HEY! (Yea I yelled, but it's ok)
Yanno, not everyone of my generation are total sh*tballs. I admit we have quite a few but myself as an example...people think I work way too much and focus too much when I am working. Most of the guys I grew up with are the same way. You handled it right, they don't show, it's a no go. BUT I hope you were joking about the latter statement. You will always be missing out on the best and most dedicated. Frankly, adults prior to my generation made a big stink out of the 36 hour work week which became a 40 hour week. Now...if your my generation likely your entire adult life you've never worked less than 50 hours a week and better than half of us have two jobs as it is...life is hard, we are harder. Remember that. I certainly am a little heated about the comment and I can admit that, but then I don't appreciate a fell swoop right off of the hardest working generation in america, statistically speaking we work longer hours and at harder jobs to a lower standard of living than in the living memory of this country and that sir is a fact.
I believe in the following:
Work Ethic, making the most of your work. I believe that by example people will follow what I do, a lazy boss does not a good worker make. We as children of our parents are heavily influenced in workplace ethics by our parents, and there sir is where I have had the worst experiences...hiring out of work people for short term jobs that are older than I am. The 43 year old I had last week I wanted to leave in a dumpster. Worse still the guy before him spent all his time texting when he wasnt carrying something...in front of my clients. His age? 49. He made 9 bucks from me...and I left him at a bus stop. I've had the best luck with guys who are older than college age and younger than forty.
I think you experienced the child of lazy parents...it happens.
