are workplaces getting worse or are we just less intolerant to adversity?

i’ve thinking about this lately because i’m thinking about quitting soon. and i’ve talking to co workers and friends that tell me that everyone feels the same way. burned out. feeling like quitting any day now. we work in a church as permanent staff, and we hear the same about other churches all around country. but also from mcdonald’s and carls jrs. and also from walmart and target so it’s really that bad all over the world? or are we just more fragile in our way of tolerating change and adversity? i don’t like that “suck it up and carry on” attitude my parents tell me i should have. but i know that’s what they did. and i know everyone does. so it’s been really getting worse? or is just we’re built differently? i’m more afraid i’m never gonna develop a healthy amount of tolerance to pain and frustration. but…

we work in a church as permanent staff, and we hear the same about other churches all around country.
but also from mcdonald’s and carls jrs.
and also from walmart and target

so it’s really that bad all over the world? or are we just more fragile in our way of tolerating change and adversity?

i don’t like that “suck it up and carry on” attitude my parents tell me i should have. but i know that’s what they did. and i know everyone does. so it’s been really getting worse? or is just we’re built differently?

i’m more afraid i’m never gonna develop a healthy amount of tolerance to pain and frustration. but i don’t feel like putting up with constant frustration.

it’s this just a product of young immaturity?
i feel like burnout comes from expecting things to get better some day soon, but never actually doing so. hope. but i want to know because if it never gets any better, i’ll better get ready.
