[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the dumbest term ever because it has multiple meanings

Some people think it means setting boundaries - the name doesn't make sense. Gen Z are idiots.

Other people think it means just doing the bare minimum until you get fired. In that sense, the name makes sense.[/quote]

I don't think you understand who's using the term. It's a term ONLY used by those with the old mindset of "do what you're supposed to plus more." When employees push back and do only what they are paid to do - declining to donate their free labor to a company that doesn't give a crap about them - they think of it as simply enforcing boundaries, doing their job as agreed, etc. They don't use the phrase "quiet quitting", although they are accused of doing exactly that.

The problem is that quiet quitting is a phrase in the culture now, so people like you assume it's being used by everyone. It's not. Just the old fogeys who are now upset that they can't get their employees to work overtime for free.[/quote]
