Why is Gen Z so Poor?

I'm a millennial, I understand Gen Z's "lack of work ethic", we saw our parents work their whole adult lives only to end up losing their jobs, home and pensions in 2008. Things never fully recovered after that. Edit: "Lack of work ethic" is obviously a BS take, it's a way companies try and make you feel guilty for not breaking yourself for their bottom line, which nobody's gonna do in an unstable job market that doesn't give the same returns it did 10 or 20 years ago.

The saying "just work harder" is the gaslighting corporates and billionaires have been using to keep us chasing that bag that will truly never be ours

Growth for the sake of growth is the philosophy of a cancer cell.

DO NOT overextend yourself for any employer. They will not go to your funeral or comfort your loved ones if you drop dead. They will not hesitate to replace you.

If you put in extra effort at your job, the reward is typically more work, not higher pay.

It’s a special kind of torture to be called lazy by people far wealthier than you when you physically cannot work enough hours in a day to afford a life.

No one was ever on their death bed saying " I wish I worked more hours".

People are not getting lazy, people are realising that they are working to make others rich.

My favorite thing is when I’ve applied for thousands of jobs had less than 10 interviews and then get told I don’t have enough experience for an entry level job. Then some boomer or Gen-X will tell me that I’m just not trying hard enough.
