What's crazier to me is the apparent lack of care your coworkers have for the success of the business.
I'm not one to preach hyper-loyalty to a business. I don't believe in having to work off the clock. But once you're in the position where your interactions with partners actually matters, you're beyond just a regular employee, and you SHOULD care.
Wisdom here!
It's the consequence of the current fiat-everything system.
People can't identify the real cause, or even worse, they may be the type that demands exactly the wrong solutions -- but in any case, they feel something's completely wrong with work-life, they feel cheated, and they refuse to participate.
Might this be the effect of the digital age.
We are at a time where it's impossible to escape. Difficult to find time to one's self. Sensory overload.
Maybe the result is a move toward introversion?
I think if you ask any of your coworkers who did not want to stay to socialize, they'll tell you it's not part of their job, they don't get paid to do that, they don't owe it to the company for what they get paid and so on.
People are more social and interact with more people than ever before in history.
