• article blames employees for only doing the work they are compensated for
• first quote is a CEO, no labor leaders quoted at all in the article
• bs trillions of dollars wasted figure for workers distracted, no calculated figure for wasted trillions on out of control executive compensation
• equivocates work from home with decreased productivity when research shows trends in the opposite direction and people would leave if return to office is required, meaning your most effective employees who can find employment elsewhere will leave

Thanks for nothing CNBC

I used to have anxiety about not working hard enough or being perceived as a slacker. I now live by advice I received from my father (who was very successful in his career): “if you can get by doing 85%, maybe only give 85%.”

Do bees coffee badge or quiet quit?

When someone feels like they have money in their pocket they usually feel pretty good. They chat with people and make plans to do fun stuff.

The bosses want motivated workers, but don’t want to pay for motivation.

What’s the complaint here? Showing up for the community aspect everyone was crying about and then going home to work for the rest of the day is not enough to earn the bare minimum wages everyone is offering?

Work does not pay enough to justify beyond bare minimum.

“Employees have become accustomed to the flexibility of working from home and may only come to the office when absolutely necessary,” said David Satterwhite, CEO of Chronus,

why the chicken fried fuck would anyone go to the office if it’s NOT “absolutely necessary”?? for fun? go fuck yourself, CEO of chronus

Can I get the job of the person who comes up with these stupid phrases that could amuse me for about 5 mins

These weirdos want working to be a religious dedication, life is not all about work

It’s much easier to search for a new job at your desk at home than an open floor office

Shit pay for meaningless work while those in power do nothing about the existential threats facing our species seems like it should be sufficient explanation.

Less interested in work - lmfao, No.

Less interested in toxic environments

Less interested in less and less pay

Less interested in non-growth

Less interested in the bullshit.

I’m so tired of old-school managers whose job is to just attend meetings tell me how being in a noisy office is more productive for my highly technical, focus-dependent work.

Sure, pal. Writing scientific code in a place where people attend meetings with their speakers on, and where there’s always the expectation of being interrupted at any time is better than working alone at home.

Not engaged or actively disengaged employees account for approximately $1.9 trillion in lost productivity nationwide, Gallup found.

Wow, 1.9 Trillion dollars sounds like a lot… until you consider that the top 15 wealthiest INDIVIDUALS in the United States are hoarding more than that.

Guess who’s making them all that money? These “quiet quitting”, “coffee badging” employees.

Rather than framing it as “lost productivity”, why not frame it as “stolen wages” or “wealth drain” instead?

Because pay and promotions are in no way tied to your effort or productivity?
