Talking to a friend about his employees, him saying they just go through the motions and seemed to have no pride in the tasks set them. Is this a general thing, do people not take pride in their work anymore?
I left school at 15, semi illiterate, so my choice of jobs was limited. Got a job as a packer at Liberty's, and although it was without promotion it wasn't without progression. I would have rather not worked, but back then you couldn't survive on unemployment benefit so I had to bite the bullet. The things I packed were expensive and pretty unique so that was a bonus, and for that reason I started to take care regarding presentation. Every fold anded up perfect, the stuff that had to be gift wrapped became highlights of the day, and I thought about the joy of the receiver when they saw how well there package was wrapped. After about a month, I stopped looking at the clock...I was a packer, but the best packer I could be.
