As millions of Gen Z’ers across China find themselves in the category of NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), many have adopted a new schedule of doom scrolling, napping throughout the day, refusing to leave the house, and ordering takeout, with some of them chronicling their ‘rat people’ low-energy lifestyle on social media.
What do you think?
“You’re lucky I even took the time to load your stupid article.”
“If these children truly wish to rest all day, they should apply for management positions like everyone else.”
“I don’t mind the rat-people lifestyle, as long as they remember to log their inactivity for the quarterly productivity report.”
