Schools are not receiving the funding they need to educate our kids. It's sad my sister doesn't even know how to write cursive. It's not the teachers fault. They only make so much and most of them spend their own money to help the kids learn. I also feel phones devices are also to blame kids always have their faces in some device phone tablet computer game system.
Ahh right yeah I learnt that at primary. It was hard actually cause I went from a school that taught you in your 4th year to one that did it from reception I was only in year 1. Tho my handwriting is joined it's not neat.
because when i was a kid 55 years ago we didn't have computers or games to sit on are ass all day we went out and play or had to do work around the house or farm and not only lazy now but dumb too if are phone doesn't tell us what to do, we are lost
The spongy forehead is an iron woman at work but she needs somebody to appreciate and admire what she's doing...
The work ethics should be from both sides, the boss and the employer...
There's a catch phrase for the late WWE hall of fame wrestler scott hall aka "razor ramon" when he was inducted to the wwe hall of fame in 2014, he said: "hard work pays off, dreams come true, bad times don't last but bad guys do"...
He meant the bad guy in a good way... What's the use of working hard and be loyal if you're not going to be appreciated and rewarded?
Why I'm contemplating applying for a job that's 4 min away from where I work now, it's a big pay increase and someone just told me they give you a gas card... It'll be hard work but I work hard anyways, might as well get paid better for it. Plus, we losing too many of the good workers that are done busting their ass and getting paid the same as the people that do nothing for the whole shift
Still i believe that you should rest at this age and only have fun and does the house chores and nothing more but things don't always work the way we want it...
Yeah, cuz that wouldn't pay my bills, keep a roof over my head... And I'm not a female living off men and their money, cuz regardless of what some asshat guys on here say/think, not ALL women are like that... And at least hard work keeps me more in shape, has those pounds coming back off... I'm not "getting skinny" like my coworkers keep saying, but getting back to what I used to weigh, another month or two, think I'll be there...
From work, unfortunately that's true... I can hang up my apron any timeš¤£ besides, I don't really bake, except for holidays, but I do cook... Well not so far this weekend yet, that would require going to the grocery store and I'm being lazy cuz I was up at 12am and stayed up till fell back out at 8am (okay might of gone to casino at 2amš, came home at 6am) sipping a little whiskey, contemplating ordering from the place across the street, but really wanted to order that duck dinner tomorrow, and not going to do both, it's an either or kind of thing
Not that chaotic dead duck again š¤¢ Do you know why they give you a lot of side food with it? It's because they want you to focus on the side service and not on the main meal š¤®
Why not drink? I'm at home, ain't driving anywhere, of I get food it's right across the street.. I worked hard all week, especially yesterday, they had me running around covering three departments, cuz we were short staffed cuz all the people that went out for St. Patty's day plus those that called in just cuz it was Friday plus the ones that left early claiming they were sick (happens every Friday)
Wet behind the ears eyyyyy sponge š I'm dry like a desert, if there's someone wet behind the ears than it's going to be a naughty sponge who have sore sasquatch feet š¤£ Also this 50 thing, i'm hearing it since 50 years that you're going to be 50, it seems that the sponge is stuck in level 49, give her some power up to become 50 šš
Last month i finished 36 years of my age, now i finished 1 month from 37 š
Back from 36 years in 1986 i was month and 9 days old while the sponge was 13 and a half back then, she came to me and told me: "listen little baby, don't cry too much cause i'm old and can't stand loud voices, you're barely 2 months old and i'm 13 CAPISH!
That's where i picked and pulled the sponge's hair and she started crying out loud thinking that her blond precious hair is gone š š
Lolol I'm actually drinking alcohol and still don't act as high as you do lolol well I was, Now I'm sleepy cuz I ate, ready for a nap lolol but having a sneezing fit š¤§ and now my throat scratchy and coughing a little... But I'll probably be š“š¤¤ soon lolol Might finish my book till fall asleep
Casino eyyyyy sponge ā» It seems that the personels there wait for miss brains to come in so they open the casino š¤£
The new game in the casino is called "hammer the sponge", it consists of a big hammer and a spongy forehead, the harder you hit the sponge with the hammer, the more cash you will receive, it's a bonus game, only for vip clients š
People don't hit me down there, just hit "on" me lolol okay I take that back, someone smacked my shoulder to get my attention last time I was there, turned out it was someone I work with lolol time before that it was my younger sisterš¤£
