Maybe this is the Crux of the Employment Problem?
The headline from this Time article lays it out pretty simply:
The Pandemic Revealed How Much We Hate Our Jobs.
I wonder if all of the talk about laziness, unemployment benefits, toxic workplaces, etc. really all comes down to this. There are a significant number of people in this world working in jobs they simply don’t like. Or, to look at it another way, there are a significant number of jobs that give us no reason to not hate them.
