Calvinism, which is basically the theological roots of a lot of western European culture, believed in predestination and being both industrious and thrifty were seen as signs you were the kind of person who was predestined to be the elect of Heaven, which ironically made people try to act like "predestined elect" as possible, so work was seen as an act of religious practice. This eventually got divorced from its theological roots, but the culture never really shook the notion of hard work being its own ideal to strive for. So boomers get extremely butthurt at people who don't want to work harder than necessary or only see work as a means to a greater end. This is why they see low-level service employees as lesser human beings and think they should get "better jobs" despite themselves partaking in these services and obviously wanting to have them. This is why Mike Rowe gets upset at jobless young men and think they need to "get out there and work" but doesn't have any particular idea of WHAT work they need to be doing so badly and why, he just wants them to be working for its own sake

Boomer "Work Ethic" is communism.
Unironically.
>hard work is its own reward!
>who cares if your boss Mr. Shekelberg makes so much more than you You don't run the company! you just need to work harder for Comrade Shekelberg!
>who cares if the State exists to put up so many barriers of red tape that only Mr. Shekelberg's company CAN exist? you're just lazy!
>Work sets you free!
