I dont know about anyone here. I just know I can't stand lazy people. They go out searching for jobs for months. Now I know right now jobs are hard to find. Well if someone has been searching for nearly a year you would think they would jump at the right opportunity. Nope they rather say well I will call later. Why wait. Most places that are hiring are going to go after the first responders. I just dont see how some people can expect you to help them when they won't help themselves. They rather lay around and think things are just going to land right into their hands.
Sorry for such a rant but I am just fustrated with a few but mainly one person.

I agree with you. But there is some like my husband that does all he can to change from the job he is in to a better one and it is not always easy ,not because he is lazy. But now he is learning CPR and he will have a better opportunity to have a better choice in jobs.

Well my fiance has been out every week searching for a job. But its people who try who I dont look down on. People who just sit around though at home on myspace or hanging out with friends instead of trying though make me sick. Its like they dont care. Your husband seems like he is trying to better his self so he has more opportunity. I am not saying all people who haven't had jobs for a long time are lazy. I am saying the ones who are not trying are lazy. My fiance has been out of work for several months but I know he is out there trying hard to get work. He is even trying places where he is overqualified.

There is a big difference between being "lazy" and having a legitimate hard time finding a new job for those persons who are educated and qualified for higher paying positions. Going to school or taking classes to better yourself is not lazy. In such a case, I personally would not classify your husband as "lazy" at all. He is doing something to better himself and your lives. That is not a lazy person!

I know one guy that has never worked a day in his life. He lives in a house without any running water, heat, or any other luxury. I see him from time to time planting his garden. I asked him why he lived like that and he told me that he enjoyed roughing it. He went on calling me a fool for being a slave to consumerism and that i would never fully enjoy life. The guy is crazy but he had a point.

at least he is living life on his own terms, and not just living off others.

omg! this is the right post. thank you sooo much for saying everything that has been bottled up inside of me. don't get me wrong, i don't want to work for anyone else. this is why i work for myself. nevertheless, i sacrifice ALOT and work alot on my business. i take it VERY seriously, and spend at least 12 to 18 hours a day working on it. i hustle big time, and i respect anyone who does. i also had to be subjected to working for other people, while my business got to a certain point. i can understand if they don't want to be working for someone else for the rest of their lives, but to want to do nothing ?!!!! that gets to me. i too, am P.O.-ed at someone that is like that.

In my personal view, I think that in this financial downturn, it's best to just grab with what is out there whenever an opportunity arises. Never mind if one does not get the desired position or salary or the company of their dreams. Just make do with it, and when the economy picks up, they can go and achieve their dreams from there. Lazy is partly the reason why some people don't work...I believe that. And I also believe that some people are just lucky. If I notice someone like my friend whom hasn't been working for quite some time, I'll try to think of the possible reasons and then make my own conclusions.
Good discussion here..c;)

Some people dont have the greatest luck when it comes to finding jobs. I know that some people procrastate when it comes to looking for work and doing all that is necessary(like following up with a call, etc..) but just because some one is out of work after a year of looking doesn't mean they are lazy. I was looking for a job for almost two years before I finaly got one. I have a B.A. in Criminal Justice and a Paralegal Certificate. Ever place I went wanted exiperence, exiperence, exiperence!!! How can you get exiperence if no one hires you. I finally found a job that was willing to let me get the exiprence and that is were Im at now.
Im not saying that there aren't people who lay around and just wait for things to come to them, but not all people who cant or havent found a job that have been looking for a while is lazy.

People can relax and have "lazy moments", but no one should ever be completely lazy. Everyone has to do something in life.
