What happend to the time when people cared about people?

What ever happend to the day when people cared about other people. I don't just mean your friends and family. I am talking about people you see around your hometown, at the grocery store, the Dr.'s office. Those people. Last week one of Dr's Father-in-lay passed away. We closed the Garner office in the afternoon, drove an hour to Wade to go to the funeral. That Dr. was very touched that we had all taken time to come all that way to show how much we cared. That is the way I was raised. Well, today we all got our pay stubs and we get a time sheet in every pay stub. The office manager(who works in our Raleigh office) docked all of us a half a day for going to the funeral. In the past, when someone had an immediate family member die, the office closed and you went to the funeral. If you didn't go to the funeral, you got docked time off. I mean, it's only $50 or $60 freakin dollars! If the other Dr.'s are hurtin that bad for a measley $50 I will gladly give it to them, but mostly I am hurt that they are so self-absorbed that all they can think about is the money and not see the human side to what we did. It makes me question is this the type of Dr.'s I want to work for. I took a job in Garner because no matter what people may say about the town, we are a close knit group. Garner is just a simple town where people like you not by the car you drive or the house you live in, but by how you treat someone. Those are the things that matter. I know I am on my soap box again, but there is seriously something wrong with the way Americans are being trained to think! When you work for someone who lives in a multi-million dollar house, has two or three other houses in other states, goes off three or four times a year on luxury vacations, and gives you hard time for a measley three hours or $50 dollars it just puts it all into perspective. Seriously quit spending so much time energy trying to make a million dollars and spend more time on yourself and I promise you will be happier!!!! Okay, I'll stop bitching now!
