
Well one very real section of the Preconquest assignments that I read over and hit home was the Spanish conquering the Aztecs by joing forces with advantageous tribes, gaining trust thru deceit, and mainly wiping out all that opposed them or that they saw fit to let live.
A few years back, I was working at Efficient Networks Inc, and all was just peachy until we saw a few signs that cutbacks were occurring in our depatment and office in general. Later a big-wig from our headquarters from Dallas, TX comes stolling into out office and has an urgent all-hands meeting that all are to attend. The outcome of this meetings is to reassure all that some measures are being taken to cut costs where ever possible, but that no ones jobs are at risk and that everything is going to go on as usual.
Well witin a couple months, we notice quite frequent visits from those from headquarters and bringing along with them associates from out of the country, branded with Seimens on their persons.
Couple of months later, a few persons are laid off, a group here and their are reorganized and placed under new management. Slowing thining out the herd, the weak ones and those with numberous numbers doing the same function are the easiest targets.
Nearly a year goes by and were down to a skeleton crew, hanging on to whatever we hold dear the most, and the big news is finally reveiled. 'Seimens is buying out the company and those left have 3 months on the books.'
How I felt betrayed, lied to contiously and was disgusted from their deceitful ways!
But as I read and have learned myself, life continues on, maybe not under the pasts tribes name or under the same exact beliefs, but they are all similar in many ways and tend to follow similar goals and cultures.
