Re: SUCCESS
Was just having a discussion on this today.
I left school at 15 and was working as a counter jumper in a supermarket within two weeks. five years later I was the store manager and another five I was the retail divisional manager in charge of 16 stores and 600 employees.
worked bloody hard to get what I have and I'm not rich by any means but I have enough to get by and help my family if need be.
Our discussion was about todays generation thinking they are owed a living without putting in the hard yards.

Re: SUCCESS
The argument about hard work is valid up to a point. I think that the end point is where there are no jobs to work hard at because the jobs have disappeared ( and we know where and why )

Re: SUCCESS
Next time you get a call from an Indian or Philippines call centre, Ross, you could reflect on that question.

Re: SUCCESS
Some might say it is to make mega profits by exploiting cheap labour, others might say Australian workers have made themselves too expensive for business to be viable ( whatever viable means ) Take your pick

Does that mean we have ourselves an election
Either way = more profits.
