Who get's to decide what lazy is?
The Boss.
Problem is, in this current employment environment we get to enjoy many written warnings, mediation and retraining, reinstatement after being sacked for being a waste of space and the merry-go-round starts all over again if you want to stay where you are and be a piece of wood.
Most bosses don't like to fire staff, but all bosses don't like to have to retain the dead wood either.
Being able to give people the sack without notice is a good motivator, but we don't have that in this country; maybe a reason why most large (manufacturing) organisations have left the building.
In California, you can be fired on the spot. Doesn't stop people from moving there to live and working there though.
