    I like #9 best.

#4 is actually, like, you know kind of profound.

How did this caring manifest itself?

Why, what would writing a paragraph outlining my work history of dedication and sacrifice going to accomplish?  It doesn't increase shareholder value, and it sure as fuck doesn't matter to someone like you.  So don't fucking worry about it.

You claim that employers, with rare exceptions like Random House, don't care about their workers.  I'm merely pointing out that the relationship is reciprocal.  Like most people in the world you showed up, you did a job, and you got paid.  Caring had nothing to do with it on either side of the equation.
