    If you buy a monitor from Amazon, do you expect that they will thrown in another one for free?

    What about if you hire a plumber to come fixe a leaky pipe, do you expect them to install a new set of water taps for free while they’re at it?

    Do you go to McDonalds and expect a posh table waiter, and a complimentary bottle of Beaujoulais wine along with lightly seasoned oregano and olive oil garlick bread, for the price of a Big Mac?

    So why expect that workers will do more work than what they are being paid for?!

    If it’s only a business relationship, as those very same managers treat it when it’s time for layoffs or when giving below inflation raises because the job market isn’t tight and they can easilly find replacements, then it’s only fair that workers too treaty it as only a business relationship and only provide the level of service they’re being paid for.

    If they want the haute cuisine Michellin Starred service they’re gonna have to pay more than McDonald prices.

    The whole calling it “quiet quiting” is just a reflection of the moneyed class wanting to, as the Brits would call it, eat the cake and still have it afterwards.
