I threw papers for next to nothing. 7 days a week. Have worked since I was 12. Young people today are an embarrassment to this country

Saw a local online bulletin board post recently from a parent seeking part-time work for her high school son, noting that she would not consider sub $17/hr opportunities as “…he is worth more than that”.
If your boy was so talented, maybe he’d be out looking for a job instead of having Mommy do it for him.

Ridiculous. Young men have become super feminine (I don't mean Gay). Saw a young man walking with his girlfriend the other day wearing bunny rabbit slippers and skin tight jeans. We made eye cintact. She hung her head in shame.
Poor kid couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag (as my dad would say)

That is sad and so true. Parents are part of the problem. Some want to give their kids what they didnt have growing up(which is awesome)but yet they dont do it in a way that kids learn to earn it and not expect it for free.(entitalment) governmet is to blame for that as well. All in the name of equity and equality and fare share BS. F off.. im not working to help some free loader that has no intention or motivation to help better themselves. Keep shoving kids out...(more than 2 or 3 at most!)putting the burden on a society and world that doesnt have the resources to sustain..ok rant over.Saw a local online bulletin board post recently from a parent seeking part-time work for her high school son, noting that she would not consider sub $17/hr opportunities as “…he is worth more than that”.

I have 2 bothers, im the eldest. I am 3 and 5 years apart from them. The difference in generations is noticable. While my parents loved us all, we were raised different...i had to work for what i wanted.(way it should be) Could never have a simple cell phone until i had a job to pay for it...but with my brothers the rents basically (in my eyes)said F it...they payed that bill for Fing years!!!!!!! Would not suprise me if they stil do. My brothers overall work ethic suffered in the long run.(not that they are piles of sheet) but could be better and make smarter desicions.
It is what it is. I take pride what we have because it was earned not given.

Wait, what? When I was growing up sometimes I would go 2 days without eating (would rather starve then take welfare), now I'm suppose to accept healthy bodied individuals living off of my back because they are too lazy to work??
Everyday I wake up thinking all of this was just a nightmare, but nope it's the real thing

All that stimulus money they sent out...yeah well a smart fellow would realize they will just take it back another way so dont spend it. Hold on to it for when they decide to take it back.
I do blame people for taking it and riding it out till it peters out. It only hurts them in the long run

Further. You can't pay rent with food stamps. Where are they getting that money from? Tell me so I can sign up. I feel like a fool over here going to work everyday

Not just the youngins….. though I did see one explain why they younger crowd doesn’t want to work. Talked about a family member working at McDonald’s and when they became a manager started college and paid for it with McDonald’s earning. Not doing that working at McDonald’s today.
Also not just the youngins. Google working age male not working. Lot’s of Men 25-54 did not come back or just join the work force.
You average $21 an hour 40 hours a week you make about $3500 a month. You take 800 for taxes medical and such Leaves you with $2600. Where I live you can’t afford rent, food and gases with that.
Another problem is moving back in with parents. No rent to pay, doesn’t affect parents as their mortgage doesn’t change or better yet it’s paid off.
So no mortgage no car payment…. Food aid and pretty much your living not working.

Same crap in Ontario, Canada. A lot of businesses close because they can’t get workers. Someone hit the right word “ENTITLED “.
When I worked after school I got 60 cents an hour and was happy to have it for spending. My first full time job after graduation paid $58.00 a week. Those were better times. I was always thankful of a job.

I had car club of 8 cars, 16 people, heading out for a lunch date at a nice country club an hour out of town. The reservation person was giving us static about fitting us in. We arrived to an almost empty restaurant at noon.
The whole time I thought about how the excellent waitress would have missed out on 16 tips ($50 estimated) if we had not persisted with the reservation person…. Two of our group are members there.
Makes you wonder if some of the woes at companies may be self induced.

We have created a society where the lazy and entitled end up at the same finish line you or I end up at yet they didn't have to lift a finger to get there. I have had roommates that couldn't pay bills month after month, yet they never became homeless, never starved. Why? Because society(or in that case, me) will prop them up. Those same lazy folks are the same ones that are now realizing this, and just not working, period.
So the person that never managed to get your McDonald's order right is now not even present to screw that up.... they're at home playing their PS5 and texting on their Iphone 14 they somehow magically purchased through osmosis.

At my job, that is definitely true. The Chief AND the CEO are RABID liberals and (I honestly believe) are Intentionally trying to burn down my department, with their negative attitudes towards police officers and their "Oh, poor baby" way of looking at KNOWN FELONS. When I went on Medical Leave Sept 30th, we were WAY BELOW minimal staffing requirements, a "skeleton crew" would have been an improvement.
Since then, NOT ONE PERSON has been hired to try and fill staffing and a few more have quit/are looking for other jobs. There are supervisors posting listings for police/dispatch jobs opportunities AT OTHER DEPARTMENTS on Facebook.
Not only has the current administration been actively trying to get the ship to sink, they have set it on fire as well. The "rats" have already left the ship, the only people remaining are the ones that haven't been picked up by another department YET, but the snakes are still there making sure the ship does go down in flames.
