unwilling to stick it out at a toxic job

Thank fuck. It's going to take a while but maybe this is the end of diskless middle management generating endless bullshit work to justify their own existence. Almost every job has been mired down with so much box-ticking, pointless, ass-kissing, ego-stroking, bullshit that the actual work like nursing or construction governing a country has become secondary.

When I to a 5 min repair job at work I have to hand write a report, make a photo copy, give the report to another person who then types it into a system to which I do not have access. This was implemented by, and is strictly enforced by, the boomer and gen-x management which has seen the factory floor for less than 40 hours of their entire career.

I can't wait until the bulk of the boomers end up in understaffed, under funded old-age care and can't figure out why nobody wants to work any more. It'll make for some funny Fox News.
