I don’t know if there is objective definition on quiet quitting but this one feels off and a little gross to me. You can work your agreed upon hours with no overtime and still do an amazing job. This definition paints folks working full time jobs as slackers because they aren’t doing overtime, which in most cases is going to be free overtime.
Company propaganda. Definitely has all the ick
Plus, how is doing your job 'quitting'?
Social media terms are always stupid and confusing.
The only time/place I've heard "quiet quitting" has been in articles/online. Never from a real person in real life. It's akin to them trying to make fetch happen.
The people who work for those who call just doing what you're paid for "quiet quitting" should show them what quiet quitting really is by going to lunch one day and never coming back.
The only time I refer to it in real life is when I go to the bathroom for an extended amount of time in the office AKA "quiet shitting" :P
Yep it has been presented as that by the media but real people talking about it usually mean just half-assing your job like you don't care about it.
"Not going above and beyond" has worked pretty well for me the majority of my career, I just get the job done well and try to remember to do most of what I'm supposed to.
prioritizing your mental health is a "phenomenon"
._.
Every definition feels gross to me, but I agree this article has a bad slant.
I mean, yeah. It's a term that was created to make people who aren't hard working slaves look bad.
