But nobody wants to work! - ¡Pero nadie quiere trabajar!

 4 vignettes in Spanish regarding the topic of the current job market in Spain (and sort of elsewhere). The title is chosen as this saying ("nobody wants to work") is normally chalantly used by older generations criticizing the "softness" of the younger generations without realizing the struggles of many youngsters (and not so youngster) to have a proper job fitting their skills and expertise and paying the basic needs with the job they have, not to mention the constant abuses and new ways of exploitation coming out with the 2.0 technologies (I curse the LinkedIn era!).

No need to translate this paragraph to Spanish, the vignettes speak for themselves in said language I think:

(In Spain there is the saying "to be plugged" or "have a plug" -"estar enchufado" o "tener enchufe"- which means having contacts and good networking for landing in good and comfortable jobs. Hence this vignette)
