...I was raised to look at someone who clocks out each day after a certain bell rings regardless of the work on the table as lazy and uncommitted.

I was raised to understand that it's not how long you take doing a job that matters, it's how efficiently you do it.
I was raised to understand that a happy workforce is a productive and profitable workforce.
I was raised to treat my employees fairly and not like some cheap commodity.
And I was raised to understand that people who spend their life at work tend to be shallow, self-centred workaholics who should spend more time with their families, friends and relations because regardless of how much money you earn you can't buy time back and you can't make up for not being there.
Parents expose you to the good and the bad in themselves, I choose to remember and emulate the good.
