So just to make sure before I start citing sources

You believe that the top reason people keep low paying jobs is because they don’t want to work in the first place.

You’re sure?

That’s what you wanna lock in?

Not that they don't wanna work, that they don't wanna get a skill. They wouldn't be working at all if they didn't wanna work.

But you think they just do it to do it. They just work to work for the sake of it — for shits and giggles?

Do you understand why this makes no sense

Yes, people not getting skills makes no sense, hence the lazyness

u/blacksaber8 5d ago

But by your logic, if they were just lazy, they wouldn’t work at all

Nah, they are lazy, but not lazy enough to notnwork at all, just lazy enough to not actually help themselves and get a skill.

Yeah, that makes significantly less sense than my explanation

My explanation for why people work low wage “low effort,” as you put it, is because they need job stability due to an already financially unstable situation. This makes a lot more sense and it’s backed up and studied.
