    So the millenial workers have had their spirits crushed, backs broken and expectations subverted to the point they’re considered “hard workers” now. I still remember when millenials were the ones considered lazy bums. Will only be another decade before gen Z become the “hard workers” and the next generation (I think it’s generation alpha) will be the “unreliable” ones. The cycle repeats infinitely under the current mode of production.

      Yes. That’s called “climbing the ladder” or “having your spirits crushed”, same thing.

      Old people don’t like when young people think they can start halfway up the ladder. It takes a few years before newbies learn that they don’t know everything and stop being insufferable pricks.
