HATING on monstrous and mindless corporations

i just recently acquired a job at one such corporation. i've never worked retail and i'm into fashion in a serious way so i figured i should at least see how that side of the industry operates (i also need to fund my 3 month south pacific extravaganza). BAD CALL.....as a shopper i think i had almost forgotten just how vapid these companies actually are. Each one has their own version of a little box into which they toss all their employees in clone-like unison. "don't read between the lines, guys...don't even slip a baby toe outside the box OR ELSE". maybe i'm ill-suited to working beneath figures of authority (in some ways i am), but maybe i just cherish free thought too much to live in a world devoid of the variety brought on by circumstance and individual expression. am i a brat for thinking this way? probably....but at least i have a critical-thinking mind. and it's all about being able to go to south east asia for three months, so i'll suck it up and appropriate the drone-like existence for the next little while. as my beautiful boss at the magazine im interning at says, "just wear it as a costume". besides, halloween IS just around the corner.......
