Occupational compromise

Occupational compromises

Why must I always have to lower my expectations with my fellow co-workers?  I have a very good work ethic, why shouldn’t I expect others to at least striving for a better output, for motivation, for a freakin’ pulse!  
There’s so much potential to grow an outstanding business, make money for all, have a sense of ownership, of teamwork.  But I can’t trust people to do the simplest tasks, not because I don’t think they can do it, but because they don’t care.  I’d rather have someone that knows nothing about the job but cares about doing it, trying it, than someone that does know the job but has no personal investment in a successful outcome.
I’m tired of playing to the lowest common denominator.  It’s aggravating to always downwardly adjust my expectations.  
I have great ideas, eager to share them, implement them … but with the drones we have now, well … it might as well be bag of duck feet.  I wish I could spread ‘work ethic’ like some kind of corporate pandemic.   It’s just a disease too many workers have vaccinated themselves against.  
I’m climbing up scree.
