Wait until the Boomers hear this one.
Over on Millennials Reddit, the 28-to-43 year olds who have found all sorts of reasons to avoid work (Bare Minimum Mondays, Quiet Quitting), are at it again with a claim that being in "gifted" classes during school has led to burnout.
Reddit user Cultural_Ad9508, a 34-year-old female with a civil engineering degree who works as an operations manager for a geotechnical engineering company, says she's fed up with the work world, and she's blaming her problems on the rat race associated with gifted programs in school.

Here I am, 34 and exhausted, dreading going to work every day. I have a high-stress job, and I'm becoming more and more convinced that its killing me. My health is declining, I am anxious all the time, and I have zero passion for what I do. I dread work and fantasize about retiring. I obsess about saving money because I'm obsessed with the thought of not having to work.
