Primarily, that’s true. Clean fill is also usually free from any large rocks that would make shoveling difficult.

That’s fine if that’s how you like to work. All I’m saying is if an employee is silently quitting by doing the same work but shows less engagement/low morale, the solution isn’t for the manager isn’t to shrug their shoulders because you can’t fire them. That implies the manager’s goal is to terminate due to low performance, which is really shitty leadership.

Isn’t this work reform? Why would you not expect more from the people you work for?
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
I said this in another thread, but I’m not criticizing quite quitting. I’m criticizing the managers’ response to it. If your employees are meeting expectations but unhappy, you should try to improve their work life, not shrug your shoulders because you don’t have a reason to fire them.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t matter. Performance is measured independently of morale and engagement. If you meet expectations, but you’re unhappy at work, a decent leader will ask why and try to make your work life better. A good leader will care enough about you to hear out personal life issues too.

Well that’s completely fucked. I don’t work for free.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
I’m on your side, but you keep missing the point. If you’re in charge of people that need to do a job, and while they are getting the work done, they seem miserable, wouldn’t you give enough fucks to find out why? Standing there and saying, “well I can’t fire them because they’re doing the work” is the real problem. Not the definition of engagement.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
Engagement and morale are independent of performance. A good leader will know their employees well enough to be able to ask what’s going on. Sometimes it’s a personal issue that’s on their mind. Other times it’s dissatisfaction with the work environment or company as a whole. It’s your job as a manager to address work-related concerns, and if you’re a good manager, you’d address them simply because you care about the employee.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
That’s fine. I’m just saying the managers in that meme are the problem, not the employees.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
More like inexperienced middle-management. Discussing the team member’s reasons for disengagement could lead to a solution for them, or even multiple team members. Saying “I have nothing to complain about” proves ineffective leadership looking for cause to terminate.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
Quiet quitting is the practice of meeting minimum expectations with low moral or engagement. Underperforming could lead to termination for not meeting minimum expectations.

Why do you think the static grey map is in the background? The entire point of the tool is to overlay one nation upon one of the nations on the static map for accurate size comparison.
- Comment on Woaaaaa 2 weeks ago:
The comparison that was in dispute was the size of Antarctica vs the size of the US. I was clarifying how to use the tool. You’re still using it wrong. lol
- Comment on Woaaaaa 2 weeks ago:
Valid point. It’s a shame humanity won’t be around to confirm. lol
- Comment on Woaaaaa 2 weeks ago:
That would be closer to 300M years, assuming it can continue to move at the rate of 1 CM/year, straight through Africa. Antarctica is ~4,500 KM across. The leading coast is only 1,287 KM from the South Pole, leaving 3,213 KM of land needed to migrate from the Pacific side. That would take 321,300,000 years.
- Comment on Woaaaaa 2 weeks ago:
To move a continent north of the equator at the rate of 1 CM per year? You might need a bigger napkin.
Antarctica’s leading coast is 10,000 KM from the equator. Assuming it’s able to continue through Southern Africa at the same rate, it would take 100 billion years to have a northern coast.
- Comment on Woaaaaa 2 weeks ago:
It’s almost twice the height in that picture. It’s also larger in square miles.
The total area of the U.S. and its territories is over 3.8 million square miles.
Antarctica’s area of 5.4 million square miles makes it 1.5x the size of the US.

That’s the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station.
- Comment on Woaaaaa 2 weeks ago:
Are you referring to the magnetic pole switch? That happens every 200-1M years, according to patterns on the seafloor. It’s been estimated that the last reversal was 780,000 years ago, so it actually could be any day now.
With that being said, I doubt that humanity will agree to turn all maps 180° to correspond.

It’s also the only continent without a southern coast.
