[QUOTE="Rain Shield, post: 1585288, member: 52948"] Guys, this is our workforce now. I am not knocking on the OP. Americas workforce has come to believe that they determine what defines a good employee. I can not imagine believing I am a good employee when I am constantly late. We were raised in a different generation. This is our country now. My best friend is a college professor. Not one of those that teaches because he can not work. He was in corporate America and did very, very well. He is now the chair in the business school at a college. We had the following discussion just two weeks ago. He says his students have no idea what the real World has in store for them. 99% of them are in dream land. They believe they are going to graduate and become a "Leader" in some fortune 500 company. He is trying to breakdown the real World for them. He tells them, you will have a hard time finding a job doing what you want. You better get ready to do what you do not want and try to move in a direction that you want. You will start out as a peon. Your boss, or some other person will take credit for a lot of what you do and be rewarded get use to it. You will probably be doing so called work that has nothing to do with your job. Go pick up my laundry, go get lunch, etc. You will be at the bottom of the pole. You want to move up in the World? Do the stuff your boss does not do well or does not want to do and do it well. Make your boss look good. Thses things do not apply very much with us at UPS, but he had a point. Our workforce has gone in the crapper, and part of it is that we are raising coddled future workers.
