Awhile back, you asked for evidence when I said that early wave Zoomers and late wave millennials just flat out didn't want to work. I don't remember where you asked for it, but here is a poll indicating 10% of young people saying they never plan on getting a job. The majority of first and middle wave millennials have been trying to fight stereotypes about us being "lazy" for 10-20 years, and we were just starting to make progress until this shit became popular.

PS: In spite of this observation, I try give individuals the benefit of the doubt and not throw people under the bus. The 2020s are a REALLY shitty time to be in your teens to early 20s, and the ones who are coworkers are, by definition, among the ones willing to work. Still, I can't help but be a little annoyed at how millennials as a whole have lost a lot of progress in terms of being taken seriously at work because of this nonsense.
Sometime in the 2000s I was on the subway and saw an ad that mentioned job being a abbreviation for Just Over Broke. Maybe people finally internalised that and instead want something more meaningful like either a career or going straight to starting their own businesses?
