60 per cent of workers pay for their own office Christmas party
This headline was the subject matter of a recent email received this end as a preamble to a media release. While I understand the well-meaning premise behind the item and the tack it was taking there was a presumption someone other than the customer would ultimately pick up the bill. That's the bit they didn't get to.
That of course gets the mind wandering as to perception versus real. The internet got rolling by mutual consent, as in a reciprocal respect and action by all participants paying forward. Now it has of course degenerated and is dominated by freeloaders. Simply the gimee, gimee, gimee -sponge generation that shout very loudly never contributing in return but expect everything others have earned as if it's their right as well. Another trust lost
If you are using the internet for trade you need to be in the queue in front of your competitors, so a slight of hand is employed to get there. Then when you need to be a bit further up in the ratings with more followers-you buy them. If you want better reviews you just buy them. It's no longer real. Another trust lost.
This sort of attitude spins over into every day events, at one time having an award was deemed to be recognition of a real achievement, a medal for valour, an accomplishment. Similarly, there is the thought your government will give you things, as if it had money and wealth of its own. …»
