You've only had one job though.
Did rampant capitalism kill 'pride in the job'?

You've got to be less earnest. That's the key.

Do you have any people in your office that slack off?

Don't work in an office....you are assuming i do a skilled job..........and yes there are people that slack off.........what's that got to do with me, as long as it doesn't affect what i'm doing that's their lookout imo...

Let's just hope that the rest of your posts are a little more factual.

I really hesitated over the word "office".
Doesn't it ever bother you? It pissed the heck out of me.

yes, none of them are in unions as it happens.

I'm on this thread to explore why there no longer seems to be a sense of "pride in the job".
I'm not here to play silly games.
Forgive me for not playing.

Because they're not in a union? Nice to see some consitency from you here.
I'm surprised at the degree of negative postys on this thread. Perhaps I've been cosseted in some way. I've always taken pride in my work and tried to be as professional as possible. I generally work an extra 10 hours above my contracted hours, sometimes more. It helps that I enjoy my work, I'm a member of a professional Institution and have taken part in activities with them. Also that I work for fairly reasonable employers probably helps. But I've worked for three companies since I left the Army and they've all been from the same mould.

In what way? Emphasise, I ENJOY it. I'm also a line manager for guys doing the same job as me. Not all of them want to do as many hours, but that's fine. I've NEVER seen any problem with anyone feeling forced to do anything. The only problems (personally and with others) have been due to personal reasons, rather than work and everybody have tried to do as much as possible to accomodate them. It's not always brilliant, the company has shrunk quite a bit and had to lay people off. It makes people feel pretty crap for a while, but those still in work recover fairly quickly. I've kept in touch with a few of them and thankfully, because of the skills involved, they've been able to get new jobs. The company funded resettlement training as well as providing over the odds redundancy payments. I seriously can't knock them.
