Well, I'll tell ya. The problem with this last one was that she did NOTHING. Thought she should get paid to sit on a stool and talk on her cell. Third shift is the shift that does all the cleanup work. So, you can imagine what it would be like to come in and find that not only had she not done anything (this would be after 4 days off the shift), but that first shift (which is VERY busy) had to at least do the basic sanitation that was not touched the night before.
foe, as to your boss who is behaving inappropriately, in front of WITNESSES no less, I say that you need to do something about that. I don't give a damn what sex the other party is, harassment is harassment, and illegal in the workplace. YOU don't need to tolerate that shit.
No, this lack of work ethic is certainly not restricted to younger ones than me....but I can tell you from observation is it prevalent among that age group, more so than older age groups.
