  "Nobody wants to work anymore..." is always an incomplete sentence. "for these wages", "under these conditions", "for little gain", etc.

  No, they don't, and shouldn't have put up with it this long.

  Work is exactly the place where I discovered that I don’t want to work anymore.

  Lots of people say that they want to work, but then, when they accumulate enough money to retire, not only do they stop working, but they throw a fucking party to celebrate the fact that they’re not working anymore.

  So anyways, if you throw a party when you stop doing something, and nobody asks, “Why are they throwing this party? It’s nonsensical,” then it’s all a big lie and everybody secretly knows it. They just don’t want to say it and stand out from their group.

  The sentiment that people don’t want to work anymore is correct, but not for the reasons they’re saying.

  Nobody wants to do to the work of developing and mentoring entry-level hires. Hence entry-level positions requiring 5 years of experience in a technology that’s only existed for 3.

  Nobody wants to do the work of making a productive work environment, instead saddling one person with the responsibility of three. And not paying them appropriately.

  Nobody wants to do the work of making a product people actually want to use before aggressively monetizing it.

  Nobody wants to do the work of researching a technology before milking it for every penny. See: AI.

  I could go on.
