Fortune is not as bad as many other “news” organizations, but they do shill pretty hard for the corporate overlord. So, Fortune claiming that Americans don’t want to work is on par with Santa Magazine saying that kids love to sit on the laps of smelly old men so much that they will line up for it.
Of course Americans don’t want to work in hellish conditions for no benefits, no job security, and slave wages. Also, most college kids don’t want to work in a factory, the whole point of college is to pull themselves up out of the blue color job market. So if you wanted to write a piece that explains how it isn’t the corporations fault for offshoring jobs, it’s actually American workers themselves who don’t want to work then ya, depending on where and how you ask, you will definitely get a large number of people saying no thanks.
Wouldn’t Fortune claiming people don’t want to work be like Santa Magazine saying people don’t like Santa? You’d think Fortune would be like “hooray work, work makes you free”.
Anecdotally I work at a factory myself and most people do not react with envy when I tell them.
Not if Fortune is trying to blame the lack of manufacturing in the US on the workers instead of the greed of corporations. It’s called white washing.
Anecdotally, I also work at a job that no one gives a shit about either. But I would still be upset if it got offshored. In fact, I did the very thing that they tell you to do, I figured out how to make money from one of my hobbies and personal passions. Now it’s just work and I refuse to do it unless I’m getting paid to do it. Look at how many YouTubers just fucking quit even if they are making a good living from it. My guess though is that since you’re still working there that you prefer it over the shittier options you have available to you? I bet it would even be better if there were more factories competing for your skills.
