    You aren’t quiet quitting… That’s a bullshit term the business consultants came up with to shift the blame back to the employees again. You’re doing the quality of work you’re paid for. The company doesn’t care about you, and they aren’t going to pay you more for more effort.

    If they want better quality work, businesses need to pay for it.

      Yea … this! It’s a general pattern to keep a look out for across the board. How many things are being “put onto the employee” through culture, language and established practices.

      You may find a bunch of things both specifically in your workplace and your culture generally.

      Things like performance reviews, how promotion cycles are managed, what kinds if incompetence are tolerated and what kinds aren’t, how consistently “accountability” is used, what feedback channels exist and don’t exist, what groups of people are enabled to form entities and which aren’t … etc etc. You’ll find it’s everywhere and many aren’t even capable of seeing it.

        Don’t forget when someone is fired or quite and they spread their workload to the rest of the team, and never hire a replacement. That’s a classic as well.

          We should write a bunch of articles about “quiet downsizing”

      I don’t feel guilty at all so I guess shifting blame didn’t work on me. It’s all a big game to keep people busy doing pointless things as the people who own everything gets richer. So why feel guilty for seeing that and adapting to it. :)

      Paying me more won’t make me work harder, because I just don’t care about the company and that won’t change. If it was my company I would care I guess.
