Deflation will do that to people. You earn as much, but it can buy less, your dreams are fleeting, you see how the system is rigged, etc. It's perfectly normal for those people to mentally checkout from a non mentally stimulating environment. At some point you should do the real quitting. Not for another hustle, but for your own mental health. Because although even the dumbest jobs deserve to be done well, it won't happen without the pride of doing them well. And if you can't get there anymore, it's time for a change. Sometimes, a change is as good as a holiday. And it can bring a different perspective which will change your beliefs and eventually improve your life. Sorry for my 5c of morning philosophy but I've been there, multiple times.
