Finally have catch words for a phenomenon that's been rubbing me the wrong way for years. Mean culture - read that in an article by Barbara Coloroso. I would like to add greed culture. Just back from an e-learning conference in which, I swear, one got the feeling the organizers felt the only reason anyone would attend a session was the chance to win a door prize for sticking around. What has happened to us? Why do even well-paid professionals feel they need to be bribed to make any activity meaningful? Why do people gamble and dream about winning the lottery as if that's their only hope of happiness? Why is "enough" a dirty word?
