I love how the media re-branded "doing your job" to "quiet quitting". What the heck is going on? When I first saw the term "quiet quitting", I assumed it meant literally that, Office Space style, but what it actually means is "doing the job I'm paid to do". How ridiculous.
- ferrumfist 4y agoSpeaking of Office Space, the way it's branded in this article reminds me of the "flair" scene. Manager: "We need to talk about your job performance." Employee: "Really? I'm performing all the tasks and responsibilities I was hired to do." Manager: "Well, okay. Those are the minimums, okay?" Employee: "Okay..." Manager: "Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Brian, for example, has the responsibilities of a Senior Dev for half the salary. And he has a terrific smile." Employee: "Okay. So you... you want me to take more responsibilities?" Manager: "Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to work more and we encourage that, okay? You don't want to be a quiet quitter, do you?" Employee: "Yeah, yeah." Manager: "Okay. Great. Great. That's all I ask."
