    Wouldn’t Fortune claiming people don’t want to work be like Santa Magazine saying people don’t like Santa? You’d think Fortune would be like “hooray work, work makes you free”.

    Anecdotally I work at a factory myself and most people do not react with envy when I tell them.

      Not if Fortune is trying to blame the lack of manufacturing in the US on the workers instead of the greed of corporations. It’s called white washing.

      Anecdotally, I also work at a job that no one gives a shit about either. But I would still be upset if it got offshored. In fact, I did the very thing that they tell you to do, I figured out how to make money from one of my hobbies and personal passions. Now it’s just work and I refuse to do it unless I’m getting paid to do it. Look at how many YouTubers just fucking quit even if they are making a good living from it. My guess though is that since you’re still working there that you prefer it over the shittier options you have available to you? I bet it would even be better if there were more factories competing for your skills.
