Our societies incentivize a bunch of bad behaviors, especially when it comes to projecting the appearance of productivity. So I find that unsurprising.
I'm not Catholic, but I recognize the seven deadly sins as valid moral precepts by any measure. Capitalism advocates for all of them excepting sloth. Get to work.
I think especially in the US, we've really normalized and to a degree even celebrate and rewarded being a tactless jerk who cuts corners or worse as long as they get what they want (usually money).
Doing hard work for better(quality, moral etc) results is very out of fashion.
