I hire mostly european students for my business because they never ever call out, they find work that needs to be done, and they are all around great workers.
My american employees? Fucking suck! They call out, they sit on their ass not knowing what needs to be done unless you give them a list, and they always are the first to leave early.

Its really fucking pathetic to think that these spoiled kids are our future.
This country is going to shit.

PARENTS.........Teach your children the meaning of earning a dollar!
Don't give them what ever they want b/c they cry for it!

My american girl that called out said that she dosent even need the job, but her parents said if she wants to rent a house with friends at the shore for the summer she needs to work. Well dumb ass parents.....that does not help if they don't need the money b/c you give it to them.
This is why many companies hire illegals.....b/c american kids are fucking lazy!

Fucking lazy people.....I hate them

    Not too many people have a work ethic I find. This girl who just started at my work, in fact she started last week already called out sick. She left a voicemail saying she was calling out sick and wanted US to call her to confirm it....unbelievable.

    But yeah I agree a lot of people are lazy.

    speaking of which... i think i might call in sick wednesday to devote the whole day to desparately trying to get solo chicago tix :D

    thats usually not my thing though... my parents have made me pay for any non essential things since i was like 6 y.o.... i was the first one to have a real job out of all my friends when i was 15... i definitely have an above average work ethic and im embarrassed by how lazy my generation is... when i think how hard my grandparents had to work when they came to america... it really pisses me off

    that being said though... im fuckin sick of my job and need to get out of the restaurant business ASAP before i kill myself! after awhile, no matter how hard working you are you become incredibly cynical

    I'd call out too, if you referred to me as your "american girl".

    yeah, the "new breed" has no work ethic at all.

    not that i think that i have a strong work ethic, i just have work to do, so i do it. lol.

    we are turning out a lazy bunch here these days though.
    Peace, Love.

    Calling out sick is almost as bad as pretending to be handicapped in order to get a better hotel room!

    These kids today!
    :)


    But I do agree that some members of the workforce make it clear that they don't really give a damn about doing a good job at work.

    not just lazy either... but HUGE pussies!

    kids are so fuckin soft these days! theres too many rules protecting the safty of kids... if kids are dumb enough to do something that hurts or kills them then the parents probably passed on some dumbass genes... sparklers should not be illegal in IL just cause some dumb fuckin kid doesnt know which end to grab

    Yeah! Its breeds bad habits, like hanging out in message pits later on in their adult life, wasting company time and money. The little fuckers.

    Get to work you little bastards.

    You fockers are getting old. Hows it feel to now be the old people bitching about the youth of today?

    Maybe you're just hiring the wrong people...It could be your judgement that is hurting you.

    When employees aren't on point it's usually because they don't have to be. In other words, you're a shitty manager!

  • Hmm I dunno. My goal in life is not to be a work horse. I do what needs to be done and work because I have to. I have bills to pay, etc. But I don't necessarily dedicate my life to it. I'd rather enjoy my one and only life first. I don't call out sick though unless I'm actually very sick and I'm here and willing to work when it's work time. But I don't think it's horrid to goof off every now and then.

    seriously!!

    the majority of my friends are such fucking pricks. everytime I come up with an amazing idea, they never wanna follow through cause they're too scared. It's always me and 2 or 3 friends doing it.

    sometimes we get in trouble, but it's so fucking worth it.

    Hey, want a hard workin' Aussie who can get an E-3 Visa fairly easily!? I'm your gal. Being unemployed in this city sucks beyond belief... not a place to be poor! I've been doing volunteer work and while that's great, it doesn't pay the bills... :|

    seriously, if I ever spawn a child, the kid will be tough. I won't be a slave driver, but if he/she and gets a knee scrape, I won't be in the ER yelling at the nurses like it's an emergency.

    First of all, I am the owner.
    Second I am well liked by my employees. I have many that return to work every season b/c I take good care of them with a bonus at the ens of the summer and I buy them all pizza every week.

    And by the sounds of you I am sure I would not hire you for any job.
