Well, I have trouble accepting it.
Maybe it's just my own problems, but I expect that if someone wants me to give a fat rat's *ss for company values, needs, and goals, they need to be supportive of the importance of the individual employee's values, needs or emotions. If I don't feel cared about, I find it hard to care.
When things like what you describe happen to me, I feel like dumping my work on their doorstep and taking a hike.
You know the funny part is that I'll work my little heart out under the right circumstances...
I guess they expect that employees should just be happy with their paycheck, and as my therapist says, use that money to find satisfaction and happiness outside of work. What outside of work, I ask? We spend most of our time *in* work.
How is the job market for what you do? I was looking in the want ads yesterday and was extremely discouraged. It kind of looked like I could jump from one frying pan to another, or else earn nearly nothing.
