How many of these "quitting" types are these people going to come up with? In the end people are quitting because jobs don't paid enough for the amount of shit that gets thrown on their plates. Doesn't matter how it happens. The root cause is all the same.
"Workers have begun 'Gunpla Quitting' where they shirk their duties and instead build Gundam models on the clock, even as they return to the office"
Honestly more stressful than actual work. My 40k pile of shame does need reducing though...
Cold-quitting: you stop responding to work emails
Hot-quitting: you spam your boss' email with porn links
Top-quitting: you start acting like you're the boss
Bottom-quitting: you don't do any work because you need to ask for help but you're shy 🥺👉👈
Clown-quitting: you and 11 coworkers steal the company car
Joker-quitting:
helicopter quitting
where you quit by pulling down your pants and making that weiner do the helicopter
its quitting but just for the fellas
This ain't your GRANDPA's style of QUITTING guitar-riff
Back in my PAPPY’S DAY the youths got themselves KILLED in IMPERIALIST WARS OF AGGRESSION instead of SITTING AROUND ALIVE like PUSSIES like the STUPID CHILDREN of TODAY
"Ow! Help! My employees are knife-quitting! This is a worrying trend!"
: "Look at this stupid millennial modest-volume quitting. Whatever happened to COMPANY LOYALTY!"
: "But this is a summer position and my dad's friend's ice cream shop. And I'm gen alpha.": "COMPANY LOYALTY.....DEAD!"We live in the funniest timeline
I cant believe this is 11 year old content it seems like something made like two years ago at most.
“Poor management leads to lost customers and lost profits, but it also leads to miserable lives,” Gallup explained while adding that “having a job you hate is worse than being unemployed”.
They're saying the quiet part loudly
“having a job you hate is worse than being unemployed”
"We need to make being unemployed worse then."Can't wait until not having a job when you're 14 and older becomes illegal, and then some kid gets arrested because all the McDonalds near him told him "no" for the cashier position because he doesn't have a PhD in electrical engineering, something that would be very unbecoming of a prestigious institution like the McDonald's franchise
owns.if you add that the penalty in prison is having your labor leased out to those same McDonalds this is pretty much what happened to African Americans with convict leasing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
That's the problem is there's anger at employers but no organization. People are quitting instead of unionizing because they still think in terms of "rugged individualism" and "job market." They think if they go to the "job market" and find a "better job" they won't be exploited. But they'll always be exploited because that's the mode of production. The mode of production is that the boss has to pay you less than your work is worth so they can profit, reinvest that profit in growth, giving shareholders dividends, and absorbing/destroying competitors. If they don't do that, they get absorbed/destroyed by someone who will. So there's no fair workplace. And if there is, then it's not profitable and will be destroyed soon. People should be unionizing not quitting. And not just unionizing their lone isolated workplace, but unionizing across the whole industry, across multiple industries, across national borders. But that takes a lot of work and people are isolated, alienated, deprived of class consciousness and education. They're radicalized but they don't know where to put their energy. So they quit hoping to find a mythical job that doesn't exploit them.

Also because unionizing takes years and no one wants to be stuck in a shitty job for years.
right, but still, most jobs are going to be shitty, so just throwing yourself back out there on the "job market" (a euphemism for putting your labor power up on the auction block) is a huge risk because your bills are gonna rack up, your savings are gonna run out, your unemployment will run out assuming you can even get it, and then you're stuck right back at square zero looking for someone who will buy your labor power for less than it is worth. Me personally, I'd rather stick with a shitty job until I find another slightly less then shitty job than quit, because if I quit too early my situation is gonna deteriorate and the likelihood of me getting lucky enough to find something better is low.
Definitely. From experience though, there's two types of jobs that organize:
--Jobs with high concentrations of socialists like social work, non-profit, politics
And
--unspeakably terrible jobs, like, abusive bosses, random insufficient hours, that kind of thing.
The first type of job is rare, and the second kind makes people quit. If everyone organized, everyone would win, but the reality is that the kind of conditions that make people organize also make people quit.
conditions that make people organize also make people quit
there we go. that really sums it up
I told every single person who would listen to me, in every department, my exact reasons for quitting the month I was getting ready to give my 2 weeks, after working as an aide 4.5 years for the position I was fully licensed for. They paid for out-of-state per-diem techs for over a year. One was a self-hating Indian Trump fanatic from Charlottesville (literally) who got fired for hitting on patients and napping mid-shift, and then they hired a girl who was 3 years younger than me (who took off mid-shift to get shit-faced, and I had to cover an emergency case while I waited for her drunk ass to drive the hour back), all instead of giving me the time of day, once.
It was convenient for the hospital to have an overqualified and underpaid person, I realized. And I told that to every single person as I left. I went with my middle finger raised high.
I'm not in the med field whatsoever anymore. Didn't even renew my damn licenses I worked my ass off, years to get. Just had such a chip on my shoulder, I don't think I could ever work for something as evil as the US medical system.
I did MRIs. If you want to know about elderly patient torture for the sake of exam completion, all you need to do is get a mic in those rooms. Meanest people I've ever met.
Not that you need anyone else's approval, but I'm proud of you for quitting that job!
The techs, obviously. They would ridicule patients for being claustrophobic or large on the regular.
How much longer until quitting your job becomes a crime and they start posting armed security guards at the exits? I feel like it would go there before they let us have any rights on the clock.
They'll make breathing illegal so they can invoke the "except as punishment for a crime" clause of the 13th Amendment on anyone.
That's not quitting! These are the dumbest fucking terms!!!! What do they call actual quitting now?
Didn't stay 3 hours late, unpaid? How about you stop LOUD QUITTING
Starting to think not paying enough and treating people like shit isn't a good employee retention strategy
I think most of history can be summed up with that last line "it sucks that we needed people to dine for that to happen tho"
Coworker landed a job for an extra $30k at a location 5 minutes from his house that guaranteed him carte blanche over the project he was joining. The demand for talent is so fucking high right now.
Houston is always hiring. I find the 5 minutes from his house a bit sus though. And the his house part.
The good money in Houston is because you have to live in Houston.

He's up in Spring and feels like he basically won the lottery. The new firm has a branch office up there.

Its not even "good money". I could make significantly more out on the coasts. Cost of living in Houston is just way lower than California or New York or Chicago.
Also, all my family and friends live here.
My brother, we are a car city and we have sprawled. This land is cursed with the highway.
quiet quitting is when you whisper "i quit" into your boss's ear, loud quitting is when you scream it.
you're playing drakkar noir and farting; i'm playing bourgeois and locking myself in the third-floor bathroom & making them call security on me
