A Steam Bomb, Low Morale, Metal Detectors

I dreamed last night I was interviewed for a temporary job at the Google campus in Mountain View, CA. The job length was a few days. I walked inside the building including the cafeteria after my interview. Morale was low. The workers faked happiness. A fake bomb exploded in the cafeteria. The bomb contents was steam like a pot of boiling water. Everyone leaving the building must pass through metal detectors like Amazon warehouse workers going through security checks before entering and exiting the warehouse building.

I interpreted the dream in multiple perspectives. The temporary job can be part-time, full-time, contractor, or vendor. Permanent employment is a myth in today's workplace. All workers are replaceable. All workers are expendable. The exceptions are workers with careers like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Meryl Streep. Work performance means nothing.

Many workers don't like their jobs. Many workers don't like their management. Many workers don't like their company. Many workers do a good job acting happy. Workers are human beings. Give it time. Many workers are a time bomb ready to vent their frustrations, anger, and disappointments or steam.

Finally, I interpret the metal detector like personal security. Today's Information Age the private sector and the public sector can find more about personal lives. People must be proactive to protect our lives online and offline. We protect our personal information from thieves and from companies profiting.
