Do you think people today are lazier when it comes to working?

Working less hours and not as well. People are always in disbelief that I work a minimum of 40hrs a week

I 100% believe people today are a lot lazier. Which is part of the reason for high turnover in jobs especially with younger people. No job is perfect, and most of us don't want to go to work but we know we have to make a living, but so many people today are unhappy with just about every job, and seems to be all they want to do is sit on their phones all day while they get paid to do nothing.

And many people - again, mostly the younger generation - want to quit a job for the tiniest reasons. Like I said, no job is perfect, and I even hate my own work culture, but we have to make a living.

Not necessarily lazier but younger generations have figured out that working for a damn company for several hours a day isn't living life.

There's much to life than working all day just to die in the end.

I think laziness has increased a lot more, especially due to COVID-19. When everyone had to quarantine and basically didn’t go to work/school…they got a little too comfortable and here we are now 💁🏻‍♀️

No as these newspaper clippings show people have always thought other people are lazy these days.

[Asker]

So people have always had 20hr work weeks? 😂

[jennifer_bloom]

I've met people who work over 10 hours a day almost every day.

No, I don't. Circumstances change, but people are pretty much the same.

No actually I don’t. I think older folks don’t understand the younger workers (as usual) and the metrics for “working hard” are set by boomer standards.

I employ folks fresh out of college, as some did for me, and they are go-fckin-getters. And they suck cock like no one’s business. Just kidding,

But many are shocked that I work more than 40hrs a week

[OddBeMe]

I mean young people are always on the bitching end from us old fcks. You literally replace us. We’re afraid of you. Your kid is gonna come after my job. I’ll have to get him first. Jk. Lol

No, we just don't like spending 80% of our waking moments working for low pay and a job that has no purpose

I know for a fact they are...
