If I get a decent work life balance and a good pay – I would be willing to make overtime – even work on weekends (sometimes) and be loyal to the company.
I imagine this was the rule when boomers were in the workforce. Got a job without an HS diploma – overtime was paid 2x or 3x – not to much stress – and the company valued the worker. If I had it as easy as a boomer I owuld actually even perhaps enjoy work.
But as it is now? No way. You have multiple degrees and are treated like trash, the stress is unbearable and your contribution is not valued anymore. Dont blame me if i dont want to work then!
