LOL. I just got back last week from a 3 week 'quiet vacation' in Japan. It was the most productive 3 weeks I've ever had at this company so when I got caught, I didn't even have to ask for forgiveness. I told my manager I'm "going back tomorrow" (jokingly) and she said, "Whatever you want to do!" Just do your work and don't fk around on your 'quiet vacation' and you'll be fine.

Let's be honest. Corporations want slaves not employees. They think if you're not working at 100% effort 100% of the time then they're not getting their money's worth. All this technology was supposed to make our lives easier but here we are expected to work even harder and for longer hours now. Our wealthy masters have convinced us that we should work harder, work longer so they don't have to work at all. I've always worked by arse off while on the job but all my career I watched slackers get promoted because they had the skill of arse kissing while everyone else was busting arse. The whole system based on the lust and greed for more and more profits must change if anything is ever going to get better for the working class. But that won't happen if the working class continues to defend the very system that is oppressing them.

What I learned after more than 25 years in the workforce is. Good, productive employees still lose their jobs. Cutbacks, company closing / bankruptcy, etc. I was with a corporation for 12 years until the corporation went bankrupt. I landed on my feet. Ended up in a better spot now than then. But not everyone did and these were good salt of the Earth people. And the executives in the corporation, you should have seen the bonuses they awarded themselves moments before declaring bankruptcy while the rank and file suffered job loss and unemployment compensation which is a pittance!! Employers ARE NOT loyal to you, do not be loyal to them. Look out for yourself!

[@melissacarrillo3850]

Sad, but so true. Companies will always look out for themselves, their bottom line. Loyalty worked back in the days… but those days are long gone. I’m a GenXer that’s learned the hard way .. don’t give away your heart and soul to companies that are not your own. Blessings to all reading this 💜

mostly the boomers and gen x that feels this way.. if it was up to them, they would still prefer to use fax machines and print everything out lol

[@SingularitySenses]

We don't care what our companies think. Time is short. Anyone who is aware of what's going on understands how meaningless these silly jobs are.

[@globalfamily8172]

And for those of us who did our time? Our time shorter. We need you to continue working.

My company does data analytics, they count how many key strokes per hour. Can you say micro managing. They have fired people for coffee cupping.

Wow... is the juice worth the squeeze. $$$. That's hyper manic management

[@francestaylor9156]

Well no high valued person would ever work in that kind of bullshit so they’ve literally incentivized keeping ppl around that look busy. That’s beyond dumb.

[@p.f.h.2146]

​​@@FarishKashefinejad Yes, but companies are catching on to those devices. I know people who were fired for using them.

Yep, in my experience, between toxic bosses, toxic employees, office politics, "my way or the highway" mentality, I got burned out. Thank you again for the updates.

Millennial here and if I don’t recognize you or you are not police or firefighter I’m not answering the door.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Im Miss Havisham, living on the corner in old house, old neighborhood. Im gen x , been widow over decade, at age 45. I don’t go to my door for ANY reason, unless it’s a policeman, firefighter. My neighbors all know it. NOBODY comes to my house and even tries to knock.

[@mikael557]

You definitely don't have to answer the door for police either.

Shouldn't be answering the door for police or fire either

I disagree with you Brian, get your self dressed an to the job like the others have too. Not fair to the workers who can’t work from home. Taking care of your house,family etc. should be done on your time.

I am Dad raising a 7 year old girl. I put about 90hrs a week of work weekends off. My boss gives me the hardest time anytime I have to do something for my daughter. Normal dentist and doctor visits. My daughter is fine. But when a co worker gets her dog sick. She gets all the time off and even paid tike off. My boss she is of 55plus age she's never had kids. I am planning to quit properly but other than this I can't complain about my life. I am Blessed for my problems

[@rustybumperclassics6342]

My current employer allows us to work from, say, the beach as long as we stay in the state that we work in. They actually encourage it. There is very few jobs that are doing something as important as saving lives. They usually just involve making money or helping to generate revenue for stock holders. Only took me 15 years to find this job. 😊

If I’m working remote, I’m remote. I would never wanna work for someone that tracks my movements more than my productivity.

