Well, my maid is fairly cheap. I think my wife pays her $0.25 to load, $0.25 to unload. Growing up I'd be doing quarter and half loads all day trying to earn $$$$.
Sometimes I wish my guys were paid piece work. You know the whole"Fiscal Responsibility " thing and all... I'm about to hold someone fiscally responsible.
The downside of that is then they take short cuts and you get a high volume of crap work.
Truth I suppose. Some of my guys take shortcuts getting paid by the hour too though so... It's just society these days I feel like. No one wants to work but wants to get paid.
At least in our days, it was mostly about getting paid...we were willing to do the work (and without a tip jar no less)
Depends on the work, depends on the day, and depends on the boss (nothing about your quality as boss). I love cooking, brewing beer, wood work... But would hate to need it to make a living.
I always laugh about this debate. Our parents said the same thing about us...bunch of slackers were my parents words. I guess it is more of an age than a generational thing.
Turns out changes are hard.
Unfortunately it isn't necessarily. I have a 62 year old and a 26 year old (interesting, I just noticed the ages...) that are my laziest, most worthless technicians. Then I have an 21 year old and a 58 year old that are my best and hardest workers. I think it used to be age or generation but now it seems to be more societal. I could be wrong, maybe it's just a few bad apples
Yeah, we stopped merit based raises because it was mean to the people who were "successful". They did the minimum required but we can't actually fault them for not doing their job and nothing more.
To an extent, there are many angles to this, every generation of Parents want things better for their children. I know my grandfather and father wouldn't want me to slave away 6 or 7 days a week 10+ hour shifts.
I don't do my own lawn care. Wait... I don't have a lawn. Ever tried mowing dirt and rocks? Not good on the old shinbone.
Definitely true, it's not all black and white.
It really can't be drawn along any kind of line like that
I am willing to work well. But I know that my relationship with my employer, at the end of the day, is a business relationship and when there is a better one out there. I will take it.
What! No way! I wish I didn't have to mow my lawn once or twice a week! A lucky boy you are!
