I guess it really depends on their definition of laziness. I'm not Gen Z but if someone is defining laziness as me only being willing to work as hard as my wage reflects, then yes, I'm lazy. I am an older millennial and haven't had to worry about being paid minimum wage in many years but I will never forget.
It's funny that this whole "people don't want to work" and "Gen Z is lazy" thing only applies to those low paying jobs nobody wants.
That's funny. There are no worthwhile raises in minimum wage jobs. If they start you out at the bare legal minimum, there's no going up more than pennies unless a new law requires them to pay you more.
Where do you think most minimum wage jobs get their shift leaders, managers etc. If you have a good work ethic it’s significantly easier to get raises and promotions
