I always struggle with some people's work ethic, or lack thereof. I've always been raised with the mindset that if there is work to be done, and you can do it....you do it.  You don't put it off until later (unless it's dusting or folding clothes!), you don't wait for 'someone else to do it', and you certainly do not say "that's not my job".  None of those flew around my father and mother and it certainly does not fly with me.  

Society has gotten lazy. No one seems to want to work or put forth an effort to even appear to work.  It's disheartening.  It's sad and pathetic. Not to mention frustrating as hell for those of us who do the work.  Perhaps the lazy are the smart ones?  They know how to get out of work by portraying laziness so the hustlers of the world get bent out of shape and say "fuck it! I'll just go ahead and do it myself.".   

I've seen it in my work environment, which is a medium security prison.  Laziness and lack of respect for the job is scary.....it's dangerous.  And yet, we have officers that skip doing rounds (which are required) on time, they can't accurately perform count of inmates (because they're lazy and/or probably do not know how to count), exerting themself to go above and beyond what is required of them is unheard of in their realm.   These are the people that are supposed to have my back when I walk on a floor with 97 male inmates; Hardly a comforting thought.  

I don't remember it being this bad 10-15 years ago.  What changed in society to make it socially and morally acceptable to be lazy?   Did my parent's generation think these things when they were my age?  Is it a generational thing?  

And what's even more scary is this:  The people who work the hardest, for the least pay, are often immigrants here on a work Visa or (yes, I'm going to say it)....illegal immigrants; all of which Trump wants to deport.    Bet the Maga Trumpers (who generally think in the terms of $$ in their wallet) wasn't thinking about the cost of fruits and vegetables rising astronomically due to the shortage or farm laborers trying to get crops off the field.   

You sure as hell don't see white people out there picking vegetables and fruits; some can't be bothered to even do the jobs that they have.  

I'm mad.  And everyone in 'Merica should be scared as hell regarding the direction this country is taking.
