    That analogy is really a big deal, and you would think the inflation that they lived through during the Carter and Reagan years would’ve made them as a whole, more sympathetic. We’re dealing with prohibitively expensive medical costs, and home ownership being a pipe dream, to where we try to explain to them that a $400k mortgage on a $70k wage/salary doesn’t equate to what they had available to them.

    There are some who get it, but anecdotally they seem obscure and silent in comparison to those who pulled the “nOboDy wAnTS tO wOrK AnyMOre” card.

    I really wish it could be highlighted how shitty people are treated when they’re trying to get employment. Between getting ghosted or some of the bullshit hiring managers have in their minds, I’m seeing that people who eventually do find a role are very well justified in just sticking to the job’s expectations, and “going above and beyond” is an uncommon practice.

    Ending hustle culture is one of the best things I’ve seen over the past year.

      Honestly the only time I go above and beyond is when I have a few hours left on the clock, and I need to find something to do outside of sitting down.

      Going above and beyond is something that only makes sense, if your boss is a sociopath and you really need a job, or you live in 1970 whatever and getting promoted up the corporate ladder is realistic.
