I was once in (doesn't matter what shithole country it was) and we was struggling to get on a flight because the queue was disorganised and staff wasn't moving us fast enough.
This was the breaking point for a guy I was with and he said "I wish one fucking person in the country gave a shit about anything"
And sometimes it does feel like that.
Also worked with another guy that was very quiet and kept to himself and was pretty calm. But he used to say whenever we had an issue "people just got to come in and do their job" (implying the fuck up was due to people not doing their basic job)
Edit: changed my spelling coz I'm retarded (actually am a bit so I'm allowed to use it like the blacks)
Well he's not wrong, nowadays people take very little accountability in what they do. Maybe because there are very little to no consequences for incompetence. And the worst is that it seems proportional to the amount of responsibility required for the job. Take CEOs/Politicians, they can fuck up massively and not even a small fine whilst a cleaner who forgets to clean a surface can get fired on the spot. This "laissez faire" and lack of leadership by example puts democracies at risk. It turns populist/extremist political parties into very attractive options with their promises to "clean the swamp" which seems to keep on growing..
If I do an amazing job and the company ships another 10k widgets, I don't see an extra dime.
