Atlanta airport treating employees like children

April 9, 2009

I just stumbled by this article on CNN.com, and it prompted me to make an odd post to Career Hell.  Imagine this: R&B classics like Lakeside’s “Fantastic Voyage” altered butchered and reborn emerging from the pits of corporate hell as “Our New Concessions.” The worst part about it is the songs were re-recorded with the new lyrics written by Atlanta-Hartsfield Int’s Airport’s “creative innovations manager” and sung by the original artists.  I guess money talks.

Not only is it bad taste to engage in this cheesy corporate rewriting of music history, but the whole idea is to change the way people think.  Workers are trained to think about keeping the airport “Opening Day Fresh.”

How about just do your job and cut the crap?  Then again, I have been to Atlanta-Hartsfield a number of times, and the consessions crew don’t seem all that enthralled to be there.  But really, would you?!

Another shameful corporate FAIL.  Just read the article: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/04/09/atlanta.hartsfield.music/index.html?iref=t2test_travelthur
