[quote=Anonymous][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]

True, the quitting part is what’s confusing people or causing a bifurcation.
It’s supposed to mean quit busting your balls for your job. 
Some camps think it means quit doing good work, on time, etc so you kind of quit your job until called out. Not true. And employers need to manage that if it is happening. If you aren’t clear about expectations you can’t go lay off or fire people out of the blue. Employment lawyers must love this new cliche, IF it starts causing wrongful terminations.

Huh? Every state but Montana is "at will", people can absolutely be let go "out of the blue" as long as they are not in a protected class.
