You’re not lazy, you’re overworked
The narrative that associates “just don’t want to work anymore” needs to die already. The reality is that most of us are stretched so thin that we’re barely keeping up. People are working doubles, covering shifts, and handling two departments alone with little to no acknowledgment. You can’t expect five people to do the work of ten and then blame burnout on laziness. I’ve seen some of the hardest working folks I know cry in the backroom, not from weakness—but from constantly being pushed with no end in sight. If people look checked out, it’s because they’ve been running on empty for too long. Recognize the weight before criticizing the pace.
