Health-Club Employee Stops Going To Work After Two Weeks

MONTCLAIR, NJ?Only two weeks after signing up as an employee at Onward Health And Fitness, area resident Jennifer Lazar, initially enthusiastic about shedding excess debt in time for summer, has already lost interest in her "tedious" five-day work routine, sources reported Tuesday.

"I knew it was going to be tough and that it would take time to see any changes in my bank statement, but going to work day in and day out got old real fast," Lazar said.

Although Lazar, 25, started with zeal as a receptionist for the popular Montclair-area health club, pledging to "wake up early each morning and hit the gym's front desk right away," her enthusiasm quickly ebbed when the reality of the job's demanding regimen began to sink in.

I love the Onion, too. Very funny.

But what is NOT funny is that there are people like that girl, who get a job and then just don't show up because it's "too hard". I've seen it happen over and over and over again. Someone reports to me that they got a job, and by the time I get it verified, they've already quit! Or they tell us that if they take a job, they'll lose their TANF and food stamps. So??? Isn't it better to pay your own way, than to make ME pay your way?

Didn't mean to rant. On the one hand, it is a funny story. On the other hand, well, I see it all the time.
