This is the TempEye° Work Ethic, and it is based loosely on Mike Rowe's WORKS contract. We ask employees that can not agree to this,to work elsewhere.
Agreement
- I have won the greatest lottery of all time. I am alive. I walk the Earth. I live in America. Above all things, I am grateful.
- I am entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Nothing more. I understand that "happiness" and the "pursuit of happiness" are not the same thing.
- There is no such thing as a "bad job." All jobs are opportunities, and it's up to me to make the best of them.
-
I do not "follow my passion," instead I bring it with me. Any job can be done with passion and enthusiasm.
- The best way to distinguish myself at work is to show up early, stay late, and cheerfully volunteer for every crappy task there is.
-
All people are created equal. All people make choices. Some choose to be lazy. Some choose to sleep in. I choose to work my butt off.
- I am a product of my choices – not my circumstances. I will never
blame anyone for my shortcomings or the challenges I face. And, I will never accept the credit for something I didn't do.
- The most annoying sounds in the world are whining and complaining. I will not make them. If I am unhappy in my work, I will find a
new job, or find a way to be happy.
- The world is not fair, and I'm OK with that. I do not resent the success of others. The best way to help the poor, is to not be one of them.
-
My education is my responsibility, and critical to my success. I am resolved to learn as much as I can, from whatever source is available to me. I will never stop learning, and I understand that Library Cards are free.
-
I deplore debt, and do all I can to avoid it. I would rather live in a tent and eat beans than borrow money to pay for a lifestyle I can't afford.
- As an able body person, it is my responsibility to eschew welfare, unemployment insurance and handouts in general.
- My safety is my responsibility. Following instructions does not mean I’m out of danger. I must think for myself.
On my honor, I hereby affirm the above statements to be an
accurate summary of my personal world view, and that I promise to live by them.
