[quote=SK in CV][quote=ucodegen]I think you are confusing ‘entitled’ vs ‘negotiated’ and ‘promised’. The words do not mean the same. ‘Entitled’ does not imply a contract.. it implies a right free of requirement. [/quote]

what the word “entitled” means:

en·ti·tle
/enˈtītl/
verb

1. give (someone) a legal right or a just claim to receive or do something.[/quote]You are picking at nits again. You can’t eliminate context. As I said, it does not imply contract. It implies a right free of requirement. Did the dictionary definition for entitle say that something has to be accomplished to obtain that right.. no it doesn’t, because entitled has no requirements associated. What is interesting.. in my dictionary, giving someone a legal right is under 3a and b, not 1. There is no quid pro quo with entitled. It is not in exchange for something like labor, building a house, negotiating a sale.

Cute.. taking an email monitoring of a post that I deleted because it had become OBE at that point and trying to ‘recreate’ the deleted post to reply to it…. just couldn’t fake the timestamp. Once a post is replied to.. it can’t be modified or deleted… so this one looks like it was ‘recreated’ to nit pick.

To add: Is an ’employee’ entitled to their salary if they don’t show up? Don’t work if hourly?.. If the word ‘entitled’ applies, there is no ‘if’.
