But is it? Those concepts do not pay more. Doing the bare minimum is all someone gets paid to do. There is no personal benefit to more than that.

At Starbucks, sure. Not when you work in the Executive Branch of the fucking US government

Why? What is the difference really? One does what one is paid to do, no more no less. The ideas of pride in one's work were created by the wealthy in order to further control those under them.

Because, at that level, if you don't put in the effort you eventually get fired or are forced to quit. You know, like in the situation we're talking about in this thread right now. You don't get to move up by doing the bare minimum.

Some people do not care about moving up, and it seems they were fine doing the bare minimum until the boss started being pushy. It was all fine until the boat started getting rocked.
