Hot Takes: People are lazy

People have become lazy. Now, if you are offended by that first line, well then, buckle up because this might pertain to you. 

What I mean by this is not to use ChatGPT because you’re too busy to write a heartfelt text, or you don’t want to do your dishes that have been sitting there for like a week (which, by the way, you should probably do those). No, I am talking about people not doing their job and still expecting to be paid for the work that they didn’t do. 

Imagine this, you’re working at your retail job, and you have to get everything looking nice and sharp because corporate is going to come in the next day to inspect. After you get done doing your part of the job, your co-worker then asks if you can help them with theirs so they can go to lunch. Obviously, you agree, but you find that they have done nothing, yet they still get paid for that “hour” of work. 

If you are like me, you might be thinking that this is a bit messed up. I am not going to do your work for you. Then you go and tell your boss that instead of your co-worker doing their part, you did it for them in a faster manner. 

But as a sign of your boss’s appreciation, they pay you double for that hour, and don’t pay your co-worker for that hour. Which then causes them to go to your boss, “Why didn’t you pay me for that hour when I was there. “

The boss then tells the co-worker that since you didn’t give me the quality work, you’re not getting paid. You’re not going to get paid to sit there and do your job. 

This is what I mean when I say that people have become lazy. If someone can’t do the job the right way, they should not get rewarded for that. If you hand your job to someone else and think, “Oh, they’ll just do it”, you don’t get rewarded for it. You’re not going to get everything handed to you on a silver platter, unfortunately.
