And unfortunately, situations like these—where you have earnest, motivated young workers who want to progress or improve situations—end up draining all youthful energy or desire to put forth one’s best effort.

It’s made what should be benign concepts such as “workplace culture” into toxic meme food. Then management is all shocked pikachu face when morale is low, no one seems to care about customer service and people treat the job as disposably as the job treats them!
Thanks for the kind words, I hope the powers that be figure it out before someone gets the idea to sell 2 for 1 torch and pitchfork bundles

Better sooner than later! They’ve racked it up in spades.
