Got any recipes for delicious meals I can make with my pride?
I take pride in the stuff I enjoy doing. A job is just a paycheck because I need it.
He wasn't asking you to work for free.
I know. But people will worry about dollars first before they even think about pride.
I find it hard to believe you actually read my comment before demonstrating you are probably one of the people I'm talking about at the end of it.
At no point did I state or imply that workers should be working solely or even primarily for anything other than money.
But if you can't be bothered to take pride in the work you're being paid to do, you shouldn't be paid to do it for long.
I will do my job as well as necessary to keep it in order to keep receiving money. If I could find a job that pays well and made me happier I would.
If you can't find a better job, you should probably appreciate the one you have and not try to skate by with the bare minimum, if for no other reason than you're likely to miscalculate at some point.
That’s just another way of saying work harder for same pay because the company knows they have you by the balls.
No, it's recognizing you have no better alternative so you shouldn't take what you do have for granted, because it's not guaranteed to continue.
"Beatings will continue until morale improves."
People have a working contract and all you have to do is work according to the contract.
