I am aware of software program, where it clicks your mouse randomly like a real person would.
This shouldn’t be too hard. Employers should measure outcomes and leave the employees figure out how to ensure acceptable outcomes on their own time. If I am prepared to work once a week for 36 hours straight, that’s how I choose to organize my time.
The current Federal Government has these “workers” in spades- and they are needing to be ordered back into an office where they can be physically seen to be working— not artificially intelligence confirmed but ACTUAL intelligence confirmed.
Under the coming house cleaning- they will be removed on the basis of this “fake work”.... to our ever thankful populace paying billions for compu-crapola as policy. Devoid of humanity and reason.
What the heck is "quiet cutting"?? Is that like sneaking out a silent fart in your workspace?
I am very thankful that I started working for myself at 26 and never looked back. My wife had some decent bosses and some bad ones. I let her retire at 53, she had put up with enough.
Lives of quiet desperation, then retirement, a secure, safe retirement of people who lived safe, secure lives, they serve an important part of life and of a people’s survival but it doesn’t suit us all.
Ninety percent of those slackers are democrats (especially if they are government employees). They are the worst of the worst.
Change to “piece work” style payments.
I have made a business off lazy employees. What it shows is that 75% or more employees are liabilities and completely useless to companies.
Has anyone ever tried Quiet Quitting on a production line?
I believe industrial management calls that Immediate Termination.
How can anyone Quiet Quit unless their job has no quantifiable production goals?
My own sense of integrity kept me from doing any of that stuff (I was a Marine, recently returned from Vietnam) and I was grateful for my $17/hour job, but it went on and on around me. Needless to say, we were all union members (closed shop) but the management never caught on and the union didn't care a whit. Our L-1011 airliners were more expensive than the DC-10.
Now Lockheed-Martin doesn't make airliners anymore. No suprises.
I only know one way to work. I rock out non-stop, maximum effort.
Building to building, office to office, meeting room to lab, lab to lab, shop to shop, pick up a wrench, test tube, cable motor controller, PLC, machine tools, bag of blood, centrifuge it, sample it, fix a machine, develop a new one.
End of the day, I cannot remember what I did. I could only do that effectively for about 6 hours per day. Plus an hour+ of commuting.
Mid 50’s I am out..
From the very first line of the article: Since the pandemic...
Just no. This has been around for decades and has nothing to do with the Scamdemic.
You think people whine now just wait until business collapses and there are no jobs, money. Food.
work from home is fine...if you can get your 8 hrs done in 4 and not have to spend the rest of the day commuting and sniping around the water cooler and break room ...its a great deal!!
Lots of people have two work from home jobs at the same time and they get paid a 40 hour salary for both.
When I worked as first-line supervisor at a nuke power plant, there was the term LARA ie as ‘Little As Reasonably Acceptable’ regarding work in a radiation area. IOW you wanted your employees to get as little rad as was reasonably acceptable.
When I moved to another industry, I coined some employees as LARAs bec they accomplished as Little As Reasonably Acceptable. Gave one a 0.5% raise when bogey was 3.5%. Others I was able to demote and other LARAs were put into unconformable positions w limited ability to exercise any choice to accomplish their job.
Yep.
