As employees, we are all given specific duties and carrying out these duties provides us with a great sense of responsibility.
[Our employees] do it not because we pay them more, but because they want to be part of something.
I still enjoy what I do. I haven't been playing much golf and none since I dislocated my shoulder, but I come to the office every day.
Do your job and do it right, life's a ball, TV tonight.
But we made a decision based on the fact that we have been up there a long time and that we feel that the seniority is important to the people of Louisiana.
I used to work at Kroger's. When the store opened, you were there. When I worked in an automobile plant, you punched in. So it showed if you were a minute late. If you have a paid job, you show up.
If you work for a man, in Heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, work for him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents.
There are many stages, but the first step is an absolute given - the fans want blood, sweat and tears for the badge. That is no different in any workplace.
No matter what the provocation, I never fire a man who is honestly trying to deliver a job. Few workers who become established at the Disney Studio ever leave voluntarily or otherwise, and many have been on the payroll all their working lives.
You have to be engaged, or else you're not going to want to show up and go to work.
We treat employees as a member of the family. If management take the risk of hiring them, we have to take the responsibility for them.
I want them to be fully committed to the work place and fully committed to the people they work for.
I'll take fifty percent efficiency to get one hundred percent loyalty.
Here at work, obviously, I make the most money of anyone on the show, so I try to be the first one here and the last one to leave. I have the crummiest office. I try to balance things out, spread it around.
So we have a commitment to the business and to its people.
Passion for work is very important.
During an intense period of lab work, the outside world vanishes and the obsession is total. Sleep is when you can curl up on the accelerator floor for an hour.
At Cisco, I made every decision based on what was good for the company, and that pretty much ruined my marriage and my health.
Most people don't hold a job for 45 years. They pass on or want to retire. I don't want to retire. My real goal is to do 50 years on 'Sesame Street,' and I only got 4-and-a-half years to go.
I'm away from my family so much doing my job. My family is my motivation for everything, so it's only right that's what you get to see on 'Total Divas.'
