The job market is filled with fake jobs, 10 round interviews, AI screening and even AI interviewers. The degree has lost its signal, jobs get >100 applicants, hiring is broken and many are not interested in underemployment. Articles like this is why I am not surprised anti-establishment is on the rise. Blame literally anything apart from the problem.

No kidding

1. too many interviews/screening

2. too much credentialism

3. emasculating environment

4. low pay

5. non-work alternatives (e.g., side hustles, Uber, disability )

6. inheritances and other help ( as people become wealthier and boomers die)

I cant even imagine what you mean by "emasculating environment"?

I wouldn't choose the word "emasculating", but certainly a demeaning environment of constant monitoring and micromanagement. I was talking to someone in the NHS recently, a professional doctor, who says the whole thing with endless micromanagement and paperwork is exhausting, and he wants out. It affects all employees, men and women.
