Cogs in a wheel or Linchpins in a well oiled machine

Managers and Employers can't treat employees like cogs in a wheel but then expect those employees to treat their jobs like some special privilege which they should be honored to have received. Not anymore.

If employers insist on treating employees as replaceable parts they'll need to create jobs and expect results that are obtained by...replaceable parts, and they'll need to get ready to keep replacing them, over and over again.
But when employees are treated as individuals, with freedom and creativity, they feel privileged, and guess what, they start acting that way too.
