I was just trying to figure out; WHEN THE F$#K DID WE ALL START THINKING JUST FOR OUR OWN SELF INTERESTS?!!! After reading some of the replies to posts it seems the general attitude is f5ck everyone else I'm out just for me. What ever happened to loyality and consistency? Just wondering. Not that it's always wrong, but hey what the f55k?

Loyal to whom? I hope When I decide to be loyal to someone that they have my best interest in mind. Look what loyalty did for the Germans with Hitler. Life is a two way street. The owners are not as a general rule looking out for your best interests so watch where you place your loyalty. Be true unto yourself. If you don't you won't be any good to any one else any way. Selfishness is not always bad. I think honesty, integrity and a positive outlook are things we should look for not just in our employees but our employers as well. Peace

You have to be loyal to your self, family and those that are loyal to you.

Everyone else gets back what they give.

I second ScrewedSous's sentiments!!! If you don't take care of you first; nobody else will!!!

Whats Loyalty got to do with doing a good job.

I do the best I can in everything I do for myself, and no one else. The pride I have in myself and my self worth demand it.

If your only doing a good job so you'll get a pat on the back of a raise forget it you will be disapointed more times than not.

Do the best you can for yourself.

Where does the lawyer thing come in? Stories you've heard? Well the same holds true for this and all fields.
You must always look out for yourself first. You can be persuaded, brainwashed, misguided, cohersed sp? etc. You can only be loyal to yourself.

As in "To thine on self be true" or " Do one to others before they do one to you"?

By ImDaChef on Wednesday, August 29, 2001 - 10:01 pm: Edit

I was raised, treat others as you wish to be treated. That much still holds true with my attitude towards people. But that was also a time before road rage, "going postal" and other such malady's that affect our society. I'll give most everyone a chance but I always gotta look out for me and mine first. You can't depend on anyone else to look out for you. If you've got people in your life that do that, then you're a blessed individual. But that doesn't mean that folks are allowed to walk all over you and crap on you when they feel like it.

Dogs are loyal. The rest of us have to work.

Most of us are working like dogs!

Man Chris, you gotta get a grip. Your living to work, you must work to live. We spend a large portion of our days in the kitchen but it should be a small part of our outside lives.

Pan,I think Chris is over the edge! he's beyond help, & he's got kids!!!

Of course I'm over the edge. I've been doing breakfast for 80 staff at 6;00, Ala carte for 120 guests at 7:00, Kid's lunch for 30 at 11:30, first staff lunch at 11:45 teen lunch at 12:00 second staff lunch at 12:30 adult lunch at 1:00 kid's ddinneer at 5:45 teen and staff dinner at 6:00 passed at 6:30 adult dinner at 7:30. All of this with a sous a baker and a dinner chef. Every meal is different and from scratch, except for the staff meals. over the edge maybe, tired; yes. But only four weeks to go and then it's rest time.
