“I don’t understand why turnover is so high. Ever since COVID people just don’t have any work ethic. The lockdowns really destroyed our economy in irreparable ways. Wait no, don’t quit.”
That’s always been my response when manager and owner use that whole “nobody wants to work anymore,” thing because they can’t get people to take offers for six bucks a year.
Every single time I hear that, I say out loud, “Well I certainly don’t want to work. Who in their right mind does? That’s why we get paid to do it.”
High pay means nothing when the cost of living is even higher. Making 20 bucks an hour sounds great until you have to pay 3000 bucks in rent each month.
Tone-deaf bosses be like, “actually we have a return to office mandate… We’re gonna need a note from your doctor.”

The “people don’t want to work anymore” rallying cry has always confused me. Who ever wanted to work in the first place?

McDonalds in NYS is $20 an hour and they struggle to fill the jobs. Just saying.

Part of that is because those jobs are fucking horrible to do.
I’ve spoken with many, many people about their jobs and McDonalds is not that bad
Good for them. I’ve done it as well, and it was fucking horrible.
Did you speak with the best people? All the best people told you that? All of the “many, many” people. Hundreds of them!
Nok, kids these days are just lazy. My first job was BK. It was fine. Not horrible at all.
Oh it’s the kids that are wrong, huh? Ok Skinner.
Weird reply.
Just ask the UK how that debt and public services are going.
We’re gonna need a note from your volcanologist.
