Being into surplus, I've had a lot of contact with warehouse workers and
the like. Many simply do not have the smarts or skills to do much more.
Their world revolves around a forklift and watching baseball or football.

Loyalty is a two-way street. The concept of an extended family which
includes the employer as in Japan, is totally foreign in US business. If
the contract ends, most are out the door.

Unbtil recently, anyway.
