Before we judge Gen Z harshly for their take on the grind of work, as a Boomer I’m here to remind you that Dolly wrote the same message over 40 years ago in “9 to 5”:
“Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it”

She’s not complaining about work though? She only has issues with the commute. You can work 6 hours a day, but if everything were zoned as single family detached housing you’d still hate it. Because bad city design is the thing that makes it bad.
Ahem, regardless of the lady in that video’s take on it, perhaps you should acquaint yourself with some of the lyrics Dolly Parton wrote in that song, such as:
"They let you dream just to watch them shatter,
You’re just a step on the boss-man’s ladder"
It’s pretty much a union call to arms - It mentions, “getting together with a lot of your friends, waiting for the day your ship’ll come on, and the tide’s gonna turn and it’s all gonna rollllll your way”.

Ok? Still off topic to the video though. Unless there are unions that lobby for modern zoning laws?
It’s ok to criticize a 9-5 job, but that’s not what the lady complained about. So I was simply confused by the reply in the tweet.