[@TeksonikAudio]

Here's a new way of looking at things....Someone asked a boss "what do you pay that person to make 100 widgets a day?" "I give them $100 a day". And how much profit do you make from each widget? "$100 profit each after all expenses". So you're not giving him $100 a day he's giving you $9,900 a day in profits. Who is benefiting the most? In the U.S. we are conditioned to believe that we owe our boss when it is in fact business that owes all its success to labor.

[@nafisahwright1440]

So glad to see people waking up to this truth

[@silverwolf6866]

That's not how the real world works. You need to ask how much your boss is paying to market those widgets? Those widgets are worth ZERO unless someone pays for them. How much is he paying for the tools and IT infrastructure that is needed to build those widgets. the list goes on. It is clear you have little to no experience with business in general.

[@ralphnunn3]

Hats off to Gen Z work force. I can't agree more that they are definitely on the vocal side. Been an aircraft technician for 20+ years. Airlines are mass hiring now due to boomer generation retiring so we have a lot of new cats in the work force now. Major airline i work for hired over 4000 people this past 2 years. Still going. I applaud their mentality at times. People my age will say they complain too much. Well complaining is good to certain extent. It makes you realize what you've been doing for years was actually pretty fucking dangerous and needed to be changed. Yeah 1/2 the time its just people complaining about nothing. But when you actually listen to some of the stuff they say and think about it. They bring up a lot of good points that us old heads kind of gotten brain washed into thinking wasn't a bad thing. When i first joined it felt like it was military all over again. Old heads yell at you and you do their way or its the highway. For some reason they made you think bringing up being hurt was you being soft. Or wearing proper PPE was "gay". Newer generation are not afraid of quitting either. Which scares the shit out of companies. They know the market is flooded with jobs right now so they'll switch in a heart beat if they think other airlines are better. Hence our pay been going up a lot recently. Hovering around $63hr now. Going up again very soon with new contract. Thats a lot imo for a blue collar job. We get great benefits as well. (7 weeks vacation/year. top out, 12 sick days/year which accrues if you dont use or you can get paid out , 5 holidays/year,) and best part is if there's an open slot in the computer for scheduling you put it in and get auto approved. You dont have to ask mgmt anything.

[@FaintAura]

Employees wouldn't feel the need to do this to protect their mental health if employers weren't stressing them tf out all the time.

[@silverwolf6866]

aww poor mental health...cry more

[@anonimity1174]

In my opinion, this will gonna keep going up due to inflation and everything is now unaffordable. Quiet quitting and quiet vacationing create time opportunities for the employee and create their own side business to supplement their income. If the US government can not pay its debt the taxpayers will continue to suffer. Now millennials/Genz will leave the US while building business in other countries and while employed in the US remotely. Now the only solution is to allow more immigrants in the USA like Canada/Australia did to contribute to the economic recovery. This may result in one of you disagreeing, BUT more skilled legal immigrants can be taxpayers to help the US pay its $35t debt and create a healthier economy.

[@Adriatic]

As long as you get the work done and that amount of work is reasonable.... PERIOD

[@Hot_Stank653]

Isn’t quiet vacationing what the FED does when it looks for inflation?!?!?😢😢😢

2 people got caught and fired at my job for taking the laptop out of the country. They were tracked via the VPN.

[@rarejourneys]

Same, I know one person it happened to.

[@Ryanrobi]

Oh I did this before when I worked for a tech company a few times They figured it out both times but no one cared because I still got my work done. I once drove from Massachusetts to Oregon and back while I was working remote when I needed to get on the video call I just pull over and find a park get out my fold-out chair and laptop and of course he always have the same background and keep yourself muted 😂 But honestly that job most weeks I only had to work about 15 hours a week so there's no reason why I needed to be at home all the time. I actually worked another full time seasonal job for 4 months a year but they knew that going in.

[@ostinvt]

how about the lack of Paid time off? how's 12 days paid time off enough when you have children and summer vacation.What do you do with the kids , summer camps price is outrageous and if you have 2 kids your monthly salary go to the summer camps. Waiting for all European companies workers to shout out how many vacation weeks they got in the summer alone ? The entire corporation goes on vacay in summer , not here though !
