I've heard it said that employers brand it "quiet quitting", because if they named it something less disingenuous, it would remind people that the opposite of quiet quitting is called "wage theft".
- daniel-cussen 4y agoDude Corporate America means wage theft. Like there are niches but they're not worth the sacrifice if you actually adjust for risk. I'm trying to come up with the alternative, because it turns out there must be a leader and he or she must set things up so there can be another way. Just has to be a virtuous leader who is virtuous because he wants to, like the ideal Confucian Korean King. I'm considering how much to pay people for commuting, I can if I can afford it, just need a lot of profit from a lot of margin from a huge speedup. I know how to do that, that yes. The rest is highly speculative. https://www.fgemm.com https://www.fgemm.com

Even sourcing the original article is tricky since almost everything is discussing from a post-TikTok perspective. Corporations are indeed psychopathic monstrosities, but if they were trying to control the conversation with this term then it didn't have any mindshare prior to the backlash.

- ThePadawan 4y agoThat's really clever! Unfortunately (working internationally, where English is not everyone's first language), this might go over 90% of people's heads :(.
