Everyone wants a job but people today have no work ethic. They apply work for a couple of weeks then quit. Many do not show up for interviews. We pay real good money and the work is not hard. To many government give aways keeping people from working. I can not find reliable workers. Everyone wants a job but people today have no work ethic. They apply work for a couple of weeks then quit.

You definitely have a right to be upset! However, I'd suggest directing it at the people who looted our government during a pandemic rather than the people who lost their job due to a mismanaged crisis that are now days away from homelessness.

But I never turned down work or sat at the house, nor have I ever been fired or used any type of government assistance, I’ve always just worked a little harder. Kinda simple when you think about it.

In closing I suspect a stock market crash any day from now til November. When peoples cars start getting reposed in mass and are getting evicted for failure to pay mortgage its gonna be total chaos.

My job and field straight up told me its gonna be 2021 before the even look to add anything more than a bare bones crew. You are mistaken Ive had offers sure but. But I sure cant pay a mortgage and car payment etc on minimum wage can I? The (good) employers are laying more people off than hiring from what I see daily. (Caraway) Who does not want to work?
