One thing I learned is that many jobs that are considered essential are also considered dead-end. I assume that's pretty demotivating for anyone doing such a job.

The thing that I learned was that “essential” really meant “an acceptable loss of life so long as the profits keep flowing to the upper management class”.
This isn’t just demotivating, its dehumanizing, and it’s the reason so many people I work with now won’t lift a finger to help stop the collapse of society. Just the opposite in fact: many people seem to be looking for a match to start the fire.

I'm sorry but what exactly do these people do that this is a power they have?
The "collapse of society" so frequently seems to be "small business owners need to actually give their staff enough hours and stop treating them valid targets for abuse".
