Then don’t work at a corporation. There are plenty of startups / small businesses out there who are in dire need of talented people.

Promise of what? I think the major change with millennials and gen z is that we see through the dogmatism that is corporate culture. Even if the promise was that of the “American dream” 50 years ago it’s quite clearly not worth it to sacrifice your youth and 1/3 of your life (another third being sleep) to afford to sit around in a house and squeeze in stagnant social obligations for the rest of your life. Life is what you make of it, and familial loyalty to a company that doesn’t care about me just doesn’t cut it.

The single most toxic place to work is a startup. The people who make it there tend to be entitled narcissists.

Some of us gen x saw this in high school but were surrounded by angry boomers who treated us like we were idiots.
