I was watching a video on quiet quitting and sent it to a few of my friends (both me and them are gen z) and also my father (gen x). My friends’ reaction was as expected, they agreed, but my father went on a rant about how this generation is doomed because we don’t respect our employers and we don’t want to put in the extra work etc.
My father is currently unemployed and haven’t had a stable job in at least 15 years because when a company is downsizing he is the first one to get fired (even tho he says he put in a lots of work). I’m just flabbergasted because even tho he got fired from each company just within one year, was working unpaid for months and now is unemployed, he still thinks that companys actually care about him and his hard work.
