The REAL Reason Why People Don't Want To Work Anymore

The REAL Reason Why People Don't Want To Work Anymore. There's a certain group of people out there who think people are just lazy. But we know this is BS. The fact is that for most job seekers, the rewards just aren't there to invest in a career. At least not in the way we had been taught. So, in this video, I share what I feel the REAL reason is that people aren't passionate about work and what to do about it.

Bottom line: It's not that people "don't want to work anymore" - they don't want to be exploited and underpaid.

You know what's the reward for working hard and staying late at the office? You get to do it again tomorrow!

I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.

I'm 44 and I never WANTED to work. I work because i NEED to earn money.

[Aieshoo]

The reward I got for working hard was a layoff.

[ktpznjo]

Low wages, no benefits, no work/life balance, you're expected to do work of at least 3 to 4 people, you can get fired at any moment, yet some wonder why people don't want to go to work?

[tyrekm]

Corporate culture in many companies today mirrors the tactics of MLM scams. Managers sell employees the dream of success, promising promotions and wealth if they just "hustle harder." This toxic mindset pressures workers to put in 80-hour weeks, sacrificing their personal lives for the illusion of rapid advancement.

Shady practices abound: endless motivational speeches, vague promises of future rewards, and a culture that glorifies overwork while subtly shaming those who seek balance. Just like in MLMs, the reality is often that only a select few reap the benefits, while the majority grind away with little to show for it. The result is burnout, dissatisfaction, and high turnover rates. It's time for companies to prioritize genuine well-being over relentless ambition and recognize that sustainable success comes from a balanced, healthy workforce.

What has amazed me in recent history is the “record profits” reports coupled with “mass layoffs”. That’s not sustainable, ethical, or practical.

"Why did you choose to apply for this position?" "because it was open and my skills match"

[Life-Brutal-Truths]

Being a hard worker doesn't get you to the top.

[avril.]

People don’t want to give loyalty to positions that don’t offer pensions/retirement and truly value their employees. I’m tired of giving “extra”, and not being rewarded. For perspective, I had a single mom Boomer neighbor who worked as a waitress, part-time, had 2 children, and went to college part-time, and could afford property, not the best, but it was property and a small house. If anyone in this thread is in denial, this was in the 80’s.😢

We are living in a dystopian era defined by hate, indifference, greed, narcissism, and metastatic late-stage cRapitalism.

"no body wants to work anymore"

Me constantly putting out applications that go unanswered: "..."

[GentlRebel]

I’m Gen X and have been grinding away at my career for longer than I care to admit. I put my health and sanity in jeopardy for too many years with 65+ hour weeks.

Last year a colleague died in their sleep. And you know what happened? Nothing. Literally, nothing. Barely a word was spoken about this person. I was shocked, as this was a kind and good person to work with. But it was as if they never existed.

This freaked me out. I could no longer deny that I am simply not important to any organization. Now I am working hard to break years of bad habits and to prioritize myself and my family first and foremost and keep my job in perspective.

[winterwulf]

Its really very simple.
I refuse to cripple myself to make someone else rich

[AI-cpjg]

Team building meetings are waste of time, effort and money. They force a bunch of people who despise each other to act civil to each other just for a couple of hours in enclosed spaces. Afterwards, everyone returns to their old behavior with no improvement in relationships.

[meropale]

Loyalty is definitely not rewarded as it used to be.

[titolovely]

At my last job I strive to be the overachieving employee. Stayed late, came in whenever they needed me to, took leadership roles no one wanted, and was about 2x more productive in real tangible results than anyone else in my department. You know what it got me? A 3% raise and a workload that made me start drinking daily and started having chest pains due to extreme stress. also i was the third highest paid people at my level out of 4.... Learned my lesson real fast.

[keithkorthals]

The workplace sucks!! I have watched as lies become truth. Those that tell the truth are fired!

[Jenjenn]

People are tired of working hard and getting nowhere. Not to mention the hoops you have to jump through for a job you really don’t even want in the first place. Even if you do get the job, then you have to deal with being overworked, unappreciated, nepotism, workplace narcissism and abuse. All that, just so we can live in a system where we HAVE to work for a place to live and food to eat (basic necessities). Employers take advantage of employees because we are in a position where we need a job to survive. It’s an abusive relationship in most cases!
