And I’ll keep on saying that if you are an employer, you do have some obligations to your employess, who are- after all- essential to your coninued wealth. Yes, people should do what they can to improve themselves and their situation. But I don’t consider working 40 hours a week (or whatever miserable hours your boss has assigned you) to be “slacking and screwing around”.
Agreed to disagree.

Never said it was slacking and screwing around - not even close. What I keep saying is that if the employer can go out in the street and flag down nearly anyone to replace you, it is up to you to give him/her a reason not to. In this case, employees are essential to the continued operation of the business (whether it’s the local bodega or Wally World); a particular employee is not.
