And then there are the people on this planet. Yes, I am staring down the barrel of 50, with that I had parents that demanded I was respectful of the human race. That I did not trample on others just to get what I wanted. You had to work to get anything, parents job was not to give their kids EVERY SINGLE THING little Johny wanted. You waited your turn you ate what you were given. There were 5 kids in our family, when in public, any one of us caused trouble ALL of us paid. We had no feeling of entitlement. Our parents went through the depression and then WWII. They lost young friend and family in the war (my Mother`s Aunt lost her husband and 3 sons, in the war) They understood what it meant to be a family, a community and a country.
Now, I am confronted daily with people who obviously were raised on some other planet. They have no respect for anyone else. Their time is much more important that the rest of us. People who are always late are in this category. Some joke, oh you know that person is always late for work, its just the way they are. Really. You talk to them and guess what, they weren`t sitting at home or slept in, oh, they had to do this and do that and go here and there.....So obviously, being at work was very low on their list of things to do. They need the time to go shopping, or drive people somewhere, and since they and their time are more important than everyone else, including the poor sods who show up for work on time and have to wait to Johnny-come-lately shows up to finish their task, they see no need to care the impact on others. They respect no one else. Yet, delay responding to them, don`t answer their email in the second you get it, and you are a bad manager.
