Survey results revealed that 59% of workers are “quiet quitting,” i.e. are not engaged; and 18% are “loud quitting,” which is the act of being actively disengaged
my brother involved us in conversation with some reactionary dude at the pool today who I could immediately tell would not line up with us politically when he mentioned having a home + paying money for his baby momma/wife/gf/idk to have an apartment without working, like, lmao that’s so much fucking money, but even he seemed like he’s about ready to fucking snap and sign up to kill bosses and landlords despite probably having an income ~100k (I assume. to afford a house, an apartment, and support 3? kids)
Quitting is when you do your job without a fixed rictus of ecstatic joy.
Gotta pump those numbers up
Uhh so what do you call it when you actually leave your job then?
Fuck dude I can’t stand this shit. Loud quitting is when you actually quit. Quiet quitting should be when you do NOTHING or ALMOST NOTHING and wait for them to notice, so that you get paid a little longer. Doing the requirements should just be, I dunno, working normally? Average work? Doing the minimum even? Not QUITTING lol
Exactly dude. I hate how “going above and beyond” is somehow expected as the standard. American work culture has the worst of Protestantism, boot strap-ism, and weird neo-federalism mindset all in one.
