Yep ,you’re exactly right! It’s the “I deserve it even though I did nothing for it” attitude.
I find the quality of workmanship has gone down. I have a hard time finding ONE person to do a job. Usually it's hire one person and then another and another to either fix what the first person did, or finish their job. They show up when they feel like it but when it comes to being paid, they show up daily.
I thought the problem was me, till I spoke with someone who was looking at my work. He said people are no longer proud of their work like they were in the old days. Today it's a throw away society, nothing is made to last. It's all done for the quick buck.
