That's some good medicine. always cures hunger and some do make people sleepy so they can rest more which does help i guess lol

I know many people feel inclined to cut corners these days and sometimes seeking easier ways to do things works well,

sadly this is true. There's a lot of things marketed out there "get this fast" "get rich fast" and people are getting baited into it. Even for crypto, people have this ridiculous expectation they can be a millionaire easily which I feel is an illusion. Even though crypto does produce millionaires that means there's also people losing millions.

Another great example of cutting corners is chatgpt. People using it to write their assignments ; wish i had ai to help me with my assignments, not write but maybe assist in giving ideas. I guess part of all this cutting corners is due to technology making things faster and easier for us which could be making us complacent as well.

However, many do not do this, they just expect more and more without remuneration or reward of any kind. I believe that's where people become disgruntled and the entire system then breaks down.

Yes there are companies that are greedy and won't want to give out a little bit of numeration or reward but this is their downfall sometimes. Some companies are disgusting though and they will just milk the employee out of all their value especially those that are "interns". There's a lot of cases now where interns are pretty much doing the same thing as a full time employee but getting "intern pay". Anyways these companies will lose their people that know their worth and if they are a super capable person; they would have no problem finding a new job.

There's nothing like an "I appreciate the additional effort, here's a dinner or movie voucher," right?

Yes there really is nothing like this. Something so simple actually goes a long way. People love compliments and getting acknowledgement even the most humble people.

you're welcome and I will have a great weekend i hope haha. I'm not sick though so that's already a plus!
