It's got a lot to do with politics and supply and demand too. The current Conservative led Government are weakening employees rights and, rightly or wrongly, in the current economic climate, employees need their employer a lot more than they need them.

How else do you think that the Government are able to freeze pay, reduce pension provision and make redundancies?

I have 133 people in my department, and I don't expect them to be thankful I employ them, I just expect a fair day's effort for a reasonable reward - I hope they enjoy and appreciate their work, but I don't expect gratitude or them to be thankful.
Would you tolerate the attitude that Arthur was exposed to, including rudeness and being made to feel uncomfortable in his own home?
