I've been the one melting down in public fashion. Not because of entitlement or asking for more, but because my boss was a useless fuck. In the long run it was a poor way to handle things because it just landed me on a permanent shit list. Luckily I was always a top performer so I didn't get fired for stuff like this. You'd be surprised what you can get away with.

That was years ago. Nowadays, I see extremely poor work ethic with a deep sense of entitlement ubiquitously in the work force. For now the "ball is in our court" type worker has been alright due to high demand for employees, but this definitely won't last. These people are going to be burned the hardest whenever the big AI shift starts to happen.
