Work ethics??
Sad, but true folks. The "old timer" work ethic in this country is in the toilet and fast disappearing.
I worked for a major mfgr.. While at the home office, I observed the smokers break habits... Some were outside, regardless of the weather, every 20 minutes!! The policy said 1 10 min break in the Am, same in the Pm..
The WORST offender was the vice President of HR!! It was no wonder an employee could not get his sorry ass on the fone.. He was outside smoking for 56 minutes out of the 90 that I observed the crowd doing this. [He ended up w/ lung cancer] To make it worse, the total number of people doing this was about 20 people.. ALL were repeat "offenders". [All out/in 1 door] Who knows how many were at the other 4 doors in the bldg!!
Bubba.. sounds like you need to have an " Attitude adjustment" get together! Maybe a time clock would be the next thing.. Pay ONLY for the time actually working.
John L is rite on! One relies and plans on the paychek.. all else is "gravy", and should NOT be included in a budget..
Bottom line is: The work ethic training starts at home, and w/ so many "latchkey" kids left to fend for themselves, they don't get the supervision they need.. A fact of life in today's family struggles to make a living... Both parents are at work..
Maybe a stock mkt crash and a depression would bring the work ethic back up to a reasonable standard.. If you are a jerkoff, you are replaced by one of the hundreds out looking for work!!
Back under my rock!
