From your custodian to CEO and in between. There are exceptions everywhere but a great bulk are lazy and are not pursuing their true passion either. As Jimmy Carter said “malaise”.
- dolni 4y agoI think I'd frame it as: lots of people are lazy much of the time. What's really important here though is that some people can actually produce meaningful value as an employee, and others can't. For those who can, the question becomes "how often do they do it?" I am sure everyone has encountered a person who just can't get their shit together and get something done. That could be a negative-value tech employee or someone at McDonald's who just can't get a simple order right. I think only a very few of them absolutely CAN'T do better. Many can, but won't. And we absolutely should not be showering those people with free money made on the backs of people who worked for it.
