As painful as it is to admit, your right. We have some serious social issues with the current generation. Things i was raised to believe such as:

-Your job isn't done tell you clean up
-Always do your best, even if its crappy work because its your name and reputation behind what gets done.

Things like that, are disturbingly absent it seems. I hear about it first hand. My father, ex steelworker union man, worked his way up to company foreman. So he's on the other end of the union line now. He's traded in his blue jeans and steeltoe boots, for kahki pants and loafers. The level of craftsmanship he and his coworkers possessed when on the union side, and the level of craftsmanship that is currently on the union side of the line, are very very different, and for the worse.
