The quote: “Quiet quitters are hard to handle because they continue to complete their assigned workload to the same (often high) standard, giving their managers an uneasy feeling but nothing specific to complain about.”
“Quiet quitting? Oh, do you mean acting my wage?”
exactly. because it’s a proven fact, actually, that working harder DOES NOT EVER result in higher compensation.
the results are in. it’s a closed issue. the managerial class has fucked the workers long enough.
if they want more than minimum, they need to pay more than minimum.
we’re done working more than minimum uncompensated.
FUCK 'EM.
I had this conversation with one boss once.
“You don’t seem deeply committed to this place.”
“Yeah. No shit. You might have noticed that you have to pay me to even show up.”
That put an end to that line of inquiry.
Haha I like that line. Like, it’s obvious, but I’ve never seen it phrased like that.
Every boss wants every employee to care about the bottom line.
Then make it an employee owned company. Oh, you don’t want to do that because you have to share the profits? Then deal with no one caring.
You spelled paycheck wrong
I definitely make spelling errors sometimes, but that’s a common spelling in Canada where I’m from.
An elegant spelling for a more civilized age.
It’s the British/Canadian spelling
NZ, Australia as well. Basically everywhere except the US.
On the internet, any time you’re about to call someone out for saying/doing something wrong, I suggest first checking that it isn’t just a cultural thing. Those undersea cables stretch pretty far.
That wouldn’t be very American.
I’ve seen it spelled this way in other places before. I’m not sure if it’s wrong so much as an archaic or regional spelling.
Everywhere that speaks English, except the US spells it this way, afaik. NZ, Aus, Can, UK, South Africa, India…. The US way is the regional variance.
Heh. Most English-speaking countries spell cheque this way.
