In a meeting of expectations for the upcoming season, my boss mentioned something about how teens don’t work as hard because they’re just there for the paycheck. It took all my will power to not say “ are you under the impression that if you didn’t pay me, I would be here at all? “
Of course they’re here for a paycheck, as is everyone in the building – if I didn’t need money to survive there’s no way I’d waste my time working here.
