Why does quiting need adjectives?

I mean no disrespect to anyone using all those terms, but you want to scare employers who are out to take advantage of you. . . Almost all of them. . . Quit cold, hard and unexpected, and unemotionally every time. Anything unprofessional out of them: Let's keep this professional it's just business. I just feel we use these sentimented terms to describe them we give them negotiating leverage against any employee in negotiations with them. Quiet quitting? I'm sorry but it's a term sentimented against emplyees. Rage apply. Again the same. They are meant to make the employee see insubordinate or irrational. Working to rule is not a strike action, or a negotiating leverage.

I received a sign on bonus, I received $13k out or the $20k I was supposed to receive. Now they expect me to pay $20k in 30 days.

My job has been absolutely miserable. No work-life balance, rarely any weekends free, 1 day off out of 7 or 8 days. I found a position with better hours, but now I have to pay back $20k that I can't afford. This is also not what my contract says. It says I would only need to repay what I received after taxes. I feel trapped. I can't leave now.

On pre-employment drug testing

Curious to know if there is a reason to be concerned about testing positive, particularly for marijuana if you’re a medicinal patient or in a state where it is fully legal. Does it matter if you’re remote or commute to a job that has zero tolerance?
