People call hard-work a ‘scam’ and no longer think it will lead to a better life (www.unilad.com)

It may have been the case before that people thought hard work brought a better life, but now things have changed

Professor Bobby Duffy worked on the study, and said that millennials have 'become much more sceptical about prioritising work as they’ve made their way through their career'.

I worked hard and my bosses noticed so I got rewarded with more work. I took pride in it at the time but eventually burned out hard and when I changed jobs they didn't even do an exit interview with me. I'm embarrassed by how much of a sucker I was.

Meh experienced the exact same thing, worked my ass off at a job was doing school on the side, the only thing I asked of my bosses was that I get one day a week off for school. They repeatedly kept giving me shifts on that day because I was one of the hard workers. One day I just got pissed and quit. Idk most jobs fucking suck.
