I completely respect your opinion Benny. Everyone deserves to have their own opinion and point of view.
But clearly, you don't fully understand the concept of this particular article.

The main objective here is to find the "Love & Respect" not only from your employers but to your co-workers as well. To be able to find a good and healthy environment to the benefit of both parties.

The world we live in is filled with business matters, objective reasoning, routine schedule and a dull working environment.

They completely forgot there is a different world out there. A world that comprises with honor, dignity, and camaraderie.

We need to be inspired again. That is the secret ingredient to our success and to our happiness.

Perhaps we're really in agreement? Maintaining empathetic, respectful, and close working relationships with one's co-workers is very important.

My earlier comment was strictly about my economic relationship to my employer (the company). I want to warn people off of feeling emotionally beholden to their employers, which I think is a slippery slope.

To clarify, I heartily recommend feeling good about your employer, just not emotionally beholden.

Furthermore, I believe that your employer doesn't want you to feel emotionally beholden either. A good employer should recognize that a healthy relationship between them and the employee involves a measure of emotional distance, and that this distance is essential to maintaining productive and happy employees.
