Insight On those Who have to Work

Eh... I've seen both happen a lot lately. You're right that some management doesn't give a fart in a whirlwind about the employees, but they are also right about a LOT of people just not wanting to work any more.

I see a lot of retiree's re-entering the work place. Sadly, FICA is still taken out of their paycheck. And when they can't live off the FICA tax return in that form of social security checks now, it makes it worse to take it out when they get a supplemental job.

And if they make too much money at that supplemental job their SS benefits are cut.

Some forego retiring and stay gainfully employed.

I know a woman who worked for that very reason. Her job was such that management didn't care about her SS loss should she clock too many hours.

Other employees weren't reliable so she'd have to stay clocked in until a replacement could arrive. Risking her SS to cuts.

She finally quit because management didn't work with her or respect her concerns.

It's a different world now for sure.
My brother-in-law worked one job for 40+ years, never missed a day.

Now, at all the workplaces of friends and even my own, it's typical for people to not show for work. Happens every day.
And when they do show, they still have a job.

I think that's one reason companies hire those over 50. They've a different and usually better work ethic.

All valid complaints. But the real reason it's happening now is the push for socialism. People believing either the government or the 1% owe them something so they don't have to work.
And many that do work do it poorly. I recently read where a business refused to hire young people because they were so much trouble. The final straw for them was when a new, younger, employee wanted her bf to hang out at her job all day so they could chat while she worked.

It's been a while since I've worked (disabled) but last I worked 39 hours was still full time, hence benefits. In fact anything over 32 hours a week was full time.

Well working everyday I seen it is because of horrible conditions . But some just do not want to work. But that is nothing new for sure.

I have had several people talk like people do not want a job. That is the only reason I put this on here. It is an insight on what goes on at these jobs. They lie to people and when you start the job and sadly have to leave it have had people make remarks. I was put at the last job for God's purpose many these days do not serve the Lord. But I am not staying. My hands are much better and still a little discolored from the frostbite. But they are almost healed PTL!

The Scripture says those who will not work should not eat.
I am all for helping those who are truly in need, provided it is not because of their laziness or stupid decisions or lifestyle.
If a person quits a job, regardless of how bad it is, should go hungry.
I will help their kids, but not that person.

I have my thoughts on being tired of working. But it is because of all the stupidity in charge.

I went into Arby's here and saw a man dropping fries that had to be in his 80's . He didn't move very fast but did manage to get the fries in. Sadness me some to think the government does not give the elderly what they need to survive. Probably just trying to keep what he has. I worked in healthcare as a STNA, heard it many times . They don't have enough income to live on their own.

Ours is not to judge the helpless, it is to help the helpless.

Today's senior retiree's suffer because the American voter was lied to in the 1930's. SS started as a referendum vote. To sell it to voters the lie they were told was the monies taken from their paycheck would serve as their individual retirement fund. And would acrue interest over the years to the day they retired. Then it would be portioned to them every month.

Nothing was further from the truth. And the lying politicians of the time knew it.

So did Roosevelt when he signed the bill into law in 1935.

There's an elderly lady that works as the dining room maid at the local McDonalds.

A friend takes his kids there. Before they leave he quietly tips her handsomely for her service.

He says it's because he sees his possible future or those of his kids if things don't turn around.

That's sad. And yet a true blessing for the lady.
That is unless or until the IRS thinks that is a possibility for all such services. Then they'll find a way to assess a tax on her probable tips.

I agree with this, but one does not help a lazy person by allowing him to have food when not working.
It also takes from those truly in need.

She is actually not supposed to take tips. But I have found a way around it. I give them money and go this is what I owe you. God bless have a nice day . I worked awhile back for Ollies and people would tip me. I was told I was not allowed to keep it . But someone suggested I put it in my drawer . Two reasons I did not . One they didn't pay me enough to fatten their wallets. The other I felt compelled to bless the customers who ran a little short. Someone made a comment toward me doing this. My simple answer was fire me. Like to see the reason put on it why they fired me. It was a temp job to hire. I did not stay, because they had me running register, stocking shelves, cleaning bathrooms, and counting all the drawers. Which was not in my job description for 11 dollars an hr. Not enough money to kill myself for.

John Hagee gave such a speech years ago.

Saying, if you're a disabled Vet and don't work, STARVE! If you're a single mom and don't work, STARVE! Then do to the fallout once the broadcast was uploaded to YouTube he invoked copyright and YouTube pulled them.

John Hagee is morbidly obese and a multimillionaire whose ''church'' has no known community or congregational support programs operating in Dallas Texas.
And his speech was not biblical.

It's easy for the fat and wealthy to judge the desperate and starving. A tragedy of a man labeling himself a man of God.

When I was a cashier I kept extra change in my pocket to help people who were short a little.

A homeless woman came into the market where I worked. It was an inferno outside and she was crying from the heat and thirst.

I'd just gotten off work. I walked her to the drink fridge and she got an ice tea. Then we walked about the store and shopped for drinks and nonperishables.

Save for the grace of God there go I.

What ye do for the least of these.

This is why it is so important to plan ahead.
To rely on the government or an employer's retirement fund

There are many that are in need of help.
When we help the lazy, those who could work but choose not to, it takes from what we can give to those who are indeed needy.
I will help his family but not the one who chooses not to work when he is able.

Life happens and sometimes people are not given the education or opportunities and God can use us to bless them. I never want to look down on someone having a hard time. Like the woman at the well been married several times. She was looking for love, only Jesus knew her heart amen.

Yeah he turned me off on alot of things years back when he preached how being a drunk will send you to hell. I sat there thinking what about being morbidly obese? I do not want people to think me unkind to point that out. But seriously what gives anyone the right to be that cruel to say things like that . I am a veteran and would be offended if I had heard that. He grieves my spirit. This hate and bashing one another tears people down. Are we not supposed to lift one another in prayers? So much blood on these people's hands for passing judgement on others. Perhaps why more and more I stay to myself.
