While I agree with you about people's attitudes, keep in mind that most
employers care even less about the employees.  So, if you were earning
minimum wage and the company you work for doesn't really care about you
other than you showing up, would you care a whole lot?

Granted, there's something to be said for doing something well.  But how
many people just on this list have been burned BECAUSE they did something
well?  How many have seen the guy who is indispensible because he does
his job just poorly enough to keep himself always busy?

Guess I'm just rambling now...
