I really don’t like the term “quiet quitting” though. A person who is doing their job well according to the working hours in their contract is not quitting anything. Why is there even an expectation for the whole f’in company to go above and beyond?
If that happened, would they rate everyone “5/5 - leading performance/goes above and beyond” in performance reviews?
Even if they did, they wouldn’t hesitate to lay them off if that helps them improve quarterly earnings (and lets the CEO keep their multi million $ stock bonus).
- MBCook 2y agoOh you’re right. It’s a fantastic piece of branding, right up there with “death panels”. It immediate sounds like the worker’s fault since quitting is an active verb, even though as you said they’re doing exactly what is asked of them. Not only had companies been pushing people to work harder for less, the pandemic gave them the opportunity to disparage those who weren’t happy about it!
