@riskyrepublican: A rant about the bare minimum in the workforce and why your entitlement doesn’t earn you anything. #rant #worklife #employer #employee
My dad gave me some of the best advice before going to my first ever tax paying job when I was 16 and its stuck with me forever. He said "work for the money you want to make and not the money you do make. And if someone ever asks "we'll how much money do you want to make?" your answer should always be "more"."

It's only the younger generation that feels entitled.They think that they can come to a job at beginner.Level and expect the same pay as somebody.That's been there five or ten years

seriously there's no reward for being a good employee im on time show up work my ass off. Just to be screwed by the no shows lat people and slackers. my reward boss took my days off. cause im reliable while the slack ass employees get to show when they want, do what they want, and get requested off days. so my lesson has been stop doing it. yet I cant because of my work ethic and pride.

In my opinion, we created this problem by handing out participation trophies and started caring about feelings first. Just my opinion

The real fact that no one is talking about is all the things you mentioned about a good employee creates a great character and work ethic for their future LIFE Doing the minimum at work results in getting the bare minimum in life.

Raises were never raised so with inflation people got a pay cut.. why would any person work harder?

IT'S also hard to find a Good Employer...both sides need to do better. I got called down because I clocked in 5 minutes early...so I clocked in I minute early...still got called down...they did not want to pay overtime...I had to clock in right on time everyday.

Perfectly said. The minimum wage could be $100/hr. They won’t work harder. It won’t change the lazy people. Agree with you 100%. Pride is missing.

Not speaking for the younglings, but everyone else have been screwed over so long people stopped caring. Why bust ass and give 110% to see nothing back. Not only nothing but ya can’t afford basic shit like a roof and food. I’ve always put in the effort at work, but not gonna pretend there hasn’t been days where I don’t have the f**knit attitude and what’s in it for me… employers want every employee to do the work of 2-4 employees each. For less than one employee paycheck. AND THEN you’re called lazy when you don’t. Or my favorite called lazy when you do all the work of 1 employee but not 2 or more 🙄. Also if ya can’t afford to pay a living wage which would incentivize most people (I know I’d hustle every day without question) you don’t deserve to be in business.

it breaks down morale for the good employees to have to sit back and watch the crap employees walk around and do nothing
