Work Ethic

Why does it seem so hard to find people who will put in a good days work?
My husband has his own business and he has had the worst time finding employees who come to work...come to work on time...have a good attitude...don't cheat/steal on their hours...willing to give and not take. I'm not saying that we all aren't out there to make money but at what cost. No one seems to care about how they represent our business. After several years we finally found a few good employees. It has been one of his biggest challenges and yet rewarding when a person comes in and "fits".
I work in a dental office. There have been the same issues there also. There was a gal who was training and yet never once even came to work on time. It was a joke to her. Well, she never got a good review from us. People like to stretch their time clock and get those extra few minutes of work while they are visiting. Spending time making personal phone calls, taking care of personal business, looking on the internet etc. What a waste.
If every person had to run their own business for a year and keep it running and the employees happy and all the positions full they would soon learn how difficult it can be.
I have noticed that there is a generation of kids believing that they can sit back and it will all come to them. Who needs to work. Someone will give them all they want and need. We are creating a generation of slouches. They all want the best of everything but refuse to get their hands dirty in a real job to have their "everything". We need to get our children back out working and getting their hands dirty. Work is a good thing. Work can give us value. Work can give us ethics. Work can give us self worth. Work is not for sissies.
Peace.
