My closest workmate (who relies on me to get to work) seems to be taking the cut in hours, too well.. He's only 31, and seems to have no get up and go.
Our hours have been slashes last week. I've applied for over 50 jobs since then (hence the interview today)
He has applied for zero, saying 'it will pick up' iit's been slack since Nov)
So is it hope, or laziness?
Mate its a ****ing mindset,has to be. Not meaning any disrespect to your mate
I started working in a high school.in the late 90's and when we were about yo take in the next lot from primary I spent a few days getting to know the young uns at their primary school
So I asks these kids "what do you want to do when you grow up?". You'd be surprised how many said get a job down the mines
I was like wtf? There hasnt been a mine open for ****ing 20 odd years around here. Or a pot bank and your dads a have had to retrain and take other work or sign on etc
Its madness
