I'm not saying that Ass-kissing and backstabbing are at all new, or that the three positive concepts are extinct. But pride, competence and reliability can no longer be a safe expectation from companies/employees. These concepts are slowly being removed from the workplace just like 'courtesy and acceptance of personal liability' are being removed from society.

The tragedy is that the bulk of society, the media and politicians accept (and in many cases promote) these changes.
