About This Quote

Calling a job menial or demeaning it will lower the self-esteem of those doing the work. This will cause them to lose motivation to do their jobs well and could even lead to their work being substandard. Instead, the first thing that should be done is recognize that work is not demeaning and that those who do it are truly proud of their work.
