No one is ever going to give me anything, so I just have to suck it up and get it for myself.
Taking it one step further, the ruthless and ambitious (becoming a norm just to survive) will aim to take as much as possible and give back little or nothing at all, maybe a bit of lip service with some condescension.
Then there's bosses making staff feel they owe them something just for providing a work opportunity in a particular field, or even just providing an income. Bosses wanting their pound of flesh and then some: $1 more for you is $1 less for me.
Being paid regularly an honest wage for an honest days' work is a great thing, anything else and someone's being screwed over.
