I'm quite sure every penny of my wages are earned. Maybe that's a little old fashioned, but its how I trained my kids too. I'm so tired of "I don't get paid to do that" well, you don't get paid to complain about your job either. Don't like it? Find a new one!
And now with the job market what it is, you can bet there are lots of people who are willing to put everything they can into being a star employee, even if the job they are doing is several steps "below" what they used to do! Besides, in my experience, the attitude of the staff is a direct reflection of the attitude of the owner/manager/director.
