It's not because I don't agree with what you say. It's because you aren't ADDING any reality to the conversation. You are only speaking about an idealism that's not ever going to happen. I agree with you that it would be best, but it's unfortunately not ever going to happen because that's the nature of paying wages to do a job.
As I was walking to work today I saw something that made me think about this thread. I walked past a BMW Roadside Assistance vehicle with a man hunched over the rear wheel replacing a flat tire in the gutter of the sidewalk. The BMW owner was standing by the roadside talking on their cellphone. Traffic at the base of the Williamsburg Bridge in NYC is nothing to sneeze at it's noisy, congested, lots of pollution.. it's shitty working conditions.
This man has to drive from stranded driver to driver and do something that the driver doesn't want to or cannot do. People are willing to pay for service, and they have every right to get that service they paid for. That person changing the wheel he doesn't do a good job, thus the person paying for the service doesn't get what they paid for and they complain that the service isn't worth the price etc. We all complain at one point in time or another about bad service...
I would love for there to be those shoulds in the world, they SHOULD let you have fun, they SHOULD give you more than a 2% raise, etc. etc. etc. but welcome to the real world, it's not the way it is. I'm not saying that one should not strive to bring awareness or change, but to just point and wag your finger without constructive methods or experience to add to this and other discussions is why you've earned the ignore spot.
