I stand corrected, you are obviously very relaxed about the whole topic to the point you will “phone the boss lol”. To me you’re sneering at people who are doing poorly paid gig economy jobs. Maybe when you get some experience of the real world you will learn things are seldom so straight forward and black and white.
Next time you ask someone to give you some slack in your job (maybe extending a deadline? Maybe moving something around to accommodate you?) you might understand how even something as simple as “moving from a to b” is not always as easy as you think.

I’m going to have to agree with you. I feel bad for the people that have really bad jobs and really bad pay but so many times I see people that can’t even perform the bare minimum of their job and I’m confused about why they have a job to begin with. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old but it seems to be getting worse lately ever since the pandemic. Honestly I think that all the schooling from home during the pandemic has made a port impact on our youth’s education.

Exactly.
And please don't anyone get me wrong, I'm in no way saying "Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!" or "Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs", I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain't-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h's worth. If you're in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven't rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny's worth of labour above $7/h.
But there's a difference between 'doing 125% when you're being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free' and 'well I don't care about this job so I'm not even going to attempt the literal minimum.' If you're getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.

You literally ended your post with “phone the boss lol”.
