  • According to a new survey ... 1 in 5 executive leaders agree with this statement: "No one wants to work".

    So, 4 in 5 executive leaders DO NOT agree with this statement, yet the message in the media is that "dammit, no one wants to work!".

    Peak journalism.

  • Most people that say “people don’t want to work anymore” typically don’t themselves do any work

  • It's me, I don't want to work anymore.

    • I would love to just be a stay at home dad and keep the house clean, do chores, and cook meals for my family. Is that too much to ask?

      • I love cooking and baking and would do the same.

        If money were somehow not an object, i would also be free to work on my friends and families houses too, or even say a library or school in the community with the skills i have, contributing to the community that way. If i were doing it for people or something i cared about, it wouldnt feel like work.

  • My boss has been looking for new technicians since I joined but has had no luck. His excuse is the classic "Nobody wants to work", but then I saw what he's paying for entry level for the positions. It's so low you're better off working at McDonalds or slinging Amazon packages bad.

  • I like the the 2014 quote from the person as a teenager. Makes me think they and their peers worked hard, went up the ladder, and saw the people on the same rung don’t work hard OR that you see others in the hierarchy as less hardworking no matter where you are.

  • There are always underlying assumptions made by people who support industrial-age work for every human being. Things like... 9 to 5 work schedule (or longer) being compatible with their genetics, year round - winter or summer. Paperwork appreciation, having to fill out job applications often with high amounts of redundancy in the questions and formats. Red tape for getting paychecks and accounting. Dress codes and even uniform requirements. Businessmen preferences for rectangle and high-rise buildings that few other animals from Earth seem to construct or use to build loyal followers.

    With generic randomness alone, I suspect that 20%+ of a population on Pale Blue Dot never fit in with what their local society considers perfectly "normal" conformity and biological needs in industrialized world.

  • My work ethic is to work by myself until i can actually support an employee. Until then, this is my business & my responsibility.

  • It's true, I don't want to work, but I have to work or I'll die of starvation, or exposure to the elements, or some preventable disease.
