The problem is the romanticization of useless work. America struggles with this especially because it's trying to destroy itself. If you ever wonder why there aren't more movies about women thinking their dream job is amazing and then finding out it's useless without a family to come home and be happy with, it's because they want to hide that truth.

The fact that the need for family is so deep in truth means that it'll correct itself, though.
Not to say you shouldn't still be anti boss baby, but more to say I'm sure there's enough evidence to hope for healing.
