The whining has been going on for decades in the workplace.
Remember the phrase "the squeaky wheel gets the grease?"
Those who complain and are difficult-- yet competent-- get rewarded.
Those who do not complain and just quietly do their job-- get overlooked.
This isn't a new phenomenon.
I think what’s slightly different is now you don’t have to be competent to get rewarded in many fields. Just complaining and being difficult will get you rewarded because competence is male privileged white supremacy.
Yes, I couldn’t cone up with the words.
I agree with your assessment. I learned to be a squeaky wheel (not excessively so). I think it has increased though.
