Lazy Workers

Today we finished reading A Message To Garcia. Elbert Hubbard has a unique view on American workers. He feels like people are lazy and incompetent and he just want to beat them with a club. People now a days don't work hard to get stuff done. They take more time making up excuses to get out of it then just doing what they're asked to. The essay was written into a book and a pamphlet sold over 40 million copies. It was translated into 37 different languages. Not only was the small essay written into a book, it was also made into a movie twice. I think that this is insane because the essay was only three pages long and they made it into all of this stuff. Hubbard thinks that although we sometimes pity those who work in sweat shops we should really pity those CEOs that can't find the right people to work for them. They have to keep firing people because they don't do their jobs. Some of these beliefs still hold true today but now people actually understand that they have to work hard to keep their jobs. People who become known as reliable are going to be valued and people who are known as lazy are not going to get far in their jobs.
