Which reminds me of something American mythologist Joseph Campbell once expressed. Something to the effect that it's awful to spend one's entire life climbing the ladder, only to realize at the top you were on the wrong wall.

I remember reading that people act out organisational cultures. I found the UK and France worst for this, people just take themselves far too seriously, perhaps the US is similar. I guess this presents problems for us as we are desperately looking for our real selves but at work we have to put on a corporate face, well that has always been a problem for me.
