Work ethic? Fuck you and your "work ethic." I do my job and I do it well because it pays me to do it and if I don't do it well, they could replace me. Why do I need a "work ethic?"
They want US workers to be cheap labor without sacrificing quality. It's impossible to do that so they're blaming the workers for being bad instead of blaming the companies for not paying workers well enough.
I recently moved some of our team's headcount from the US to cheaper countries (Balkan). Given how expensive the US is, it made no sense to hire there. You can't argue against math.
Plus, there are great ecosystems growing in these low cost countries.
