Neither. There is a middle way between these two extremes. Love and respect for all. More pay for innovation, long hours, responsibility, rare gifts than for drudgery. If you were the employer and all your staff were your brothers and sisters, wouldn't you still pay the one who had the best ideas for your business's prosperity much more than the one who only chipped in to wait tables at peak hours and otherwise hung around on street corners?
