Respect.

I think as a lower worker you have to earn respect, but as a boss you have to lose respect. If you come in as the new guy and expect to be respected that is a joke (coming from a new guy). You gotta work and earn it. Your boss has the respect when you walk in, but can lose it.

I wasn't think exclusively or even primarily of the work world, but yes you are right.
New hire after new hire comes in the endless search for technological competence. Human Resources gets conned again and again on inflated, even fraudulent resumes. And they can talk themselves up like nobody's business. You sit them in front of a computer and ask them to resolve an error. And watch as they prove they not only have no clue, but don't even have the normal problem solving thinking that will get them through a logical attempt or two. 10, 20 networking certificates on the resume. But they're all special, born to lead, and game changers.

I agree, during one of my internships I said I would go get all the water jugs. They responded saying "we can't have the intern do that, we don't treat them that way." I laughed and decided I couldn't work there. I'm sorry, internships are the pledges of the work world. I should have been stapling papers and carrying water jugs. Instead I just sat at a desk and got paid.

One thing is common courtesy. The rest is a myth invented to make some animals more equal than others. I do respect people with arms like this

though.

I haven't read through the responses, so not sure if someone has mentioned this or not, but I think you're confusing respectfulness/politeness with respect.
There is a HUGE difference.
Everyone should be afforded politeness and respectfulness (until they show in some way they do not deserve it).
Not everyone is deserving of respect (/admiration).
If you go around showering respect on everyone, then who really is deserving of the respect you give?
