'Would you flip burgers for $300k a year? Yes? Then it's pay that's the problem': 24 Clever comebacks to the classic line, 'nobody wants to work anymore'

Nobody wants to go to work on a Monday. 

Whether you're a manager at a retail store or a lunch lady at a middle school, there are days when your time on the clock simply doesn't feel worth it. But if you were the CEO of a Fortune 500 company making thousands of dollars a second, perhaps your work time would feel a little more fulfilling–filling your pockets.

Recently there's been a scourge of 'people not wanting to work anymore', but maybe it's more than the fact that we don't want to commute to our 9-5's. I'd argue that the workforce doesn't want to scramble to clock in if it means scoring a measly paycheck and getting some quippy back-sass from our micromanaging bosses. It's not that we don't want to work, it's that we don't want to work without pay…

If you agree that you're not being paid enough for your work, keep scrolling to read some of the best comebacks to the folks who think that people just don't want to work anymore!
