It seems that with all the corruption seen on TV and in the movies, and the perceived lack of need of trust, ie, it's "cooler" to lie, that those being influenced by the media don't think they need to be trustworthy any more. They don't see the importance of it anymore. Thanks for this post showing the importance of it! Remember the old saying, "A man's word is his bond." How many people does that still apply to today? One item to add to your first list: If there is a conflict within your office or your family, if you have built up trust with the higher ups/elders, you will be the one who's word is taken as the truth. That can literally save your job at times! Or save you from an unwarranted punishment of some kind. I've actually been in that situation - where my word was taken over someone else's as truth. (Someone who was trying to undermine me at a previous job) And you are right, it takes time to build that trust, but thank goodness it had been built! And too bad the raise and promotion stuff does not follow when you are in a union job :( One reason I am soooo happy to be non-union now :) Ah, David – you are renewing my trust in the younger generation!
