Excellent well-honed presentation! The growth of executive greed and private equity has eliminated the social contract that leadership had with regular employees. While this statement is not new or amazing, it speaks to where change, in part, needs to come from. I worked since '76 as a factory (manufacturing) engineer at many companies. In this period, the lack of empathy of managers and executives has increased. I now work teaching engineering and I advise my students to find out who REALLY owns the company that they may work for. If it PE or a VC firm pass on the possible employment. The rebuilding of trust will take a generation to fix. Let's get started on this path. Even with AI and all it entails people are still the "special sauce" that makes stuff work.
I am now combining "quiet quitting" and "doing multiple jobs" Several years ago, the company didn't increase my pay even after great results and long hours.. So, the next year I did the "quiet quitting" only do the minimum 8 hours... that year, my pay stayed the same, but my "hourly wage" increased thanks to decreasing working hours.. After that, I tried to cut the hours to 7 hours and use extra 1 hour to do side hustles... the pay from main job stayed the same,, and overall income increased thanks to the side hustles.. The following year, repeat the same formula, main job 6 hours, extra 2 hours for side hustle,, even higher income... and miraculously got raise for the main job
I think it's important to find an occupation that you really enjoy and that it is meaningful to you. If you haven't found it, keep looking. Once you find it, you probably won't want to quit (quietly or otherwise).
I have to strongly disagree. It's not only about the work you're passionate about, but it's also about the way your employee / employer treats you. If they're not accountable for their mistakes, or their words, fail to keep their word, shift blame, micromanage, don't respect your time, don't allow you the space to grow, and don't understand what you do on a day-to-day without interrupting you to ask what you do, or for a status update, it can really take the motivation and even passion out of the job. Why? Because the company hired you for work output. If they hinder / prevent / obstruct / distract you from achieving the purpose in which you were hired, and even in some cases BLAME YOU for it, there's not enough passion and motivation in the world. Honestly speaking, I'd much, much, much rather work with someone that I hate as a person who's honest, consistent, transparent, respects boundaries, challenges me, trusts and respects me *ANYDAY* over someone I really, really like as a person, yet does not know how to manage people.
@@wetter4293 You're right. (Bad culture + good project = bad situation). (Good culture + bad project = bad situation). I suppose there is a limited supply of good projects and good teams to work on.
Feeling apreciated, work-based social functions, On-bording buddies, MANAGERS taking paid time off as... a good example? (WTF!?), I mean... sure, thoses certainly sound like thinly veiled attempts at manipulation to avoid paying your employees a living wage.
Previous generations worked endless hours of overtime to pay for their house and holidays. They didn't just get handed them like it's implied these days.
I love how her examples are extremely high wage earners (besides teachers). Ma’am a surgeon or pilot has no reason to “quite quit” They ARE the value. It’s giving intellectual dishonesty
