A recent Wall Street Journal article — an actual article, in the workplace/lifestyle section, not even an op-ed! — laments the recent trend of horrible, lazy workers who, umm … *checks notes* … tak…
I hated that article. I don’t need all of the charged language or opinion. Here’sthe WSJ article if y’all want to read it of note, the WSJ isn’t really making a determination here. Mostly just quoting out of touch executives and labor firms.
I’m all for work reform but how this comes back on the Wall Street Journal is beyond me.
I agree that the article linked here misrepresents the original. I think you could make a case for the original taking the old timey, generation-wars perspective of “these gen Z-ers and their entitlement”, although they’ve clearly tried to preempt it in the piece fairly explicitly.
I also agree that misrepresenting the article erodes trust in the outlet, although to what extent Boingboing has an editorial line these days I don’t know.

Yeah that article/site was weird. Felt really bias right off the bat
