How about paying a decent wage for those at the bottom, namely £15 to £20 per hour. That may encourage a better work ethic. Along with more flexible hours, a 4 day week and working from home where feasible.

I don’t think this is wrong but a lot of young people see the amount of tax they pay compared to the cost of living and decide to shut up shop. https://t.co/WOgy8RlPBM

Maybe create incentives to actually do so, like a realistic property ladder, increased wages etc. why should I break my back if the usual societal goals have become out of reach

You know what can really boost work ethic? Fair taxes, Disposable income, good public services, a safe community to live in…………

Brits do have a work ethic. The trouble is it counts for absolutely nothing when the wages are so crap. Employers need to value their employees and pay them what they are actually worth – and right now that isn’t happening

Brits’ current work ethic matches what they are paid. If employees got looked after by many of the employers out there, then they could rightly expect more from their employees

Are there 9 million jobs for the 9 million people who are not working. Are these real jobs not zero hour contracts, what did the govt his party recently led do to train these people and make them employable. Just some questions that could be asked. https://t.co/1wGa39DRUS
