That's a shit take. The reason things are so shit today is because in so many places you have one person doing the job of 3, as employees leave, some poor bastard scrambles to cover them, then management just doesn't bother replacing them so they and the shareholders can pocket that salary, leaving the remaining employee permanently overextended.

Or because an engineer will design a product, along with materials, testing, and manufacturing specs, and then management will use cheaper materials or cut out some testing and quality assurance because they can rest on their brand name, or their monopoly, then pocket the difference for themselves and the shareholders.

And even if none of those things apply, chances are you've got someone who worked their way through school and university with the idea that they'd eventually get a career with stability and income growth, only to end up in precarious employment, working stupid hours in shitty conditions, making only barely enough to survive if they're lucky - forget about saving or disposable income - again, because instead of investing in employee well-being, all those profits are being funneled to overpaid executives and shareholders.

If you can think of something that's been enshittified (everything), you can pretty much always draw a direct link back to greedy, overpaid executives, and shareholder profits.
