Today's Rant: Work Ethic.
So, after the holiday season, we're usually pretty busy over on the Natural Side of the plant. My friend and myself usually are the only volunteers to fill in over there and pull some extra hours.
My friend turned down the extra work, because his wife said so. Then, three coworkers decided to go home, so they could watch the Packer game, leaving us short-staffed.
Since when is a football game more important than making a living? Especially a time and a half living? It was instilled in me from a young age to live by the motto 'Make as much money as you can, while you can.' It just blows my mind how many people just don't wanna work.
It seems like when you hear stories about the older generations, all they did was work, that was what their life revolved around. Maybe that's just a stereotype, but I've always considered that old-fashioned work ethic to be the kind of criteria to live up to.
End Rant.
