It is ALL on you to perform and deliver value to the employer . I am high school educated and over my 45 year working career worked circles around most every college grad I worked with . I started when I was 15 and threw in the towel when I was 60 . I can still remember an episode with my dad when I was sick with a cold and didn't want to go to work . He said " you can be sick at work just as well as at home so get up and go to work " !!! A little extreme but you get the point .
My mom and dad came to the U.S. after WWII from Germany . They worked their butts off to be a positive influence on society , never asked for a hand out. That work effort rubbed off on my brother and myself and we have instilled that work ethic into our children . Kids/young adults ( milennials ) figure EVERYONE owes them just because their father shot a load into their mother .......... sorry not good enough ! No one owes you anything so get over yourself . Look in the mirror that is the person responsible for you no one else . Put down the damn phone and get to work ! And get off my lawn !  |
Your mindset is reflective of what the American mindset was back then...one that understood what privation and hunger really meant. So ya busted yer azz to see that didn't happen.
Now everybody thinks they can live like a millionaire...
Surprise surprise I went to work sick and sometimes hurt. Even if sumtimes it seems that I play the part of the fool. It is a mistake on your part if you think I am...it proves that you are gullible...a chump.
