    I leave on time, how is that an insult? I’d be much more insulted if someone asked me to work for them for free. That’s what unpaid overtime is.

      It’s a compliment. You’re skilled and valuable enough that the company won’t dare to give you any bullshit for leaving on time.

        I think “quiet quitting” is just the white collar equivalent to the more blue collar “nobody wants to work anymore!”

        Today I sat down at the computer around 8:30, had lunch around 10:55 - 12:00, then at 13:00 - 14:30 I went for a walk with my wife and 6 month old son to feed ducks which he absolutely loved, and I stopped working at 16:10. Adding all that together should equal to… I don’t care. The company who bought us and ruined everything had a 1.5 hrs townhall yesterday with 880 attendees, equating to some €30k lost in man power.

      I think they meant the “finance guy” insulted the whole “race” of “developers”, but otherwise they agree.
