At work, far too many people try to take as much as they can and give back as little as possible.
Gennadij [26K]
Based on the given statement above, in my opinion and own observation, I would say that I agree. People work because they need to sustain their daily needs, and because of that need, most people try to take as much as they can to support it. Giving back becomes little because there is only little that is left from work too. Hope this answers your question.
