More like the core American industries are dying.
and have been since the 90’s when they started being moved and outsourced.
Steel mills, Automotive Factories, Mining, Tire companies. Ect.
The whole Rust Belt is dead. But was booming years ago.

I value my time more than the money, so I guess it's true. 
Why kill yourself as an employee, so some cac can live like Count Dracula somewhere? I've also seen plenty older relatives give their heart/souls to companies, only to get fukked over somehow, at the end. Your just a number. Like a previous poster said, most companies could give a damn, whether you live or die.
You'll be lucky, if your job takes the time, to grab a card from the local Dollar Tree to pass around, for some signatures, or GET WELLS. That would cost them time and production.
BTW, I've seen that happen first-hand to a TENURED employee. I've always said, you get what you pay for. If these spots aren't paying a liveable wage, than they're just as disposable as you are. fukk em.

When you spend an inordinate amount of time following people on Instagram who seemingly live like kings and queens, well....
Why work when wages are shyt and your future has essentially been robbed from you. People aren't just lazy, they're just waking up and seeing how utterly pointless this all is.
americans work more than their peers in first world countries..
A lot of people don’t realize this. Plenty of countries have 35 hr work weeks and way more vacation time than Americans.

I get your point but someone making 1500/month for work would not qualify for either of those unemployment numbers you gave, even with the extra.
What does any of this have to do with how they worked?
Again, what does this have to do with how they worked?
We're talking about work ethic. Performance and impact.
And there is a difference between productive and unproductive work. Just because millennials feel like they work more doing menial task outside of the job like answering emails doesn't mean they are being productive or that what they are doing is impactful.
And boomers not working outside of the job or working late hours is a lie. Yeah, maybe if you were doing manual labor. But if you were in a high-powered profession, you were definitely working long hours. The boomer partners at most firms that I worked for are the first in the office and the last to leave.
My grandparents and their siblings were corporate executives. All of them. The first generation of blacks to enter into corporate America. So I have that vantage point. Seeing how they worked and hearing what they had to endure, their work ethic absolutely eclipses ours. And hearing their stories or discussing work related issues with them, I would not have lasted long working under them. They were perfectionist and demanded 110% from those they managed.

Some view business ownership as a noble, charitable thing because it generates jobs for people to feed their families with, but when you look closer, you see people at the top hoarding so much while the workers have to pinch pennies to get by. The use the others' labor to subsidize their lavish lifestyles.Nothing to do with people not wanting to work. It’s the incentive to work. After this pandemic people see through the bullshyt. The youngsters aren’t so happy to work their ass off for the rest of their lives for pennies on the dollars so corporations and executives can hog all of the money and in turn call them lazy.
I’m actually surprised it took a pandemic for this shyt to start happening. You got people out here working sixty hours a week and can’t afford a decent spot to live. Work ethic itself ain’t the problem. It’s the reward for the average worker isn’t there.
These companies gotta pay people to interview because their actual jobs aren’t paying living wages and people would be better off on the government’s tit.
Yes, Black owned companies too. They are no different.

This isn't a knock on the average American employee, it's a knock on the system that so severely underpays it's workers. I don't blame the average low wage worker for wanting to chill and collect unemployment and enjoy the summer, hell I know a lot of my younger relatives actually took the time out and went to school. I had a cousin that went from HHA to medical tech. I had another take some basic computer classes and he went from retail to online helpdesk worker. It's not that Americans are lazy, it's just that the pandemic made a lot of people realize what their real worth is.
This is why as a business owner, I'd rather over pay my employees a little and keep them than have to do a revolving door for a something that requires consistency.
