I guess, specifically, this. It's like in Office Space (which obviously isn't the case for everybody, as some of you have made it clear your thoughts of poor African Americans etc.):

The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? ...So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.
Say all you want about work ethic, but it's easy to say that when you've (likely) been one of the lucky few to actually have been rewarded for doing hard work at a job.
