Thanks for explaining it! That’s it, right? I was wondering what tf it was trying to allude to as “quiet quitting”. This isn’t satire, then?
Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?

If your business model depends on me doing extra work for free, then you aren’t a great business person

There’s always been a push towards seeing working as a value in itself, but it was easier to trick people into working around the clock when wages allowed to reach one’s goals (a house, financial stability, sending your kids to college). It’s more difficult when workers live paycheck to paycheck and know that they won’t be economically able to retire.

That’s the whole deal of maximizing profit. If you can get your employees to work extra for free, you have a very successful business model.

Yes, but you need to throw in some consideration for your employees, either material or symbolic.

That would be the nice and fair thing to do… However people are often happy with just a pat in the back so that’s what they get.
