Working for someone should mean...This is right on. Working for someone should mean that you do everything you can to benefit that person while you're working. You are not there to sneak things from the employer or take advantage of the employer to benefit someone else, but to serve the employer the best you can. A job is not a right; it's a privilege and a responsibility to your employer. In exchange for pay, you agree to represent the person's best interests -- whether that be the taxpayers' interests if you're a teacher -- or whether that be the ice cream shop owner's interests if you're a server. People often confuse their responsibilities as workers with what they consider to be rights -- like the "right" to a job or the "right" to free ice cream for themselves or for the customers they serve. An ice cream server at an ice cream shop will think she represents the customer's interests, not the owner's, or the teacher at a school will think she represents the children she teaches, not the taxpayers who are also the parents. Similarly, Congressmen need to know that they represent us, the voters, not the special groups they serve. While we as voters may be happy to occasionally help out special groups through our representatives, we still expect our representatives to account to us, not to the special groups.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838165612273997553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052421227403333133.post-2247760630477670842011-03-18T08:30:17.715-04:002011-03-18T08:30:17.715-04:00More relevant now than before!More relevant now than before!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
