Back again. Something is bothering me today.

    The lack of motivation apparent in "young" people in the workforce these days.  (By young, I mean mid 30's and younger, but not exclusively.)

    It seems to me that an employer has to almost give step by step instructions to these employees, and then babysit them every hour of the workday in case something out of the ordinary comes up and the list doesn't cover it. Whatever happened to personal incentive, or the good "old fashioned work ethic" where you did your job the best you could and then looked for ways to do it even better. Employees like that are few and far between these days.  The "new fashioned work ethic" seems to be to do as little as possible, then find a way to do even less.

     Maybe this generation had it too easy growing up. Maybe they had everything handed to them on a platter. Maybe my generation screwed up by wanting to give our children a better life than we had, and not exposing them to any work ethic at all while growing up. Whatever the cause,  there is a problem out here in the "real" world.

    That's  it for now.
