I take pride in my work and follow one of the best bits of advice my mum gave me when I first entered the workforce-"no matter what your job or position, always give your employer good value for their money". Often all I see is "take what you can get and if you can screw over the company at the same time it's a bonus".
Luckily these people are in the minority, but can be so disruptive to those around them. And the company as a whole when it's a small operation.
Don't want to get into a never-ending debate on it-just saying what I've seen.
