Most of us old guys came from the working generation with a strong work ethic, and even with that, it was hard to stay at ****ty jobs . Ever asked for a day off, and told no ? God, I hated that . Company says, mandatory 6 x 10 hour days. Your reward for that was ??? laid off when it got slow, a raise ?? .25 cents after busting ass all year, and going the extra mile .
Pay a living wage , with benefits, and make it so employees want to stay , perform, and climb the ladder . Otherwise, corporations are just whoring out people to make their stocks go up .

You are one of the good guys who gets it Fred. There are a lot of employers out there who don't consider their employees to be human beings. To them they are just unreliable production units to be put on line or laid off as needed for efficient production.
It's not hard to understand how some employers get this way. Some employees walk in the door with an attitude that the employer and employee are adversaries. If they come in with that attitude about all you can do is respond in kind. Likewise, if the employer comes in acting like an adversary, he'll get the same attitude back.
