I don't know how many times I have heard "my family comes first"! Well, without a job what are you going to do to take care of your family, go on welfare? I've never had to do it but I have seen families that did and it wasn't a pretty sight!

 

Over the years of running my own business I don't know how many times I had an employee call in " I have a headache so I won't be in today", I was out until 3:00 am so I'm not feeling well I'll see you tomorrow", "My girlfriends want to go to Niagara Falls and I want to go with them so I won't be in tomorrow........." They didn't care if customers orders weren't being shipped or bills weren't getting sent out. Those were the same employees that were all ticked off when it came time for a promotion or a raise and they didn't get one. The people that got ahead were the ones that took their job seriously, believed that they had a responsibility to the company and to our customers and they earned the promotions and raises. They were also the ones that had job security!

 

So if you really don't care about your job then why would you expect your employer to care about you????????

I read in a book once

 

"life balance is great, when times are great. When times aren't great then you need to work harder. Come in early, stay later, work harder do the things now that will once again give you life balance in the future"

 

As Clampet stated. You can be fired at any time without reason, you may have to be compensated but you can be fired.
