The pandemic of 2020 completely changed our attitude towards work and in the beginning it started out really positive with remote work, more employee benefits because of labor shortages, and pandemic aid gave many people money to change careers. However, more recently, our attitudes towards work has become more negative with the Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, and companies demanding their worker back to the office. In this video, I share my opinion and give 7 reasons on why so many people don't want to work anymore.

1. People Just Don’t Want To Be Treated Badly

It's very obvious, but when you treat employees with respect and dignity, they will respect and value their jobs; however, when you treat people badly, people will despise their jobs. For so long, employees haven't felt valued, which has caused many people to not care about their jobs and not want to work. Companies, however, often do not understand this and will say that people are lazy and entitled.

2. People Are Sick of Being Treated Like Pieces of Data

In the beginning of the pandemic, the attitude towards work became more positive and one reason was because of the rise of remote work; however, one side effect of this was that companies wanted to know what their employees were doing and began to collect data on them. In theory, this was a good idea, but in practice, human beings are complex, emotional creatures that don't want to be treated like data. As data collection becomes more a part of our day to day work, people don't want to work because they don't want to be treated like pieces of data.

3. Most Jobs Don’t Have A Clear Purpose Anymore

Back in the day, the majority of jobs had a clear purpose and when people know the purpose of their job and can see the impact of it, they will enjoy their work more. Nowadays, however, society has gotten so complex to the point where the purpose of most jobs is to help companies make profit. This has caused many people to not enjoy their jobs because it seems like all they are doing is working for a paycheck.

4. Hard Work Equals More Work

We live in a dog eat dog world where oftentimes when you work hard, you are given more work. Eventually everyone learns this fact, which causes them not to want to work hard. Instead of working hard, many people will just keep their heads down and do the bare minimum. People don't want to work anymore because hard work doesn't pay off in this world.

5. Employee Wages Have Stagnated, While CEOs Wages Have Skyrocketed

In the past decades the salary of a CEO has increased drastically where in 1964, a CEO would make 20 times the amount of their employees; however, in 2021, it is now 299 times. In addition, wages haven't grown much in the past decades as from 1964 to 2018, it has only grown by 11%. Many people don't want to work anymore because we continue to see CEOs wages increase while employee wages are stagnant.

6. Everything Is Owned By Corporations Hungry For Endless Profits

We live in a society where everything is owned by large corporations that are hungry for endless profits. After living and working in a society that is all about helping corporations make larger profits, many people are fed up and do not want to work under this system.

7. Jobs Aren’t Everything

The final reason people do not want to work anymore is because people are starting to put less emphasis on their jobs and more on other things in life. From an early age we are told, "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"; however, this often leaves people feeling empty and unsatisfied. People are starting to find satisfaction and meaning in places outside of work.
