I’m in my late 40’s in a new director position I accepted three months ago and I have to say your generations inspires me when it comes to your work ethic. Y’all seem to understand the concept that it is only a job. It’s not your life. Rather than letting a career define who you all are, your generations are actively canceling the idea of a career and embracing what is most important in life: your health, your loved ones, and most of all: I am so happy to see more of y’all putting yourselves first. It’s awesome. So if you choose to work a job, just do what is required of you, clock out and go live. Covid, Trump, the 2008 Recession, and the Towers falling were enough to make us all realize the American Dream is and will always be a Farce.
Edit:
Please forgive my terminology use of ‘quiet quitting’. I’m old and was not aware the correct or better words to define this concept is ‘acting you wage’. Thank you for informing me of this.
