Why is that wrong NCB??????

As a 9-5'er I take great offense to what you just said and most of the people I know and work with take pride in their jobs..
Youre not taking into account the perspective from the labor supply/demand side of it. Employers shouldnt have to pay for someones lifestyle for just showing up. Its the workers responsibilty to earn his keep, not the employers. Its really that simple
