Not limited to the UK by any means. There were some classes I missed at University which taught one how to turn sharpening a pencil into a 30 year career in the US. Often wondered how they could accept a pay check.

:rofl:

I wondered why I kept coming across people sharpening pencils in Philly especially when we all worked with computers in a paperless office.

Some people have no shame or sense of pride in their personal contribution.
I find it very sad that people can be so detached from life to think that it is just about what they can get out.

"I find it very sad that people can be so detached from life to think that it is just about what they can get out."

Yep, that's the name of the game with upper management in this country. The public sector is a fine example, where it's not uncommon to see the rules being seriously bent, those lower down the chain having their rights under law denied etc. Shockingly, lying through one's teeth is a common tactic.....all just to protect that big fat juicy pension or that amazing post retirement consultancy deal. I often think, if there is a divine, some people must surely be in for a thoroughly deserved rough landing.

"what they can get out".....Murdoch's mob spring to mind; get the story before anyone else by whatever means. It's so blatantly obvious.
