Coworkers are less ambitious; bosses adjust to the new order
> In a recent job listing for a property-and-casualty insurance agent, TGS laid out those expectations: “If you’re just OK with getting by, or are a ‘quiet quitter,’ this will be too fast paced for you. We’re looking for people that want a new Mercedes.”<p>No wonder they aren't inspiring Gen Z. A Mercedes isn't a status symbol for Gen Z, and it barely is for Millennials.<p>I'm glad to see people recognizing the emperor has no clothes. Sacrificing yourself for a company you don't own--at all, never mind completely--won't make you wealthy. The company wouldn't employ you if you weren't providing them more than you cost them. It's never been easier to create enough value on your own terms to sustain yourself and not let someone else siphon out your value on their terms.
