My brother works as a supervisor at a large plant in a pretty impoverished area of the nation. Low wages, high unemployment, low cost of living, high level of laziness area. He's worked at this plant for about 35 years. His plant just a couple weeks ago had to let go of two people. They were both younger people in their 20's. They were let go for repeatedly breaking rules.
One rule is there is no smoking anywhere on the grounds. One kid kept going out to smoke outside the building. He got caught and warned, got caught again and warned, got caught, written up, caught, disciplinary action, caught and finally fired. He was given several chances and kept breaking the rules. Upon getting fired he talked about how there were no other jobs and how unfair the situation was and what was he to do now, etc. The other person was let go under similar circumstances, just a different rule was repeatedly broken. Again, she was given several chances too.
These kids have this entitlement mentality that is so very common today, especially in the younger generations. I'd say around 30 and under it seems, though I've seen many 30+ people display it too.
Are they lazy? Do they feel there should be special rules just for them? Who's responsible for their reasoning? Parents? Government?
You'd think with jobs as scarce as they are, people would do anything to hold on to a good job. Do they even want to work? Can the poor even help themselves, or are they doomed to continue to fail, yet expect to be provided for? After all don't they deserve to be taken care of?
