boomers had the easiest run of any generation in history... that's why we're facing hard times, because good times created weak boomers.
we've received the shit end of the cycle.
Welcome to the club Mr. Nougat. Almost nobody really cares TBH. It's mostly people doing shit they don't want to be doing and making the best of it. When I used to code I enjoyed it for awhile. Then it got old, like everything does.
This guy lives with bears for fun. No shortage of adrenaline here.
The fact that you care at any point is the funny bit. I used to care a lot, like top of the company a lot. Then one day I started to realize that everybody around me is doing jack shit and getting paid more. I went and tried the raise route, that did nothing. So, I started gold bricking. Now I work about 3 hours a week, I particularly get worse and will only do 30 minutes of work if they start to piss me off. They tried to threaten my job, when I told them that if they could find anybody to take over my job they were welcome to, I'd even train them. Think that scares them worse, because I just don't give a fuck anymore. Also stopped advising on best practices as they never listened. Just whenever they want me to do anything stupid I get it in writing and print it out for my folder of preventing future lawsuits.

The corporation has failed to adequately structure your workplace to promote proper motivation in their workforce. They probably lack the professional skill to do so. This a common problem that exists in many workplaces, and sometimes it is accidental, while at other times it is quite intentional. The fact is, depending on the nature and value of the work you do, a cost benefit analysis applies to investment into improving worker motivation. Simply put, some workers are not worth investing in. Others very much are.

Took me a couple years but I realized that too.
Finally just said fuck it and started up my own business
Now the money I make is directly related to how hard I work

Start a company.
Even if you don't follow through with it. Go through all the steps for filling the company, write the mission statements, fill out the members paperwork, look into tax laws for single member llc. Look into what it would take to switch to an llc with employees. Check tax laws, benefits, etc.
Think about the money you would need to make to hire someone else at a salary you feel is livable.
Now picture that employee you hired slacking off for even one minute or feeling like they don't appreciate the job you made for them.
Is that who you want to be or do you want to be valued by your employer?

I enjoy my work and it makes a difference for the people who work with me. I work for myself.
However, even when I worked for others I took pride in my work.
No matter what you do, take pride in your work. It is good for you. That way you are spending your time doing something proudly and doing something well.
