“They just don’t want to work anymore.”

That’s not what’s happening.
People are tired of:
• Putting in 50–70 hour weeks and still living paycheck to paycheck.
• Missing birthdays, school plays, and family dinners for a job that barely notices.
• Getting “raises” that don’t even keep up with the cost of living.
• Saving money that loses purchasing power year after year.
• Being expected to stay online long after the workday ends.
• Watching coworkers get laid off the moment profits dip.
• Handing over most of their income just to keep a roof over their head.
• Depending on loans and credit cards to cover basic expenses.
• Seeing the prices of food, rent, healthcare, and utilities climb much faster than their wages.
People aren’t running from hard work.
They’re questioning a system where working harder doesn’t always mean getting ahead.
