People today are afraid of work

Taking away free food, roof, power, clothes, transportation and heat would restore the motivation and incentive to work. People would be thankful for a job and work hard to keep it.

^Agree!

Maybe they're just tired of corporate slavery.

Whether it's hard work, boring work or just plain old simple work, the people today are ready to complain at the drop of a hat about anything.

I wonder how this country would have turned out if during the industrial revolution they complained the same way. I wonder how this country would have grown and become a superpower if these people had to live back then.

Assembly lines where you did nothing but the same thing day in and day out. You got hired but you weren't the manager within a month. Street sweeping, lamp lighting, dirty jobs cleaning up horse shit all day.

They have the old saying, work hard, play hard. Except today these kids just want to play hard without any of the work. They want to get a job making $50,000 a year from the start, have no real responsibilities, no desire to sweat and then they want to be in charge after a month.

They don't want to earn what they have they want it to be given. Guess what, real work is sometimes hard and painful.

I've done home maintenance, apartment maintenance and hotel maintenance. It is all hard work where you can get hurt. Try working on a car for a living. Do some plumbing or maybe some electrical work. Try building something out of wood. I once worked at a wine making factory. I did the same thing everyday all day. I got my 30 minute lunch and that was it. I didn't complain about how hard it was or how dangerous it was. I didn't complain about not getting paid enough or not having benefits. I was happy I had the job.

These kids today are afraid of hard work, dedication, sweating, blooding and everything else that goes into a hard job. They want to sit back and do as little as possible for as much as possible and if you tell them that's not how it works. They look at you as if you have done them wrong and the complain that you are holding them back, that the job is unsafe, boring, to hard, unfair and doesn't pay enough for the work they are doing.

One of the best things about being retired is, now I don't have to find employees that will actually work. The real workers are retiring, like me. What's left are the younger people that do just enough to get by, on a good day. Most applicants were not willing to get out of bed to come to work, or they couldn't pass a piss test. It was not unusual to call three or four people before finding on that could start to work. Then you have a 50% chance that one will actually try to do the job.

Thank God I an retired!

Why not just house the workers in dormitories at the factory and feed the at the factory store, hell take it out of their pay. Ungrateful shits would be homeless and starving otherwise!

Can you see yet?

Its all about motive, incentive

There is no motive.

Its hard to get excited about 40 hrs a week and $15/hr.

There is no future in that, its just existence.

Who wants to work hard to just exist.

Isn't that the promise of technology? Less work more time?

Thoreau proved existence doesn't require much, so why work hard at it?

If you want people to work and care about their work give them something to care about, to invest their time in. Compensate them fairly and reward them for hard work.

Don't dangle carrots, duh!

Side note.

I worked delivering pizzas when younger. Only the drivers wanted the business to be busy. All the cooks, phone people etc wanted business slow, easy. Why? Because the driver's pay was directly affected by business volume, but the cooks pay was not.

So who do you think cared more about the business the cook or the driver?

would you give that same speech to the career politicians,
celeberties <- don't give a shit how it's spelled, silver spooned kids, and everyone else that fits the bill.

Bullshit, people don’t want to be slaves or treated as such is what you meant. That’s all this planet is, slave planet. And all the wrong people are running things. Bosses today want to treat people like crap so that’s what people give back, crap.

shut the fuck up boomer
