Interesting. And this is the private sector, right? Because I am a late Boomer and my understanding had always been that it was Slackers like you and even more so Millennials of course that killed the business work ethic.
Yes, private sector. Over the years I’ve been promoted several times by older experienced supervisors, and now simply slipped into low gear and work like a token ROAD (retired on active duty). I didn’t kill the work ethic; affirmative action did - it put race/gender over merit/competence. If I wasn’t worth my salt, I’d be out of a job - but nobody wants my job (it involves work).
