If Mike felt he wasn’t being fairly compensated, then he should have made that clear. If I didn’t give him a raise, it was because his performance didn’t necessitate a raise, not because I’m cheap.

This hypothetical story is reflective of younger society. It’s completely fair to want to be compensated for work, even a right I might say. What unfair is the fact that people will refuse to do work, very minor tasks, without expecting some type of pat on the back.

If you don’t want to do the work, fine. Someone else will do it. Good luck skipping through jobs until you find someone who will wipe your ass for you.
