That's the optimistic take. But there is also another grim reality in that some have simply given up (to some degree) and simply stopped caring as much. Less diligence.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoFair enough. But to me, those people should update their CVs and start looking. You're not a slave. No one owns you. Life is too short embrace "no meaning" as a means to make it through the word day. There's not a relationship in the world worth self-subverting for.
- starkd 4y agoyes, there are a lot of bullshit jobs from a decade of easy money. A whole generation of people has yet to experience a true recession. No one likes to be laid off, but recessions have some long-term benefits. It forces companies to reallocate resources into jobs that are more effective.
- coffeebeqn 4y agoIs that so grim? I didn’t set up society so that I’m required to expend most of my energy and a large chunk of my day to work for some random corporation I don’t care about. After 15 years of this it is very clear to me that this is a trade of my time for money. Nothing else. I’ll do everything I can to make that trade more in my favor. I also have many other uses for that time. My kids won’t be small for long, I have many hobbies I like to do, etc
- starkd 4y agoyes, that's the optmistic view. I'm just pointing out the flip side. There does seem to be a less diligent workforce of late. That has a lot of different side effects.
