Do lower your expectations.

Don't forget the market capitalists are the ones that both fed you those expectations through their media machines, captured government, and influence on education, and now expect you to work just as hard if not harder with no expectation of retirement or even enough to indulge personal hobbies or experiences as you subsist creating value for them, more and more likely than ever to death.

Also don't forget whenever you're pressured by their captured society to feel guilt for being lazy for not working even harder to enrich them in exchange for a tiny sliver of the value you generate them, you know the "you're poor because you do the minimum at work and don't also have 2 side gigs, sleep when you're dead get that grind brah" crap, that the owners live their lives on vacation, barking mandates, layoffs, and activist shareholder threats via email that subordinates will have to entirely plan and execute while buzzed and high from some elite club, resort, penthouse, yacht, or wherever they feel inspired to vegetate that day on your back.
