BrisVegas@paulisci unspoken undertone: no-one wants to get scammed for sub-par wages that they canāt live on without 3 other jobs
Andrej Panjkov@paulisci "people don't want to work" ... for arseholes!
Nick Appleyard@paulisci
This is an awesome thread and it must have taken you ages and a lot of work to assemble.
As such, it contradicts itself gloriously.

Always the employees fault, never the employers.

Nicole Parsons"Employers who rely on dupes willing to waste their lives in low wage jobs to keep their system of exploitation running, are upset when those former employees decline to subsidize the wealth-building of the selfish.
There is no labor shortage.
It's a shortage of decent paying jobs with health benefits that pay enough to pay the rent."
No one likes it when a patsy wakes up.

John [He, Him, His] ššØš¼āš¬š§¬š§«š§Ŗš»@paulisci I know this isnāt the point of your thread, but duh š of course no one wants to work. Thatās WHY YOU HAVE PAY THEM. If they āwantedā to work it wouldnāt be āworkā.
River Brandon@no1lion99 @paulisci I think maybeā¦ thatās the wrong takeaway? People definitely want to work. Humans find work meaningful and satisfying if it has dignity and makes a difference. Paying people to do what they donāt want to do is *exploitation*.
@no1lion99 @paulisci Or paying them far too little for a job they *are* willing to do. Also exploitation.
Don Hawkins - W7DAH@rvr @no1lion99 @paulisci Do they? Iāve been working since about 1967 & still am at 71. I wouldnāt miss it. I donāt need it to fulfill squat.
Paul Koenig@paulisci I imagined each of these attached to the chart of worker productivity steadily rising over time.
Greg Stolze@paulisci Wish I knew which genius came up with the response, "Of course no one wants to work! No one has EVER wanted to work! In the Bible, it's the worst punishment GOD ALMIGHTY could devise for Adam's disobedience!"
tinkerļ½”ā§š¦Ėā½wolf@paulisci on a related note: I've been having conversations with good friends about how there are countless courses on the framework of resumes; how the resume should look, what it should or shouldn't say, but precious few are taught how to adequately express their valuable skillsets to potential employers...
But even this is but a tiny fragment of the whole problem.
RowinSpeez@paulisci the long history of shitty employers bemoaning not being able to reap the benefits of othersā hard work.
dark was the night š@paulisci oh how I love this stuff!!

You know, nobody wants to work anymore for economists who say you can't get a better system, corporations that kill the earth, and companies that drive imperialism across the globe.

SamHughes@paulisci We are moving towards a futuristic workforce where government assigns people jobs or be broke and homeless.
Dan@paulisci That was a good one. Throughout history the only people that apparently want to work are those printing the news articles about all the people not wanting to work.
ĆŠŃ·Ń Ū·Ēæȵ ąŗ£@paulisci the saddest part of this thread is the realization that the people that ādidnāt want to workā in the past become the complainers later on. Itās almost as if society bullies us into believing bullshit, underpaying jobs are ok and the brainwashing works.

un admirador de Uruguay ā@paulisci work is overrated 
QuarterSwede@paulisci People want to work, they just want to be paid fairly and not be abused.
Anecdote alley: Recently, I got the opportunity to work for a private equity firm in a young company they started. They are pouring money into it to attract talent. Itās worked. The amount of people that left their decade long jobs to be apart of something new and exciting is large. The one thing they all have in common, including myself, is that they were all burned out being overworked. Many of 1 š§µ

us were working long hours and then being on call for the rest of the day/night. Now, we get locked in after 5p as everyone leaves and work truly stops. The change has been massive for our well being and families. Productivity and revenue is WAY up. The corporate mentality of, you arenāt worth being paid if you arenāt being overworked, is going to be their downfall. And good riddance. 2 š§µ
David SI can say with conviction that the young folks we hire work as hard as any other generation. What is different is the focus on equity by them. They share salaries and discussions with bosses
@paulisci Amazing. Thank you.
Jordan (Damn Good Tech)@paulisci And meanwhile I *want* to work, been looking for a challenging role for over around 3 years, have a loyal-to-a-fault work ethic, but I often get dismissed from the hiring process over candidates who send I see post anti-work threads. What is going on with the world?
katherine@paulisci excellent thread, thanks for compiling!
