Someone Shares “Nobody Wants To Work Anymore” Starter Kit, People Respond With More Pics Of Dreadful Working Conditions (30 Pics)

Lately, complaints that “nobody wants to work anymore” have been all over the headlines. Businesses claim there’s a real talent shortage with people losing motivation during the pandemic and not bothering to apply to their jobs.

Many of them forget that job seekers these days are smart enough to do their homework and find the information about the employer before they bother to apply. And if they don’t like what they learn, they skip the ad and go on to another one. In fact, 95% of job seekers surveyed by Glassdoor say an employer's reputation impacts their decision. Call it captain obvious, but many business owners seem to be totally oblivious about it.

And often you don’t need to dig deep to find red flags in a job description. Awful working conditions and unattainable expectations repel potential employees for the sake of their own good. So when Twitter user Janel Comeau shared some examples of disastrous job conditions with the caption “‘nobody wants to work anymore’ starter kit,” people immediately responded by sharing some more. Below is quite a solid collection of jobs that scream “run” from a mile away.

This Twitter user shared a couple of pics of awful work conditions to point out how delusional business owners are to complain that 'nobody wants to work anymore'

If you’re still more or less convinced that nobody indeed wants to work anymore, has gotten super lazy, lost their talent, doesn't care about their mortgages, bills, loans and things they’re gonna put on the table today, let’s take a look at one illuminating experiment. Not so long ago we wrote about a guy named Joey Holz who went viral after applying to 60 places and getting a single interview. This took him 2 applications every day for an entire month of September. I would call it a pretty legit job search, wouldn’t you?

After Holz’s experiment made the headlines, he realized he’s not the only one who just otherwise could be written off as unsuccessful. But he said he’s now heard from people all over the country who have had trouble getting any response from companies they applied to. For example, there’s a woman in LeHigh Acres who showed her Indeed page with a whopping 114 applications submitted and no interviews.

Now, Holz is on a mission to expand on his experiment. He invited others to share their personal job hunting experiences in a bid to find out "what's really happening in the labor market." The idea is to challenge the infamous employers' complaints that there's a labor shortage because "nobody wants to work." Here is the link to his latest project called “All Of Us Experiment.”
