I've always been a good worker, and I always will be. Ya know why? Because that's what I sign up for every time I accept a job. When someone takes a job he/she takes on a responsibility. That is all the reason in the world to do a good job; because by taking the job you implied that you would work hard. I don't need Richard Branson or anyone else to motivate me and neither should anyone else. This attitude of "give me a reason to do a good job" is bullshit. Here's a tip, motivate yourself.

Make the job fun? Mule fritters (thanks Col. Potter)!!!!

Yeah, I've studied management, and yes it is true that a fun, enjoyable workplace will result in more productive employees. However, that doesn't mean it's okay to be a slacker just because work isn't fun.

Here's how it works. You take a job. You work hard. End of story. If you don't like the job, put in your notice and find a new one. In the meantime, live up to your responsibilities.

Incidently, in my experience, these are lessons that people of all ages would do well to learn.
