“Whoever frames the issue first, wins.” —-George Lakoff
“Quiet quitting” is a frame implicitly shaming workers for not providing more than the contracted work.
Similarly, “Quiet firing” could be a frame for employers paying employees the contractual amount without additional compensation for any effort above the contracted amount.
In these terms, employers have been “quiet firing” forever.
Note which frame is being repeated and by whom - as an indication of which frame and interests these outlets represent.
(I did not invent the “quiet firing” counter-frame, I just find it to be a great example of framing the issue)
“If you get your opponent to use your frame, no matter what they say, you still win” — also George Lakoff
- jstx1 4y agoI don't get how 'quiet quitting' carries any shaming connotations. At least in my mind it doesn't.
- p_l 4y agoI think they are trying to frame it as quitting, as in "quitters vs winners", or giving up, etc. It's a very BS term that tries to harass people into doing charity for the rich.

"Lockdown made Brits lazy and entitled, they will face a rude awakening CAROLE MALONE There's a new craze sweeping the nation. It's called Quiet Quitting. It's a craze that started on TikTok, the same social media platform that encourages people who aren't disabled to pretend that they are in order to dodge airport queues. Nice, eh?"

- shapefrog 4y agoAppologies, I was simply quoting an award winning journalist at one of the major print media outlets from the UK and their well reasoned journalism on the subject to decipher if there were or were not negative connotations to the so called term "Quiet Quitting"
