"Coast" a.k.a. perform only the duties as agreed in your contract, without going above and beyond. A.k.a. "quiet quitting", or the preposterous idea that the company doesn't own the time they don't pay you for.
I'm a somewhat long-time Googler and really dislike this anti-labour narrative.
- lupire 3y agoYou can also not do your duties and bet on management not noticing.
- lrem 3y agoThat might be possible in some medium-sized companies. In megacorps probably about 5-10% of your time goes into various flavours of performance management. To hide for any significant amount of time, you'd need to have your manager actively cover you.
- chaostheory 3y agoIt’s not an anti labor narrative. It’s reality. When you start having families, you slow down. Many googlers who want to keep pushing tend to leave Google
- jdiff 3y agoThe whole idea of that being "quiet quitting" is preposterous. For many, many jobs that's just called a good work-life balance. They're buying your time in order to complete a task, they're not buying your soul. They want a task done, do the task. Doing just your job and no more is not a bad thing lol
