It seems that people are generally not rewarded by their employers for good service these days. I know in the company I worked for, "merit increases" were a sham, and as many incompetents rose as sharpies. And as many sharpies were axed due to cutbacks as incompetents.
Training time & funds are cut back, jobs are outsourced, and people "know" that whatever they do, their career and even employment isn't tied to performance - while muckymucks who DO the cutting & raise crushing get big bonuses & perks (which sometimes isn't even enough - leading to corrupt profiteering at the expense of the company & employees).
Would YOU give a ****?
