Envy does not come into play here.  I fact, I'm in pretty good shape all around and have no "wants" save for my kids' welfare. I have been in the "Business World" for Decades and the quantity/quality of many, many "Executive Decisions/Directions" I've witnessed resemble a "New Product Development" illustration I saw years ago:  a large-mouthed Funnel filled to the brim with "ideas" and a very, very small trickling of something useful emerging from the spout; of new Exec-Staff's coming on-board with new "initiatives" (and their respective astronomical costs)... only to eventually fade away (very quietly, I might add). Gas at the Pumps, Food on the Shelves, Electricity in through the "Weather-Heads";  generally due to (1) employees in the "trenches" doing the work, (2) supervisory employees that've done the work and are now mentoring, monitoring and evolving the protocol and (3) management who's role should be to remove obsticles and/or facilitate improvements.   I dare say the sense of entitlement resides more in Business' Ivry Towers than in the field.  eg: BP's "Boss" during their catastrophy being quoted that he wanted his life back; such life exampled by his furlow to watch his Yacht Race.[/QUOTE]
