With the guys I know its not so much just wanting a check as it is what we will put up with anymore to get that check.
These weekly meeting I go to, we usually have 12-15 people around the table, 2/3rd of them doing the same stuff as me, just in various areas. The "regular staff" are sitting there with their speech policies and dress polices and thought policies and how to wipe your azz policies, pulling off stupid crap like "lets all do stretch exercises to wake up" (frack off, that's what coffee is for) or play some inane game from 3rd grade to make a point or some equally dumb-ass crap that makes us just want to choke the crap out of them. We are just looking at each other like they have grown 3 heads.
I am sitting there thinking to myself "would I REALLY put up with this crap for 8 or 9 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week just for a bit of money ?"...and the answer is OH, HELL NO !!! 2 hours of this sheet is all I can handle and even THAT is pushing it. Go the frack away. The meetings may be my main source of new contacts and leads, but I pay a hefty price to get them.
It would be like they want you to run that fence crew...but you have to wear ballet slippers, a pink tutu, a unicorn horn and sing "mary had a little lamb" while doing it !!....It just aint worth it most times. And getting less and less each day.
