The hard workers are the ones who make it possible for the DEI people to have jobs and not cause the company go belly up. “We work hard so you don’t have to “.

Once employers decided employees were simply a cost they could manipulate without commitment nor care, they laid the groundwork for “quiet quitting.”

Seen many upon many people stop right in the middle of something, because it was officially break time. Instead of finishing up, then take break in 5-10 minutes, for the same amount of time. That’s what I’m talking about.
I don’t mind break at all and have taken advantage of it’s benefits quite often.

Per FBN in D.C. only 6% of government workers show up at the office that’s overhead need to get rid of them.

Every new democrat president hires mass amount of useless workers to make it look like he doing something good for labor stats.

I could outwork most around me. DID Accounting. Could do more volume & with better accuracy than others.

Became self-employed in 1980.

HIRED NO OTHERS.

OWN ALL MY REAL ESTATE & VEHICLES. Still can outwork today’s snowflakes.

As for a ‘good reference forward”:

MOST states will not allow a prior employer to badmouth you-—BUT—The prospective NEW employer can ask one direct question that solves all the questions:

“IS THIS PERSON ELIGIBLE FOR REHIRE?”

IF answer is NO-—you have all the info you need.

it appears to be a method of indirect communication

Kind of like lacking the courage to ask for a raise or a way of expressing anger passively to a superior. Astute pickup, Lee.

The government wants to downplay just how much work is done by consultants and contractors. Forcing a return to the office would expose that.

The Quiet Quitters (QQ) should all become entrepreneurs for businesses that provide goods and services where people can leave reviews on Google about them.

“I went to QQ diner with my family for breakfast and we arrived 5 minutes before opening time at 9am. The toddlers patiently waited 30 minutes foe the place to open because the QQ decided to come in late. Instead of taking our order the first hour they just had a smoke break. I mentioned I was getting hungry and so were the children about an hour into their smoke break at 10:25 and they told me it was not their problem. The electric company rep showed up and told the manager the power was going off because the bill hadn’t been paid. The QQ told them to ask me for money since they didn’t feel lkke paying. I explained that we were just customers & the rep shrugged their shoulders and left. At 10:45 the power went off. At 10:55 the QQ got off their smoke break and mumbled about the power being off. I asked them if we could get our order taken. The QQ said I triggered them and they needed to take the day off. We left. The kids complained that they were still hungry. We tries to find another place to eat but they all had QQ owners & were closed. We decided to have a special fast that day for our family. We found some processed food snacks at home and ate those instead.”

Yes but the main issue is the over hiring is for a matter of looking like they did something for the people aka smoke scree.

They have so many redundant departments half of the could be eliminated and nobody would notice any change.

“in a small company every employee has to do their job or eventually the business will go under”

The definition of “quite quitting” is: doing your job, but not more than your job.
