[quote=Anonymous]There have always been slackers.

In my lifetime, the pace of work sped up and there became the expectation of instant responses and quick turnaround. People are worn out yet they keep going and meeting these goals, IMO.

Commuting is a killer. We have to do it but it's onerous and yes, you can make it acceptable by listening to books or whatever but its still an onerous task.

WFH was a reset for people. They asked questions about life (we all changed some habits long-term) and work was one of the things examined and questioned.

People work hard and work smart and don't always achieve their goals and then have to recalibrate their expectations. That may be what you are observing.

There isn't room for everyone at the top or to be highly compensated. It happened to me and I am not alone. I did well, but not as well as I expected to.

Work is not everything. There were times where I loved it, escaped into it, veered into workaholism.

Retired now and did so because of examination during WFH.

I think thinking about our assumptions and questioning them is healthy. [/quote]
