You get to the point finally, where complete morons walk into the work place with zero skill, zero incentive, zero work ethic and call themselves ‘employed’.
EVEN AT THAT... they don't grasp the concept of showing up at the same place-EVERY DAY and AT THE SAME TIME and giving their employer 8 hours.
They grumble and gripe about ‘work’ which hardly qualifies as labor in even the broadest sense of the word, and they don't have the sense to appreciate their own luck at BEING employed or making the most of it! They hate the boss and can only think of ways to get out of their responsibilities and ways to get excused from work.
They don't save, they don't invest in themselves (example: night school, etc,), they don't get an additional part-time job to increase their income, they don't economize in their lifestyle, etc.
IDIOTS!!! (I know what you are going to say so I'll qualify all this: I used to have a part time job with a group of young people who were working the job as their only income. They had NO interest in doing a good job, getting ahead, improving on their skills, working overtime, were NEVER on time, NEVER worked a complete pay cycle without missing for one reason or another, lied and stole from the employer... etc. THESE are the minimum wage losers I am talking about.)
They don’t even have to be young to have this mentality. My sister worked the floor in retail at a big regional chain. There was a call for people to move into management training. My sister took the training and has been in retail management ever since.
Every other salesperson around her decided to stay on the floor. I am talking FT people with 5+ years of service, some with 10. They didn’t want the additional responsibility, they liked being able to call in ‘sick’ when they wanted to, etc. It was just too much trouble to be management when they could clock in and clock out for their hourly wage.
