I hear you, David. My experience though is that you may be the most dedicated, loyal, effective employee in the corporation, and if there is an officer over your head that needs to be protected from inquiry, or a higher-up's personal friend that needs a job, or they can find somebody cheaper and younger than you, they will do so not by offering to throw a farewell party, but by sending two security guards to your desk unannounced to escort you and your cardboard box of belongings out of the building. The historic covenant between workers and companies has been broken, we are all freelance in effect, and we owe corporations we work for nothing but an honest day's work. I've worked in corporations most of my adult life, and they can write in some litigation/risk management rule about the ability to inspect my car w/o my permission, but I'm not gonna take it seriously. The fact is they're only going in your car if you've already done something wrong. And if they want my urine, or they want DNA samples, or they're not happy because I don't like golf, or won't stop relaying consumer complaints up the chain, I'll move on. These days, if you're a troubled teen and get caught with a nickel bag of weed you can't get scholarships or student aid for life; if you're Halliburton and steal billions from our soldiers and taxes, you get a small fine and don't even lose the government contract. Unfortunately for me, in this economy I haven't been able to make enough for my kids not doing corporate work, but I dream of the day I'm back out of it. Corporate America is a morass of the ignorant and greedy, their rules mean nothing, a man's gotta look up at the stars and into his heart to know what's right.
PS I don't get to keep mine in the car anyway, I cross the border into Jersey and those troopers are not to be messed with, I would be posting in from Rahway State on the prison library computer during my off hours as Bubba's maid, I'm too pretty to do hard time!
