Aha, I think it goes for some people that they will apply effort and they will reap the benefits through hard work and putting in the time, dedication and hours, but there are others that won't. Why? A sense of entitlement. That I am realising is becoming one of the largest issues facing our society today. They feel that life should be handed to them on a platter with little effort on their part to earn it. Why they feel this way is a mystery to me but no doubt comes down to a very skewed psychology, almost a pathology that they feel life owes them something.
I am seeing it more and more and it's concerning because those are the people that will break down others to feel like they remain superior. I don't think it's healthy especially in a workplace environment let alone a private life scenario. These people often hang on the coattails of others, stealing their credit for hard work and rising through the ranks. It's interesting to note what percentage of CEOs these days are apparently psychopaths. Doesn't bode well.
Credit-stealers and those who feel entitled simply because they exist make me sick, and yeah there's a lot of them. Society promotes mediocrity, (everyone getting a reward on school sports day for instance rather than 1st, 2nd and 3rd), and seeks to create a level playing field for all by lowering standards and ontrol mechanisms for those who excel.

I don't know why it is, when it started and why people put up with it although the latter...I guess lazy assholes who don't want to take ownership and work hard for what they earn are most pleased about this particular thing.
It's all going end in a heap of shite, society I mean.
