    You got it backwards though. The root cause is not the change in work ethic. The change in work ethic is the symptom. People have to get nitpicky about breaks and such and show no loyalty entirely because companies stopped being loyal to their employees. This can be demarcated with the death of the pension.

      I’m not simping for big corporations. They definitely have issues. But how did they get that way? A change in work culture in my opinion. Also, if somebody saved %15 of their pay from the time they’re 18 until they’re ready to retire around the age of 62-65, they would be a multi-millionaire and able to live off monthly payments until they die. Assuming you invested in some mutual funds or something similar. Nothing too risky.
