this country doesn’t even produce the wealth to do so.
there will be families living from 25k year, while one single man will make 120k year, and thats life.
making news and studies about won’t make anyone get a higher pay
People are mad cause it is true
I believe a more appropriate phrase is ” act your wage”
I had a manager before basically try and delegate supervising another (nightmare) colleague. Pure bullshit, and I told her that to her face. I am not paid to supervise anyone. If he doesn’t get his work done, that’s on you, the manager.
Please stop with this quiet quitting bullshit.
Because apparently working your contracted hours and duties and not doing extra for free is an act comparible to resignation that deserves a special term.
>The survey, carried out by recruiter Robert Walters, found that the leading reason for 40pc of workers choosing to ‘quit quietly’ is pay.
I think an equally likely cause is that a lot of people have either forgotten or been lucky enough not to experience a time where getting and keeping a job was tough.
If you only want a job and not a career? Fine. If you want a rewarding career? (and the financial stability that comes with that) You have to go above and beyond sometimes.
Also know as work for rule and has been around forever
Not just the young, when I started working at 16 I worked hard, did all the overtime, did all the extra hours, never got me a promotion or anything, I sat there and watched managers friends or the bosses family get the bonuses and promotions. I realised that I got the same if I worked hard or just did enough to get by… why work hard when you get no benefit from it.
The whole concept is just another assumption that the entire Anglosphere shares the same attitude as the US.
Suggest to the average worker in Ireland/Britain/Aus/NZ that they should bust their balls, go above and beyond working more hours and taking on more responsibilities for no extra pay, and they’d look at you as if you were cracked.
We’ve been long disabused of the idea that hard work guarantees generous rewards, and actually no, you can’t just work your way out of poverty etc.
If someone is in a low paid salary job like in catering, cleaning or maintenance etc where opportunities for advancement are limited, working to rule makes sense. Employers tend to give as much as a person will take and in many cases be remarkably stingy.
However, say if someone was in the early stages of working in a highly competitive field with advancement possibilities, then working to rule would be career suicide or at the very least, reduce their chances of getting promoted. There are no shortage of other candidates that will work hard.
I am not saying its right but that is the way the world is.
By the way, who ever come up with that term “quiet quitting” is an imbecile.
If someone’s shift ends at 5 for example, and they leave despite there being a queue of people or a job that’s not entirely finished because they were not given adequate time. It’s quite a loud statement, is the opposite of quiet.
Also, they are not quitting. They are working to rule, doing the bare minimum that they are required to to fulfil their contractual obligations and not a bit more.
The term “quiet quitting” is propaganda. It started in the US and is leaking here now.
No one wants to work, or at least most of don’t anyways. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to put in the effort.
Everyone thinks they’re underpaid and overworked. Now imagine how you’d feel if the teachers teaching your kids took this “quiet quitting” attitude. Imagine if the local mechanic took this approach. Imagine if the bus driver took this approach. You think a bus driver gets paid extra when they get out and help you load your luggage?
The phrase “everyone’s a genius in a bull market” which is about investing, reminds me of now. Every worker is cocky in an economy with loads of jobs.
How many people were quiet quitting in 2008? How many people quiet quit when they can’t pay their rent or their fuel bills?
You won’t make me feel like a lickarse just because I have pride in the job I do and put the effort in.
Doing the bare minimum is a pathetic attitude and shouldn’t be encouraged. If you’re not going to do a job well, don’t do it at all. The same people promoting quiet quitting will be the same clowns complaining about poor service or quality.
Ah, American news from last month finally makes it across the pond. Which lazy journalists is keeping this horseshit flowing? Quitting it quitting. How utterly stupid.
Ah , the weekly attack article on why we need to stop allowing people to work from home. Looking forward to seeing what bullshit reasons they come up with next week.
I did this for my last job, I asked for a massive pay raise which was denied, I decided to stay a few extra months,
All my projects were cancled and there were days where I just didn’t do anything expect attend a meeting and send a few emails.

“quiet quitting” is such a bullshit phrase. Pay people their worth if you expect 100% effort from them.
The phrase “quiet quitting” is such a load of shite and pushes the blame onto the employee.
If you’re only planning to pay your employees the bare minimum, then you shouldn’t be surprised if they do the bare minimum.

working to rule or contract
It is impossible to everyone to get a good wage.
this country doesn’t even produce the wealth to do so.
there will be families living from 25k year, while one single man will make 120k year, and thats life.
