A future-of-work expert said Gen Zers didn't have the "promise of stability" at work, so they're putting their personal lives and well-being first.

Precisely my point. Like when you kick a dog, why would it say "thank you", or "please sir, but could you kick me again some more, and this time harder"? THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN!

The younger generations have given up, hence they do not work as hard, but it wasn't their choice - they simply reacted to what was offered them. From a pure game-theoretical standpoint even, it is the right call to maximize gains and minimize losses, given the rules under which they are "playing".

But the people blaming the younger generations... it is like blaming that dog, rather than the one who kicked it - it makes no sense?
