Its just a generic filler article that gets posted about young people every year or two.
"Quiet Quitting" was the thing in 2022.
"Great Resignation" was the thing in 2021
You can find articles about this in 2019, 2016, omfg all over the place in the wake of 2008, "Jobless Recovery" from 2004 to 2006, in the 90s it was "Slackers" and in the 80s it was "Punks" and in the 70s and 60s it was "Hippies" and then back to Beatniks and Anarchists and of course, the old crowd favorite, Pinko Commies.
This is just a more recent mash up of the "China Bad" and "Nobody Wants To Work Anymore" meme
LOL, spot on.
