I gotta ask, before i got a white collar job, all the manual labor work I've ever done for pay was handyman type stuff alone or as a part of team of people I knew were hard workers. I only saw a man take a lower work load if he was already injured, sick, on a medication which prohibits heavy/dangerous machines, or just exhausted from caring for a newborn. But I hear from friends in different manual labor jobs that most new hires walk off on the first day and never come back, of the ones that do come back most either quit in this first month or follow the mantra of "just look busy."
Are so many people at factories and distribution centers really just phoning it in so to speak?
A large percentage of people will do as little as possible.
