Meanwhile in the world of work

The good news:

few workers think their jobs are meaningless, despite some claims the view is widespread;

the bad news:

workplace bullying & abuse are too high (if not at epidemic proportions that some fear);

and:

hybrid working is a much more longer term shift in working practice, and as such explains why people are resisting the recent call to 'return to the office'!
