we are slobs

Not all of us are this way. The ones that are slobs are definitely an embarrassment though.

 

Good Morning. this type of thing will get better with time. Out with the old in with the new. A whole new thought process is coming into this industry and attrition will take care of the slob.

 

I'm not so sure about that.....just based on what i've seen out here

 

The more people that enter into this profession with our mind set, things will change. The old way will slowlly disapear or evolve.

 

but that in itself is the problem.....it all boils down to how people are raised and coming from a background where I managed over 200 people of all ages, I see alot lacking in the younger generation in terms of work ethic, personal responsibility and basic common courtesy and respect.

There may be a few older hands coming in from other industries as I did, but in general the attitude and mindset of people in general is much worse as the years go on.

those who, as you say, have 'our mindset' who were raised by parents who got it and taught us the right way from the wrong way, are sadly in the minority anymore.

 

I agree with you, and I can see from your stats we are about the same age and generation Xers. This new generation is what we produced, generation yers. It is the instant generation everything they know has been instantaneous right at their fingertips their whole life. As an example we look at three years as short they look at it as a life time. We grew up with Snail Mail they grew up with IM, Email, Internet. Both of my kids were raised by two parents but in reality they were raised by the information age, and now we have to adapt or be pushed aside.

 

Not trying to be disrespectful I just see it differently. Yes there will always be the slobs, but I see allot more good than bad.

 

Spend some time on the road that will change..
