This is not absolutely true. My boss extended my temporary work over the full Summer and management gave me almost $600 in gift cards. This message suggests lazy work attitudes. This is crap.
In my experience, management reacts first when people either refuse to do something as it has got to the point where it affects their health, or they do the thing and end up hitting the wall. I've seen it so many times. So disappointing, but the lesson is that you have to always look out for yourself. That said, I believe in and myself have a strong work ethic. My management however is very inexperienced.
*sigh*
