How many people just come to work to "punch the clock", and how many people work for a company to make a difference and help the company be successful. I'm beginning to understand why many businesses fail, whether the businesses are start-ups or older. I've seen a trend since I've gotten older, of workers in America becoming lazy and content, and only working at a job to "get paid". Don't get me wrong, I believe we should "work to live" and not "live to work". While we're working, however, we should give our employers all they pay for, and do everything in our power to help the company succeed. After all, if the company fails, the paycheck stops. I'm tired of working with more and more people who only show up to "get paid". Get off your lazy behinds, people, and start making a difference. Owners and bosses, get tough, and make an example out of a few, and see the change.
I just heard this:
When one employee was told that 300 units needed to be processed today, she stated that she could do 200. Then turned to her co-worker after the supervisor left and said, "If we do 300 today, then they'll know we can do it every day. If all we produce is 200 every day, that is all they will expect." Wow! Really? Too bad the owners of the company didn't hear them say that. This is just one example of what I am talking about. Good grief!
