The right thing to do

Someone once wrote (or said) that your character is defined by what you do when no one is looking. Why do some cooks find it so difficult to just do the right thing if for no other reason than that it is the right thing to do? I guess it all comes down to an inherent work ethic, but why is it so hard to care when I am not there? Just because I am not Charlie Trotter and I don't sign the paychecks, does that make it okay for you to do just enough to keep from getting suspended or fired? Am I really to blame for not suspending or firing you yet? I think that might change on Thursday.
