Actually, I’ve been that way for almost all my life.

Info about meh: My mom used to say I was the grasshopper in that famous fable. “Grasshopper and the Ants.” I was like, “Well the grasshopper has a fiddle!” and she would be like *sigh* “No. That’s not the point. Let’s just read it...” and then I said, “Can I get a fiddle?”

Over the years I have talked to a few people and had the same conversation:

\/\/ayne: How did you end up working here?
Other person: My unemployment ran out so I had to get a job.
\/\/ayne: Couldn't you just get any job? I could.
Other person: I couldn't find one I wanted.

Stupid morons will change their tune when they can’t buy a smartphone, a plan to connect it to the Internet, or food to eat.

Good God.

This means that many younger people won't take up jobs that don't meet their expectations and are very willing to "walk away from one if it [the job] interferes with how they want to lead their lives", said the survey.

That’s what happens when mom and dad won’t cut the cord.

Stop with easy street for doing nothing and they will work when they get hungry enough.

41 per cent say they would rather be unemployed than be unhappy in a job.

Not a care in the world about their children, I guess.

Ok. I have Gen z kids and their friends. Me to one 2020 grad: how do you eat? Him (living with parents): well, the pantry is always full.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Look forward to continuing unemployment and poverty.

If you are expecting total life fulfillment out of your job, you’re expecting way too much. If it pays well and it doesn’t drive you absolutely crazy, you’re doing pretty well. Look for fulfillment elsewhere.

Can’t offset the cost of living.

But Congress and the rest of the Chuggites can give themselves automatic COL pay raises

For me, "work-life balance" meant that I worked for the first 35 years so that I didn't have to in the last 25 years.

He can teach violin then. Isn’t that a 10,000 hour metaphor?

It’s something, which in today’s competative job market counts for nothing if the right attitude stays down in his divorced mommy’s basement.

The bible speaks on this.

Those that will not work, will not eat.

My son must be an old soul. He definitely has more drive than his peers. Works his ass off saving his $ and advancing himself while he’s young - so he can get to a place where he has the salary that meets the lifestyle he wants. Personally, I think he’s doing great where’s he at. But, he has a goal. I’m glad he enjoys his work because he does a lot of it.

I think the age of plenty we’ve been experiencing for the last few decades is coming quickly and surprisingly to a close. When times are fat, these useless parasites can be supported. When things get tough, they don’t.

The Gods of the Copybook Headings are laughing their asses off.

Oddly enough my daughter took an advanced degree ( paid for in cash because she and her husband saved up for it) so she could obtain a job in a field she lives to achieve work life balance. No more night shifts. No more working holidays. She actually gets an official meal break.

She loves her job. She is very good at it.

So proud of the woman she has become

It won’t be too far off when these people will be like fish in a barrel for the globalist totalitarians. Their “work-life balance” will really suck and there will be nowhere to hide.

People need to work. No question about it.

But there is another side of this: the working world has changed. HR is totally “woke” and big companies will constantly lecture you about how you need to think about the world. If there is ever a dispute between a normal person and a non-normal person, it’s because the normal person is a Hater who needs to be counseled.

Many salaried positions are treated like assembly line workers at a factory — clock in at a certain time, stay at your station, don’t take breaks, clock out — and send the boss an email detailing what you accomplished that day. And the boss can contact you at night, on weekends, or while you are on vacation. Hey, you are a salaried worker! This isn’t just some 9 to 5 job!!

And you won’t really get raises, you won’t get promotions, you will not advance. Your career is a dead end and your employer will abuse you and milk you for as long as possible. They owe you nothing. And if you try to leave, they will be shocked at your disloyalty. You owe them!! Look at all they’ve done for you! What?! Only two weeks notice that you are moving on?! That’s not very professional of you!! Maybe they should call security, walk you to the door, and just not give you those last two weeks pay! You’re out!!

People today want to just work to live and not live to work. I don’t blame them and I think the current attitude toward jobs is quite understandable.

How do you live without a job without being a burden on other people.
I can understand working just enough to get by or saving money and then taking a few month off.
