You might be right or it might have always been this way. It might have always been this way but it might be more today. Some thoughts
- Covid made people realize how delicate/short life can be.
- There isn't really a concept of holiday in the US. From what I understand a month a year is typical in Europe.
- Min-maxing profit has taken most fulfillment out of most jobs.
- Spending your 20s until your 60s, 70s, or 80s grinding away at a job isn't attractive to people today.
- Government regulations typically benefit corporations over workers, so may people feel the game is rigged from top to bottom.
- Employees rarely get any type of incentive to work hard other than the threat of getting fired. (see Office Space).
- Work culture is so transparently phony and that turns people off.
