There are a significant number of workers who are not even trying to better themselves. Some are just lazy, but part of the reason some people are that way is because they see that the game is rigged. A huge percentage of executives spend their time ensuring that they don't get blamed for fired when something goes wrong and ensure the low level employees get the blame.
Why must there be an expectation for every worker to strive to better themselves? Why is it not acceptable for a person to show up to work every day, complete their work, then go home?
In context of the above discussion there is a general idea that fewer people are trying to get better at their job or career, leading to lower quality work as fewer people are trying as hard as before.
I'm not saying those people are wrong for not trying harder or should be trying to meet my expectations, it is their lives to do with what they want.
