So for context, it was a group of like 6-10 on each shift. I was on one shift and moved to another after disputes with a coworker accusing me of stuff.
What I saw on both shifts was this: the job had mentally worn them out. There was a dreadful feeling, from both the boss from hell to the lack of documentation at work (we were debugging failed servers with no documentation, just notes each coworker had in Office 365), and more people seemed interested in doing one of two things.
Either work time was used to consoom media or to study certs/apply for colleges/uni (if the wagie boss didn't set up the web filter properly, I was unfortunately having a working web filter but coworkers didn't) . No joke. The whole feeling of this job was that it was so bad you couldn't even distract yourself from it, you wanted out of it as fast as possible. It was common to use Microsoft Teams as coworker Discord.
Other coworkers were taking BANTS to the extreme, and some nonwhite coworkers were using work time to browse shitcoin prices seeing if they could totally get rich investing on some shitcoin nobody has heard of, playing the markets like a problem gambler would scratch offs back in the day or "DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MEGA MILLIONS".
One thing I noticed is that coworkers had no passion projects or severe apathy for it. Those are for kids in their mindset even if they didn't say it because it's clear they were burnt out and blackpilled, or simply didn't give a shit.
And then I quit my job after having no home life and I realized too the other reason nobody has any, when you grow up with aggressive authoritarian parents who do a good job at snuffing out any passion with berating or medication, it's easy to fall into that trap. So many people I meet online seem to bounce between college that the parents won't shut up about (which they have no interest in), and wagecages to survive and dealing with berating from parents in between.
There's an entire lost generation and hustle culture seems enticing to someone who has never had passion.
