Overworked, overpaid, undertaxed.
It's really depressing that we've got to this point where essentially people have decided that you can't fight the system and you may as well try to abuse it for your own ends rather than ending the abuse.
I like the idea of the wave of nihilism that goes "well, we were told to bring our whole selves to work, and this was family. If this is family, it ain't working, so we might as well be here for free Thanksgiving dinner."
Shitty metaphor, but I think I'm onboard with the idea of "company loyalty is a relic"; the "other half" of that being "I might as well work as much as possible" feels very... soul death.
