Like we don't know what industry standard is.
Do you?
Just the fact that some are arguing that whoever finds this policy ridiculous is "Holier than thou" tells me that the separation of the classes on this profession in the US has created an impression of industry standard that is distorted.
In my business I roll around the floor cleaning, fixing whatever needs to be fixed, from an electrical outlet to a toilet...., I'm not afraid of back breaking work, my father is 79 and although he is retired and has done very well economically, he still gets up at 5:30 every morning and goes to work on something...., a rocking chair was not invented for him. I learned a strong work ethic from him and try to give the same example to my kids.
But one thing is to work hard....., another is to belittle your profession for the "bottom line" of a corporation that really thinks very little of you as it is.
