Amen. Show up early, work hard, be polite, and stay late. It’s not complicated.
My 3 kids (28 to 31) show up on time, work hard, cut their breaks short and work late if stuff needs to be done. They are generally polite, but also will stick up for themselves if necessary. One is more vocal about it than the others - but she has also been asked by management “Tell me more, what do you think can be done better.” She’s just in retail, so its no big shakes, but she is getting noticed in a good way.
All three of them are, so that’s all I can ask. (Well, I did ask my smart son to become a doctor, but...)
