Believe it or not, people aren’t jumping at the chance to jump out of their bed in a probably depressing grotty room, in a depressing grotty house which they probably spend a depressing grotty amount of money on - to then drag themselves down their depressing grotty street onto the depressing, grotty bus and into their depressing grotty workplace. The chattering classes just don’t get it. Peoples souls are dying, people aren’t robots.
I’m just tuning in so I can hear millionaires tell me how work shy I am for working 10 hours a day for minimum wage and not being over the moon about it :)
Maybe we just don’t want to work our arses off for a company that doesn’t give a crap about us. No employers now value their staff and they will get rid of you in a instant if it means their shareholders get more cash. I work part time 10am - 3pm Monday to Friday for myself. I don’t earn a lot of money but just enough to get by. I go on 3 holidays a year as I want to enjoy my life not sat in front of a computer for 10 hours a day for some millionaire at the top.
Why is Peter on? Work is good for the pocket? Is he off his head. Most people who work minimum wage don't get paid anywhere near enough. Feel sorry for them
@@vikingfrog7204 Peter talks about his own experience and was lucky enough to live in a period where you could actually live a quality life, buy a house etc.Imo he is ignorant.
I used to enjoy work but due to a really bad experience now have been off for years. I don’t care about ever going back if I can help it. Feel guilty sometimes but oh well
The reason is that there is no industrial industry like there was in the past, and AI is now going to replace many roles, which means fewer jobs. Most goods are imported. Call centres are increasingly outsourced abroad. Our town centres are largely empty of stores. The system has done this to the people, not the other way around. Companies are making cutbacks because of bad government policies, and the economy isn't good.
IM 73 AND I WOULD NOT WORK FOR THESE RICH PEOPLE, WHAT IS THE POINT IF AT SOME POINT YOU CANT SAVE UP AND BUY A HOUSE OR CAR ETC UK HAS 177 BILLIONAIRES THATS WERE ALL THE MONEY HAS GONE,YOU NEED TO CUT THEM DOWN TO SIZE OR TELL THEM IF YOU ALL DONT PAY A GOOD CHUNK OF TAX YOUR OUT OF THE COUNTRY, THERE ARE PLENTY YOUNG BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS READY TO TAKE THEIR PLACE WHO WOULD READILY PAY THE TAX THEY SHOULD BE PAYING, CAPITALIST GREED
It’s a great life who isn’t slogging their guts out for £12 a hour . If the government hadn’t allowed the EU to move all the industries over to Europe under the pretence that it was our interest. Help the companies to start up again pay these people a liveable wage and make it work for the workers . Stop using cheap labour that arrives by boat . And stop paying so much in benefits . I read a post that a women that claims she is unable to work due to her mental health complaining she only gets £1890 every 4 weeks to live on saying she doesn’t have to pay her rent but the system wants me to pay a per of my council tax . It made me aware of how rubbish I am trying to live on £860 every 4 weeks as an OAP who worked and payed into the country for 51 yrs look at that
A lot of children in this country are born to lose " literally " & as for her saying she is still working at her age , she's not exactly digging holes in the road .
Perhaps if people could actually afford to buy a house, live a life etc then they would be encouraged to work harder.Peyer was lucky enough to live in an era where you could do those things, yet is ignorantto the fact that many youngsters now can only dream of having what he took for granted.
Working full time single person with rent you still required universal credit top up to pay rent unless you have two people working full time what a system we have rent is so expensive.
Bleksley who i usually agree with is being patronising here saying there are 900000 vacancies for people to pick from. That may be true across the country but if they are not in your area and you cannot afford to move, what are you supposed to do.
pay a wage people will accept to do the job.. dont moan when all you do is pay the minimum you can get away with then brand your workforce workshy.. no YOUR PAY SHY!.
If your on UC then a single person claim is around a little over 300 a month that's not including rent. And a couple would get a little over 600 not including rent. So unless you are on disability benefit then it does not pay that much. I think this work shy culture is thinking the time I pay my bill, rent tax is a big one the amount of tax then if there left with the same amount then it's not worth working in there eyes.
The benefit trap is the same in all countries. Why not let the young keep their benefits on top of doing seasional work for lets say three or six months?
What are we working for? Can barely afford rent + bills, no social lives (as seen by the stats of countless venues closing), never will be able to afford a house, can't afford children, can't afford to look after ourselves properly, never get any meaningful pay rises (for the majority of us anyway), everyone is miserable whilst a select few continue to profiteer endlessly off of our labour. If people won't fill your empty positions then up the pay. Simples - but of course, they won't, because that would eat into CEO and shareholder profits. Can't be having that, can we? This isn't a right v left issue. This is a an elite vs the working class issue.
Work life balance is brilliant. Providing it isnt to the detriment of others. When you are a CEO of a company, you aren’t in the position to call people they are work shy. I feel the opposite. Standard full time hours in the UK are 38-40 hours a week. That’s unheard of in most of Europe . I graft my bollocks off like many others so it riles me up hearing this
It’s not about dignity simply by working. Working should respect dignity of the individual and ensure any assistance and support is provided to undertake tasks within a job role.
Hmmmm Mike and Storm I wonder why less and lees younger folks want to do physical work? Could it be the pension age going up. I wouldn't do those roles because i know my body would he screwed (knees, back etc) before i hit pension age and wouldn't get to enjoy my twilight years.
No you don't need to work 60-70 hours a week to feel a sense of self worth. You're not obligated to run yourself down to the ground. I work 37 hours a week for £1900 a month take home. I'm in Newcastle and more than comfortable. 🎉
The guy on the talk show is dilutional. I don't live to work. I work to live. I don't get up every morning thinking I'll enjoy work. I wake up and wait for when I can clock off so I can do something I care about and enjoy doing. Work is not always good for the soul. I've worked numerous jobs that actively sucked the joy and life out of me. I dreaded going to work at one point, I became anxious and depressed. Find another job? Good luck with that. Low pay. Shitty hours. Zero hour contracts. No balance between what people want to do and what they're forced to do.
@zaza4892 I have a university degree in science based subject. But I also happen to be autistic so I really struggle with interviews. So no, I don't need to ask myself why I used to only ever get low paid jobs. I've applied to better jobs and got no response from most of them. I'm no longer in a living wage job, but that's only because I stuck at applying for jobs for well over 3 years. 3 YEARS. All whilst balancing work to pay bills, looking after myself and my relationships. And I did all that whilst being legally disabled. No benefits. No assistance from anyone other than my partner. We live in a world where corporations will hand out low wages and expect you to work silly hours. Business doesn't care about people. It cares about profits. If they can pay you less for more, they will.
That man is so out of touch. It really infuriated me whenever he said people are talking too much about work life balance. We spend too much time working and not enough relaxing
I get where he is coming from but not everyone is lucky enough to do something they love and make money at it. On top of this not everyone can be in a well paid job. Unless you are running a company its not unreasonable for people to want a holiday and some days off.
@zaza4892 where did I say luck was the only factor in someone's success? My point was not everyone will be able to do a job they love or earn good money.

Productivity comes down to what a nation produces. We produce little because over regulation has made the UK unattractive for manufacturers
The more you earn the more you are fleeced!
Pay them a wage they can live on not just exist , our wage is much lower than US and most of Europe because of stagnant wages under the Tory’s.
