A most-unlettered take on “Quiet Quitting”?

I'm reading this and thinking “…this guy doesn't fucking get it.” https://financialpost-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/financialpost.com/fp-work/howard-levitt-quiet-quitters-fail-layoffs/wcm/53ae8f72-9f50-4f02-8bbc-6de5d218bcec/amp/ Am I wrong?

The real reason they want you back at work probably boils down to 1 specific book written in 2007…

There's a book, chances are you haven't heard of it, titled “The 4 Hour Work Week.” To be clear, I'm not recommending reading it (no need, really. It was prescient at the time but dated now). The description and title tells you everything you need to know: The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9–5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich is a self-help book by Timothy Ferriss In other words, basically, work remote, don't do an extra 50% for a 3% raise, maximize your own time. I'm betting that most people in the business world (especially middle managers) have either heard of the book and what it says, or read it.

Got ghosted for an interview. 6 days later they ask me to reschedule. What do I say?

Basically title. I had an interview for Sea World. I am extremely qualified for the job and was confident I would be offered the position. The interview was scheduled for last week and was over Zoom. I log on at the scheduled time and….. nothing. No one joins. After 5 minutes I double check that I have the right date and time. I do. I wait until the end of our scheduled interview time. He never showed up. Meanwhile I continued refreshing my email and had my phone next to me. No word from them. I called and left a voicemail confirming what our scheduled interview time was and that I was still interested in the position. I also sent an email saying I tried to contact them via phone but was unsuccessful and reiterated my message. I had no response for SIX DAYS. I had moved on from the…

maybe off topic but where can I cash out on white privilege?

I am really fed up with slaving for my bosses and my rent is due so I could really use some of that white privilege money but didn't get the memo where I am supposed to cash out on that?
