Perhaps everyone has always felt this way, but what has changed is the amount and cost of things we think we deserve. "I deserve an overseas holiday" - when not too long ago, it was "I deserve to have a day off". Quite a difference.
Yes, you are absolutely right, Sir. Quite a difference.
Needs a vacation, but makes a gaping hole to drain something deeper. You just need a vacation, you don't need something that makes you "tired" due to expensive holidays. Often, it's just a matter of prestige, and no one really needs it.
The use of a division in the beginning to measure the level of need and commit to what the division plans often fails, right?
If I understood what you said correctly - the division isn't the issue, it is the inability to evaluate our own needs in a way that we become active enough to commit.
