Yesterday I was at a resilience training that my work offered. We have a couple of optional trainings per year that we can partake in, so that's great. The training was interesting, learned some stuff, but the trainer lost all my attention in the afternoon.
Don't know how we landed on the subject of “quiet quitting” in this training, but the trainer ranted about how this generation came up with quiet quitting and that she does not stand behind this movement. She ranted that we should not follow this 'quiet quitting' trend. What baffled me is that the whole room agreed and scoffed at the concept (younger folks as well).
I don't get it. Most of these people attended the training because their work was stressing them out, yet they scoff at the idea of quiet quitting. It's honestly fucking cringe at this point.
Why do people continue to keep up the act to go above and beyond when our work is literally mentally torturing us??
