The level of abuse and mismanagement I put up with before I got older is pretty shocking. Young people have a much higher tolerance for BS, in many cases because they don't have enough experience to know that their workplace is broken.

Or worse, they may internalize it as normal and unreflexively continue breeding the problem. Those olderish managers of young people were young people themselves, once.

Yeah, it's much easier to end up in a malfunctioning workplace than a good one. The number of healthy workplaces where everything seems to just work is shockingly small, and you are actually lucky to end up in ONE through an entire career. And then you can never go back.
