What Happened to Work Ethic?

OK….bit of a rant here, but what happened to good work ethic?  You come to work when you are suppose to, if you are running late you call, you work your 8 hours with a lunch and occasional break, and you go home – thankful that every two weeks or so you get some money for doing so. Sure, there is always an occasional sick day, vacation day, or as I like to call it – mental health day – but EVERY DAY???  2-3 times a week????  And when you return, you have to take a day to catch everyone up on what happened – thus pulling others away from their work, and now NOTHING gets done until…..wait for it…..CRISIS!!  That’s right, crisis mode – when they people haven’t done what they are suppose to and it falls on YOU to clean it up.

Ok…..so really….what happened?  Entitlement, laziness, lack of desire, silver spoon mentality?

I LOVE working, I LOVE seeing the results of a job well done – sometimes I HATE it…..certain days, times, etc. but overall I am greatful.  Then, on the side I get to do what I truely LOVE….all the time….no matter what – photography!!  I always fear that if I turn it into the full time “job” that I will find the same issues as the job I have now.

Life…..it goes on!

Smiles!
