I want you to look at the Mets and Knicks front office and try repeating that again with a straight face.

When buying things I used to just throw away the warranty card as stuff never broke.
Now i always send in the registry card and get the extended warranty on some expensive things.
Very few take pride in their work anymore.

Then when you need to exercise the warranty YOU have to ship the product to the manufacturer out of state, not bring it back to the store where it was purchased.

Why should they take pride in their work? Work hard, pay taxes, support your family. Oh, I almost forgot....also support those that would rather not work. There's not a heck of a lot of motivation for people to really work hard in this country. A half-assed effort at most jobs nowadays is enough to keep someone employed. If they get fired it's no big deal. They either move on to another job that rewards mediocrity or someone else can support them.

Some of this stems from the "no child left behind" philosophy IMO. If you get fired sue the employer for discrimination, another alternative strategy, that puts fear in the employer's eyes to not fire someone.

I think it's because most blue-collar employees realize that management views them as little more than dispensable losers. If they do a good job, they will get no raise or promotion or decent benefits, and if they do a lousy job they can look forward to the same.
