I think it's your patronising views of people on low wages that stinks. You tar everyone with the same brush on hearsay of your mate, that can't be representive of the workforce at argos. I know for a fact there is a good cross section of people who work there,semi retired,students,parents working around the kids etc.citricsquid said:Maybe not classy, but it's true and it's a really strange problem. I have a friend who works in Argos in Stafford and he works hard and assuming what he's told me is accurate the reason so many companies are losing money is because they employ people who do not care, he's the only employee who sounds like they actually go to work and work hard, the rest of them treat it as "oh I'm minimum wage so my job is just to exist and do the minimum that will get me through the day" which is ludicrous. There are definitely people who work very hard and I have a lot of respect for them (as someone in a "better" job who would be unemployed if I ever approached my job as to just exist) and I also understand than a minimum wage job can be demoralising, but it doesn't excuse not working hard.halfmanhalfbrisket said:Very classy citricsquid. Very classy indeed
If every person at an Argos style job -- where there is no specific skill required, just do work -- worked hard I bet unemployment would be 10x the level it is now because companies would stop employing most of the people they employ because they're superfluous. Wages would be higher, redundancies would be non-existant (except from actual tanking companies) and people who worked would provide real value.
We have a culture of doing the absolute minimum to get by without being noticed, it stinks.
