When Jobs Don't Matter: David Boyle's Take on Work Ethic and Tipping
And not only is there no incentive to care, there's just too many fucking jobs like. They're not going to get fired that often. They'll have like different jobs throughout their lives because they just continuously get fired for being a complete fucker.
Ever wondered why some people just don't seem to care about their jobs? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle shares a candid reflection sparked by his recent trip to Newcastle. Boyle recounts an underwhelming visit to a hair salon, which got him thinking about the broader issue of job dedication—or the lack thereof. He humorously compares the American tipping system, which often incentivizes better service, with Australia's more laid-back approach where tipping isn't as common.
Boyle doesn't stop there. He dives into the idea that too many available jobs might be causing this lack of enthusiasm. His controversial suggestion? Maybe a higher unemployment rate would make people value their jobs more. It's a provocative thought, but Boyle's signature humor makes it an entertaining listen. As always, Boyle's storytelling is both funny and thought-provoking, making you laugh while pondering deeper societal issues.
Whether you're curious about work ethics, tipping culture, or just in need of a good chuckle, this episode has something for you.
