>Gen Z would be better served by building a sustainable career and life they enjoy. Okay.. >Millennials inherited a job market offering unstable employment >Chronic stress, burnout, depression and anxiety are all factors that could be triggered by work >However, there are many who “retire” from one job just to pivot into another line of work that perhaps better aligns with creative passions, interests, or doesn’t pay well. Or one person retires and their spouse works, which makes the argument of retirement complicated. Somewhere along the line, the author forgot to mention how one can even get to that 'sustainable career and life' reliably, and only mentioned several reasons why it won't happen.

More and more and more the United States's problems are summarized as "mass cognitive dissonance" because there are a lot of people whose entire world view would collapse and leave them with very little, were they to stop dunking their heads in the kool-aid every day. Even worse if you're part of an older generation and deep down part of you knows that you're equivocating and rationalizing a dying dream. Maybe throw in a dose of American exceptionalism too, for the folks in the thread implying that, well, I shouldn't quote that phrase, that's tacky, but we'll just glorifying, justifying and seemingly promoting the soul-suckingness of work because their own soul is devoid of any individual or social pursuits outside of work.
