Economics & Racing Beyond Our Means

[sc321]

I have had the pleasure of working for a Japanense auto transplant company for 18 years, know before many of you start hating me please take a few minutes to read my view. For many decades we as Americans have been living high on the hog without much effort. Workiing for a Japanense company for this amount of time I have seen very big changes and not for the good. When I started their were many Japanense visuable at the plant, with their decrease so has the majority of our work ethic. The Japanense people have a much higher work ethic then we do ( I have seen this during a trip to Japan). I have seen our company become westernized just like so many others, work force wants more and more without giving anything back. What has happened to an honest 8 hours work for and good pay. We pay associates $160 extra a month to show up for work each day, but still people use the system of family leave or bogus medical leave to get out of work. We as a society need to wake up, like someone pointed out others around the world are more willing to bust their *** then we are.
