I think you read a lot more into this than I did. Maybe it's because I've been indoctrinated into the silly value-providing member of society camp, but I don't really see how it's possible to disagree with this article.

I mean, if you disagree with the premise that a job should provide value to your employer, then how do you think the job market is supposed to work? What's the opposite? Are you supposed to go find a Job Tree and wait for a Job to fall off so you can support a family?
