It gets worse Khaine. New startups and companies being run by Millennial are a joke. They are too deep into this; and they encourage and nurture a culture of mediocrity.

But everything will eventually even out. Remember when it was claimed that QE will not bring inflation because MMT? How did that turn out Morties?

I wonder if we shouldn't go back to addressing coworkers by their last names, to restore the lost sense of professionalism.

This might not apply to you, but it has helped me immensely to cut back spending money for pretty much anything. This means I get to work 70% or even less and still have a kids. I know it's not always easy, but there are people living very healthy and happy lives with minimum wage.

However I'm also aware that not everybody has that luxury, but I feel like most people have at least some options. Try to convice your boss that you can work 90% or something. Even getting rid partially of unhealthy work situations is a win.