Hammer the sponge, i'll pay for this game lots of dollars so i play it and the manager told me that this particular game only takes 1 dollar george washington bills, i told him "no worries chief" š
Not me sponge, i'm a monster and you're my snack, you ain't going to resist, you will just say "hey monster, this is my spongy forehead, you can start consuming it" š¤£š¤£
Because they can. Because somebody will look after them whether it's the government or mommy and daddy. So they don't have to take their job seriously. At one time if you didn't work hard you starved. No more. Usually other taxpayers will be forced to support your lazy ass. They don't have to have a strong work ethic so they don't.
As reality would have it, I'm sorry, but the work ethic that makes a human being a worthy, trusting, reliable employee no longer exist. Our society has gone from the frying pan into the proverbial fire where work ethic is concerned.
@BaldAvenger it's true; but the flip side (at least in my country) is that people seem to be demotivated to give their best to their job by the possibility that tomorrow they may not have one.
šš and yeah people so addicted to their phones, people at my job go to the bathroom to sit on their phones for 30 min at a time.. Whereas my phone stays in my coat pocket till break... A guy finally got talked to Friday cuz he got caught putting his phone in a box pretending like he was working that box when he was really scrolling through his phone... Some of these threads saying people don't make enough, or minimum wage... My job pays WELL above minimum wage, and it don't stop people from being lazy, thinking they can do whatever they want to do... And if people don't like the wages they earn, they could always find another job.. they out there... I'm thinking of applying for a job 4 min away from where I work now, because it's a big pay increase, plus I heard they give you a gas card and with the way gas prices are right now, that's a plus
I never asked any of my employees to do something that I'd never done. You have to believe in what you're doing, whoever you're doing it for, even if it's just for yourself.
I am not sure that it is any worse than it was when I was a kid. I knew plenty of slackers growing up and I see a lot of my students who are in their 20s show real determination.
Boomers and jobsworths don't understand that it's a different job market these days.
People aren't content to work a shitty jobs, under power tripping managers for minimum pay, when they can get the same pay (or more) working a better job and with better people instead.
Usually the employers screaming about lack of CV's, interns and contractors are the type with low reviews, and high staff turnover.
My job pays WELL above minimum wage, and the people are still lazy and expect to get paid good money for sitting in the bathroom on their phones all day
The tendency to do things later or procrastination is what I think seems the reason for lack of work ethics these days. And thinking that integrity and honesty will not take you anywhere makes people lack in work ethics by default.
All the free free free free hand out our government likes to hand out to keep as many people dependent on them why work the government will take care of us
Nowadays people are rarely interested in what theyāre doing and just want to bag their paycheques. Theyāre also not paying enough respect to their supervisors because most bosses nowadays are also taking undue advantage of their employees and making them work like buffaloes. As thereās a toxic relationship between these two parties hence thereās no work ethics being followed at all.
Because it usually so one sided and it's really not rewarded, rather abused. I have been in so many situations where we aren't allowed to do a good job, because that would cost to much right there and then. Doesn't matter if it's a win in the long run.
I've seen/known that way before the pandemic, all the chicks from high school back in the day that got pregnant to get a welfare check like it was free government money, but it was coming out of mine and every other hard working tax payers check... I actually worked with people that voted for Obama cuz they thought he'd bring back welfare checks and up their food stampsš
I am from Canada and I am not either for Democratic or Republican ( you have to pick the lesser of two evils in my opinion). We have the same thing here though.. women have children here on purpose so they can collect money.
People invest their time into companies that offer no advancement. And when they find a company that does they forget what work ethic and enthusiasm is and become complacent. Work for a company that you know you can rise through the ranks from the bottom to the top. All you have to do is show up, on time, no excuses, bring enthusiasm, and WORK. Youāll be successful in no time. McDonalds Iām not a valid career choice.
Sense of entitlement, I hear it all the time from friends and even family members, who think they are all owed something and I often say, society doesn't owe you shit.

