Common courtesy, decorum and a prevailing sense of personal responsibility are lost in these frothy times of high demand and inflated economy (i.e. the fast train to DoucheVille). But one day this economy is going to correct in earnest and all these allusions of grandeur are going to give way to some harsh realities. Being too-cool-to-act-professional is going to make a lot of mustaches sad.
Effective smart people are humble and kind (like Matz). Blowhards are insufferable douchebags and no amount of fake rebellion against 'professionalism' is ever going the change that.
- hjhjhj 15y agoSorry, maybe I should elaborate. Professionalism is the act of work for pay. Exactly what you just denounced. I've worked for many places where we joked about being "professionals" simply due to the fact that we were being paid. The term "professionalism" is a dinosaur that has nothing at all to do with quality or attitude or really anything beyond someone paying you.
