Zoomers want to work, we just don’t see much benefit in working anymore. We can’t afford houses, we can’t afford nice cars, nice vacations, etc. I’ve been working my ass off all year, and a 3 day vacation basically bankrupted me. There’s no time for fun when life is steamrolling you, and now inflation is greasing the ground you’re running on.
It all just seems so fake, so pointless. It’s no wonder people are just giving up. Watching my parents take 0 days off for decades and still not have enough to retire in their late 50s… it’s just rough.
They weren't sitting on their asses, though.
You have to have a job in order to quit it.
Yup, and you can’t collect if you quit.
