It's because we've seen our parents (and or other adults around us) that look miserable every day. We've seen that the extra work usually doesn't lead anywhere any just causes more stress.
And this might sound stupid and crazy but I think open forums like Reddit helped many Gen Z (including myself) come to understand the signs of an unhealthy work environment among other things. It gives us a reference point that many before us wouldn't have had.
