"Laziness n. an inclination not to do work or engage in activities"(Websters Dictionary). What is it about people that they think that this is a job requirement. If it is "an inclination not to do work" then why have a job. I am sure that there a lot of people out there that would love to have a job and actually put forth some effort to keep it.
Do people who are lazy not realize that not only do they make other peoples jobs harder, but that it will eventually, and I say that loosely because some employers pretend not to notice, they are going to have a hard row to hoe because people won't continue to do their work for them? Do they even care? If you were a lazy person would you feel guilty taking a paycheck knowing that you didn't actually earn it? Where do these kind of people hide to get out of work? These are questions I have. I work with a lazy deadbeat and everyday it chaps me more and more the things that he can get away with. I can think of alot of people who are unemployed who would welcome the chance to just have a job and a paycheck to take home.
"Hard work never hurt anyone", that's what I was told growing up and I found it to be true so far. It might make me tired and run down sometimes, since I work full time and go to school full time, but never do I feel guilty about getting my paycheck because I know that I earned every penny of it and then some because I did Mr. Lazy's job too. I should get his paycheck and I wouldn't feel guilty taking it either.
It only takes one person to ruin things for everyone and what is the purpose, just come to work and do your job, don't complain because it's too much, how would you know, you have never done your job to its full potential to start with. Oh let's not forget, now you want to know when you will get a raise, A RAISE, for what..coming late, doing a half done job and made life harder on all your co-workers..are you kidding me.
I know that there are lazy people in this world, it is not a disease, it is a self-taught habit and I am sure that if I look into it with real death somewhere I will probably find someone who has classed it as a disease, but I'm not falling for it. Get off your ass and work, it's that plain and that simple. You don't want to, step aside and let someone else who does.
I must say, I understand! I once had this lazy lead, all he did was order people around and when I asked him to help me with something, he said he can't and gave me a pathetic excuse. The nerves of that guy! I too get annoyed with lazy people. Not just at work but at home also. I hate it when people eat and leave their dirty dishes in the sink for others to wash. C'mon one dish and they can't even wash it. I understand fully.
