Quote:See, its folks like yourself who I have no sympathy for, if you walk off the job because of insubordination.. In this economy, there's literally hundreds of people all applying for that one position, and if you're too prideful to keep that position, then I guess you simply don't need that position. I'm sure UPS has thousands of applications on file to fill those 250 jobs in a day if they needed to.. So, go grab your unemployment.. Oh wait, can't even get that because you'd be fired for walking off the job.. Well, i hope you were good with your money then or have been saving, if not, you could always use a large UPS box to live in and I'm sure someone has directions to the nearest soup kitchen.. Enjoy..

Thats a great assumption. Lets leave at this, there are some people I'd love to sit and have a beer with, discuss, debate and just shoot the breeze. There are other that I'd rather not, like weak kneed, selfish types who assume waaay too much, make generalzations and think only of themselves. You have zero sympathy for anyone except your chosen few, that, you've made clear. I can guarantee you, I have been in the work force longer than you, and can also guarantee you that you wouldnt be a co worker I'd want around me. You can say the same. 

As for privilege to work, there are also workers rights. You dont care about that as long as you can keep your nose up the bosses [BLEEP]. Collective bargaining vs Collective begging. Some lead, some follow. Some grovel and take what they can get. Others may fight to make things better...for themselves and their co workers, and ultimately their families. All their families. And when one family suffers, they all chip in, and not think, welp, not MY problem.

As for you privilege to work, its also a privilege and not a right for a company to have good workers. You have to earn those. In the end, when and if something happens to those like you on the job and theres no one to turn to, you can just look in the mirror, because goober smooching will only carry you so far.

We can discuss the economy as you mention, and why it is the way it is, but it may be a little too complex.
