The concept of “Quiet Quitting” is ridiculous. We all know this. To state it here though- “quiet quitting” is a new term circling around that purports that employees that do what is asked of them and nothing more are in effect quitting.
Employees performing and completing tasks at market rate isn’t quitting, it’s doing the job. The idea that in order to have job security a person must go above and beyond, as a minimum, is nonsense.
What is real? The “Slow Let Go”—companies that refuse to pay market rates, refuse to invest in their employees, refuse to show a path to upward mobility, refuse to pay a living wage, refuse to offer reasonable hours, and refuse to provide any job security but stop short of firing someone.
How can we talk about the real problem and stop this “quiet quitting” narrative?