Hi, hope you don't mind my asking but what is cursive?
Cursive is a type of writing where you don't lift your pen off the paper until the word is completely written.
Ahh right yeah I learnt that at primary. It was hard actually cause I went from a school that taught you in your 4th year to one that did it from reception I was only in year 1. Tho my handwriting is joined it's not neat.
I have great handwriting but I practiced and take my time
That makes sense, I don't know why but I can't right slowly it creates an awkward and like painful sensation at my elbow joint so I write fast
Yeah I hear you.
because when i was a kid 55 years ago we didn't have computers or games to sit on are ass all day we went out and play or had to do work around the house or farm and not only lazy now but dumb too if are phone doesn't tell us what to do, we are lost

Nope i don't think so, you bake for me 100 muffins than in case i remained hungry, i'll eat all these freshly made muffins šš§

Can you tell I'm hungry lolol, but still sipping whiskeyš„
Don't drink too much sponge, go drink water instead, cause whiskey is bad for the jello spongy forehead š¬š¬
Whiskey does a body goodš
Only if it's a little and not too much or sponge's alcoholic cocktail šµ
Why not drink? I'm at home, ain't driving anywhere, of I get food it's right across the street..

Hey, I really didn't drool, lolol just like I don't snore all the time, but I will after days of no sleep, or if I'm sick
The key to make the sponge stops snoring is rubbing her spongy forehead š¬š¬
At least you didn't say smother with a pillowš¤£š¤£
Hell no! There is only one spongy forehead in the world, how can i smother her with a pillow?
The key is to give more oxygen to the sponge and not preventing her from oxygen š

Sure sure

At one time if you didn't work hard you starved. No more. Usually other taxpayers will be forced to support your lazy ass. They don't have to have a strong work ethic so they don't.
Sad but very true
Because school and society insist that we're all winners.
Right!!

So true
@BaldAvenger it's true; but the flip side (at least in my country) is that people seem to be demotivated to give their best to their job by the possibility that tomorrow they may not have one.
Social media and instant gratification culture. Millennials and Zoomers are generally pretty lazy.

Exactly, I work hard because it's who/what I am, how I'm madeš¤·š¼āāļø
I learned it from my dad, my mom, and even my big brother.
Yeah but now people expect to have everything handed to them instead of working for it, earning it
I am not sure that it is any worse than it was when I was a kid. I knew plenty of slackers growing up and I see a lot of my students who are in their 20s show real determination.
Most likely because mommy & daddy did everything for them. Now they feel entitled to do nothing & want to be paid top dollar.
Right!!!
Myself before I was 10 years old I had chores to do if I want my allowance.
Same here
They don't.
Boomers and jobsworths don't understand that it's a different job market these days.

@MustangSteve Why work for a company where I know I can rise through the ranks when I value work-life balance & having less stress?
Sense of entitlement, I hear it all the time from friends and even family members, who think they are all owed something and I often say, society doesn't owe you shit.
Because most managers don't have one, I'm really lucky to have a great boss, so it's all fine for me,,,
Work ethic should be about your own character, not someone else's... If I'm unhappy at the job, I don't work less hard, I'd find different employment
I agree, but when you get a boss who can't be bothered then neither can I, save my energy for my personal life while looking for another job,
a lot of people are lazy and entitled. I think a lot has to do with how their raise and the morals and values the parents put into their kids
