    The sentiment that people don’t want to work anymore is correct, but not for the reasons they’re saying.

    Nobody wants to do to the work of developing and mentoring entry-level hires. Hence entry-level positions requiring 5 years of experience in a technology that’s only existed for 3.

    Nobody wants to do the work of making a productive work environment, instead saddling one person with the responsibility of three. And not paying them appropriately.

    Nobody wants to do the work of making a product people actually want to use before aggressively monetizing it.

    Nobody wants to do the work of researching a technology before milking it for every penny. See: AI.

    I could go on.
