I've never met or know anybody like that.
Most people want to work.
There are always a tiny minority who don't.
My wife's currently advertising for staff, after four weeks she'd expect to be holding 30 to 40 CV's, she's had three applications. Same several months ago, and in an area where jobs are scarce. Either people are afraid to return to work, or are still receiving furlough and see little point in working, something's amiss, exactly what we're not sure.
Last weekend we had family visiting so we spent time at their hotel and a number of restaurants. The larger establishments tend to rely on immigrants and there was no shortage of immigrant labour that I could see, the shortage in hospitality seems to be with UK staff.
The hospitality biz has got harder because of covid restrictions and the labour shortage means the one's still working are often doing double shifts.
I really do believe that large numbers of people have been conditioned not to work because of lockdown and just want the restrictions to run and run, you only have to look at some posters on here who have overnight become expert epidemiologists and pontificate about the dangers of not isolating or returning to work before another year passes us by.
I took 3 months off in the 1st lockdown, built a small timber frame extension, built a large decking area and knocked out a wall to model a new kitchen diner, if I hadn't done that, I'd have made myself ill with worry or anxiety. Thankfully for us, normality resumed and we went back to work, for others, 18 months on, normality hasn't resumed and for many I doubt it ever will.
Listen Notch, I'm not saying these people are bone idle and don't want to work (obviously a minority are) but there are mental health issues around returning to work and we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg at the moment.
