During the Great Resignation, when millions of people left the workforce, the phrase "Nobody wants to work anymore" became a common sentiment among HR and business leaders who were having trouble with hiring.

However, as University of Calgary professor and researcher Paul Fairie pointed out referencing newspapers and other publications, these words have been thrown around every decade for at least the past century — going as far back as 1894.

So in an attempt to remind everyone that change starts from within, we went digging through the 'Antiwork' subreddit and put together a list of posts about hypocritical bosses who should take a good look in the mirror before blaming the common folk for being lazy.

    People do want to work. The problem, according to sociologist Dr. Tracy Brower, is that many think of working conditions as primary drivers of wellbeing and engagement, but the work itself also matters.

    In her opinion, employers should design positions so that the responsibilities would include more elements than the ones which detract from satisfaction.

    "If working with customers or repetitive tasks are hallmarks of the work, consider how the responsibilities could be rotated with other employees so no job is overwhelmed by these characteristics," Brower explained. "In addition, ensure workloads are realistic, and ensure safety processes are followed without exception."

    Note to management: Employees never merely threaten they'll quit in these situations. Before you ignore a threat or make a threat yourself, be prepared for that employee to separate.

    In addition to the content of the work and what gets done, Brower highlighted that how work gets done is critical to wellbeing too.

    "For decades, work-life research has demonstrated when people have more control over when and how they work, their satisfaction, engagement, retention, and effort are positively impacted."

    "While it's not possible to provide flexibility or choices in work hours for many jobs, wise employers will provide as much control as possible for as many jobs as possible," the sociologist said.

    Indeed, a recent study from McKinsey & Company demonstrates that people value having more breaks (56%), the ability to take time off (88%), the choice to work specific days or hours (78% and 79% respectively), and the option to work remotely (51%).

    Offering these kinds of choices may offer the greatest returns in employees' satisfaction and retention.

    You're Still Coming In Right?

    Not me. On my way home and saw this truck in the ditch. I pulled over to see if he needed help but he was already gone.

    But there was another guy in the parking lot talking to his boss on the phone. He had sent him the same picture telling his boss he didn't feel safe. We talked a bit after he got off the phone. His boss was pissed that he asked to go back home.

    Young kid probably 19-20. I told him minimum wage wasn't worth it. Go home look for something better.

    These supervisors, managers, companies don't understand or don't give a f**k. Ridiculous.

    My Boss Sent Me This Text After Asking To Be Paid

    i (21M) work in a very small bakery in upstate NY. my boss (52F) is the owner of the bakery. i get paid under the table in cash. we work alone together a lot of the time, and so we have opened up to each other about a lot of things. when i opened up to her about my family’s financial situation, it was because i trusted her. i did not do so for pity, nor did i expect to have it used against me. lately she has been paying me late, and so occasionally i’ll ask if she’s done payroll bc i need to get food. yesterday she replied with this. i’m speechless.

    If you don't have enough money saved up to cover your employees working during slow times how is your business going to survive? I pay people no matter what. If I had to make a choice to pay my employees or the bank I know who I would pick and I run my own small business with employees.

    "It should go without saying, but especially with high inflation and increasing healthcare costs, [these two things] are high priorities for people, and they are associated with a sense of wellbeing with their work," Brower said.

    A study from MyPerfectResume discovered the following would detract from employees’ satisfaction: lack of health insurance (21%), lack of paid time off, and lack of retirement plans (16% each).

    In addition, the study found low earnings would detract from satisfaction for 42% of respondents, and in the McKinsey study, compensation ranked eighth as a reason people would leave their position.

    When I was at university, I got a part time job in a convenience store. On my first day, my start time was 8am; I rocked up at 7:50am to my boss telling me I’m late. I look up at the clock on the wall and it says 7:50. Before I can say that I’m not late, she tells me that I should turn up half an hour before my shift to count my float and relieve whoever is working before me. Not only did she fail to mention this to me when she gave me the job, but I argued that if I had to work an extra half I should be paid for it. I walked out in the middle of the shift after she shouted that I was “fücking useless” in front of a shop full of customers after I’d messed up on the cash register that I was learning to use.

    Saw This Email Come In From My Boss

    "Recently at work we have gotten 3 new hires, and have had several people leave as well. Most of the people in my department are making 16-17 an hour. Well one of the new hires came and told one of the other employees (who has been with this department for about two years, we’ll call her Hannah) that she was making $19 and the other two new hires were making more than her. (Hannah also has her two weeks in at this point, last day is set to be April 7th.) Hannah then went and told everyone else in the department that they were making several dollars more than the rest of us, who have all been with this company for over a year, never seeing any raises. Word finally got around to our manager, so she pulled Hannah into her office and fired her for talking to everyone else about others wages. The next day we come in to this email from my manager"

    I was a DANG good employee. I didn’t even miss when I had the flu. I took my kids when I didn’t have a sitter.

    Boss Had Me Pick Her Up From Hospital Ama

    Boss Had Me Pick Her Up From Hospital Ama

    I worked last night and had to be up in the morning to pick up my boss from the health center she was at. It was AMA. I asked the hospital is she was being discharged. They said no. I had to sign paperwork about responsibility. That made me extremely uncomfortable. I was tired and got there 16 minutes after she signed to go home. She began to yell at me in my car. Telling me how she was my boss and we had an agreement to be there at a certain time. That I shouldn’t have called the hospital or asked any questions. To do what she said. I had to sign a paper and wasn’t aware until I got there. She is a control freak who had to be home to see family who arrived. Family who could have picked her old ass up from the hospital but no she asked me. I’m extremely upset.

    From this point on I will refuse to do any favors or run any errands. Old bitch…on Christmas Eve. I also packed my car with her packages and gifts to unload and put in her house. I’m disgusted by this persons behavior.

    Just wanted to vent. I’m going to clock in soon.

    It's really sad, so many of these lower management/supervisor roles pay just as poorly as the bottom rung relative to expectations. And they DO manage the more shallow ends of the talent pool, let's be honest. I hate it, but conservatives are evil genius for making the poor and poorer eat each other alive.

    I don't mind this. If using your personal phone isn't part of your work, of course it's use can be limited to breaks and such. Also some facilities, like car factories, ban phones because of industrial espionage and unintentional leaks.

    What is with this mentality of, "because I suffered, you should expect to suffer too"? What about leaving things better for the next generation than what we had to endure? Maybe you had to miss family functions but imagine if we found a way so that no one has to miss family functions in the future. Imagine creating a better work environment so no one has to deal with "the nature of the beast."

    Nothing wrong here, they are being given the option of advising when they are available...unless they are not being paid?

    Pretty sure mileage costs are determined by the government, not by employers. (I could be wrong though.)

    It's never the employee's responsibility to cover their shifts. That's what the manager is for!

    I’m with the boss on this one… boss immediately apologized. Things like this can happen, chill out. It’s not stealing. That would be taking it and then lie that they didn’t take it…

    Cash money and no 1099? And you're willing to advertise that? I'm sure the IRS would love to know about that.

    Honestly I somewhat agree, especially based on Gen Zs own Thick Toks. Some have issues with set schedules, 40 weeks, job not what they expected, expect huge salary right out of college etc.
