Great thoughts,all. This is what I had in mind the other day when asking about migrant help. Seems like the statement "Good help is hard to find" is universal and timeless. As this recession, panic,crisis, whatever you want to call it goes toward wherever it wants to go, I think many people in this country will have to define and redefine their own idea of work ethic. No, rusty wheel, I just don't wisecrack about auto workers--my father worked 42 years for GM(as well as farming 80 acres in central Indiana), as did most of my family. I worked GM salary for 32 years as well, so I do have a stake in the bailout issue(some of my retirement check). GM is such a big elephant, and my view was probably more from the tail end than the trunk, so it might be oversimplification to make any sweeping statements, other than this: GM, because of the many people who have worked there, is really a capsule look at America itself. It is the pocket-sized version of our American society. I've seen as many wonderful, decent, hard-working people; and I've seen crooks and scoundrels--equally distributed on the bell curve throughout the ranks from CEO to janitor. Any illness GM has, I'm willing to bet is an American illness. We should be very careful of the cure. I think a wise place to start is to take a look at our own sense of work and financial ethic.
