Employers pay their workers the bare minimum legal wage, yet are shocked when the work is the bare minimum you would need to do not to get fired. Weird.
"Everyone wants to be paid to sit at a desk and make more money instead of dying of heatstroke or getting hit by traffic for peanuts"
“No one wants to work anymore. Instead they want to work at their computer.
Does. Not. Compute.
When I hear this complaint from farmers, I usually respond with:
"If you paid $100/hr and offered full time, you'd be beating hardworking employees away with a stick."
Hm, I do like peanuts though. Roasted?
I know very few things for certain in this world but one of them is that I can't be trusted with honey-roasted peanuts. I'm shoving the next handful in my mouth before I'm even done chewing the first.
Don't tempt me, I don't want to walk to the gas station. It's late at night and I should go to bed :-(
It’s crazy, I just keep shoving. Even if I have a drink, the glass stays full till I’m done.
That must be a whole lotta peanuts if there are enough to create traffic for peanuts
Nobody wants to be underpaid anymore.
Business owners, if you want to work so bad, why don't you do it for free?
Then you could use that money to pay someone who doesn't want to work to work.
Productivity would go way up!
Nobody wants to be exploited anymore. We still will be, though...
See there's always been a problem with that phrase.
I don't want to work anymore
I never wanted/want to work
That's the whole fucking reason you have to pay me to do it. If you weren't paying me I wouldn't fucking work
Hmm, I think maybe human beings don’t like working in general
The simple fact that business owners and their lackeys/ilk seem to fail to be able to grasp, most of us never wanted to work for them in the first place. We wanted to pursue our own happiness and joy, not pursue money we will never see for ourselves because they build fortunes on our wasted lives.
We never wanted to work in the first place you fuckwits.
Damn, who knew people worked to feed themselves and their families instead of doing it as a hobby. I wonder, maybe increasing wages would attract more workers???
Ridiculous, how is the boss going to maintain it's weekly golf expenses and monthly sailing trips if those lazy workers want more money.
/s, but I had a boss who did this and "forgot" to increase my pay, so I "forgot" to extend my contract.
