Healthcare professions, a genuine question

I keep seeing posts about quiet quitting and/or lowering the quality of your work to match the pay you are receiving and I love it.

I don't feel it is fair to lower the quality of my work for the patients that have done no wrong and are likely exploited as well – especially in PT we see so many work comp injuries(also auto injuries – fuckcars). On top of that, because of my intent to apply to PT school I feel like I am pressured even more to work hard and make a good impression for a letter of recommendation.

I keep seeing posts about quiet quitting and/or lowering the quality of your work to match the pay you are receiving and I love it.

But how can I, a PT tech, or any healthcare worker, feasibly do the same?

I don't feel it is fair to lower the quality of my work for the patients that have done no wrong and are likely exploited as well – especially in PT we see so many work comp injuries(also auto injuries – fuckcars).

On top of that, because of my intent to apply to PT school I feel like I am pressured even more to work hard and make a good impression for a letter of recommendation.
Instead of pay, I get a chance for a marginally better life and my coworkers don't even get that benefit.

In short, it's not fair to the patients nor is it fair to my coworkers when we are already understaffed. So how can I help with the movement or make an impact in my own community/job? Any advice or recommendations?
