Perhaps there is something interesting here; but what is the comparison group? I am not convinced that earlier generations had values that better matched corporate interests. We were just more likely to show up. It can also be the case that both corporate and individual interests have walked further away from each other as individuals become more hyper-individualistic and corporations become more hyper-capitalist.

"We were just more likely to show up."

I have found that this is at least 50% of being a good employee: Showing up every day and doing your job. Many in Gen Z can't even handle this.

Hasn't every generation been unemployable?
