Im one of two young people in my workplace of about 50 and no less than once a week one of the older workers (late genx and above) will ask me if i've quiet quit yet or some comment along those lines. they mean it as a joke just because im young but it depresses me to see how gullible they are to the barrage of media railing against quiet quitting. Its sad that it has so effectively been associated with laziness so that the ruling class can further divide the working class and pit us against one another. The irony in my workplace is that most of the lifers here who certainly deserve a break from the mind numbing work as they near retirement, should embrace quiet quitting themselves. ive seen many of them take naps in the afternoon. some of the actual lazy ones who cant be bothered to learn something new have no problem pawning off work on me and my other young coworker. they do this all while realizing they arent benefiting themselves from quiet quitting actions.
