It's not modern society has conditioned people to believe this. It's modern business approaches and the demoralized feeling people have at their workplaces. They're treated like robots by higher ups and many times even by team leaders that they rarely even see. Workplaces have become dysfunctional and the feeling of workplace unity is hardly existing. Especially with how much racial justice and social justice has been increasingly diluting and ruining it for the past twenty something years. It's not the work that tires most people, who are reliable employees, out. It's the stress and lacking feeling of any purpose in workplaces. And their time to attend to traditional family is harder given that they're mentally worn out all of the time.

Furthermore, there's little pride in so many of these workplaces because these companies, especially the internationalist/corporatist varieties of business, make regular employees feel like they're going to be happily replaced by automation or outsourcing or a combination of the two any time now.
