The degree of dishonesty surrounding all business and employment, even in the best cases, makes me really uncomfortable, being so totally at odds with the way I was raised. Some of it's so pervasive that people don't seem to notice until you point it out, then usually try to come up with excuses for it. Coming to terms with all the lying has taken years, and I still don't like it.
