As a GP in Germany, I struggle with the claim that “people don’t want to work.”@chris I'm so sorry. I can only try to imagine what it's like for your wife (living with pain, and maybe with the quieter ache of feeling unseen by the systems that were supposed to catch her). That loss of identity, of feeling needed in the ways she once was, sounds like its own kind of grief. I hope she finds moments, even small ones, where she feels like herself again, not because she's contributing, but just because she's here. 🫶

As a GP in Germany, I struggle with the claim that “people don’t want to work.”@zash I can't applaud loud enough for this view. In a world shifted by AI we need a radical new understanding about what we want to call work. As far as I comphrend social sciences is working on it for decades already.

As a GP in Germany, I struggle with the claim that “people don’t want to work.”@ozeng @alicemcalicepants you're of course absolutely right. However, my post merely suggested arguments I hear from patients every single day. Other factors (career, keeping job, ...) lie deeper and are not as easily exposed in a standard consultation.

As a GP in Germany, I struggle with the claim that “people don’t want to work.”As a GP in Germany, I struggle with the claim that “people don’t want to work.” In daily practice, I see the opposite: many patients push themselves to keep working, even when they should rest. They worry about burdening colleagues, unfinished tasks, or upcoming deadlines.
If we want to understand rising sick leave, we need to look at real factors: increasing workload, constant pressure, lack of recovery time, social isolation, and overall exhaustion. Reducing this to a question of “motivation” ignores both evidence and lived experience.
In my experience, people who genuinely try to avoid work are a tiny minority. Framing the issue this way feels similar to old narratives about unemployment—oversimplified, misleading, and disconnected from reality.
