Fantastic insights. Wrestling turns you into a warrior. Wrestlers assume that everything will be hard, and that maximum effort is always required. And they never make excuses for failure. I’ve hired three wrestlers, they are my top three sales reps out a 30 person team.
When the divide between the wealthiest & poorest has grown greater than it’s ever been, and fewer people control a much larger percentage of the world’s wealth, and there aren’t enough jobs that pay a living wage, your expectations for people are unreasonable.
living wage is pretty much a made up line of bullshit. That's just saying, well if you are going to have a business you have to maintain someone's standard of living no matter what they negotiate for at the time of hiring. It's a leftist talking point meant to only signal virtue and do nothing more.
@@l.w.4701 yes tell me more about these heavily taxed free market economies that don't need to provide national security for themselves and are all smaller than a few cities in TX. continue.
I'm amazed that the lack of value anyone has for the nuggets of wisdom that were dropped all over this show in this interview. Two things I would like to say, 1. you will always find what you are looking for 2. what you say about other people, especially people you don't know, says more about you than it does them.
Ben is being hypocritical here. He definitely was quiet quitting when he showed up to get knocked out by a RU-vidr (Jake Paul). But he's taking care of his family so I can't blame him for quiet quitting.
🗣️Quiet quitters are whiners Also, proceeds to whine about the quiet quitting movement for over an hour while completely misrepresenting what quiet quitting is, and giving numerous accounts about how they allowed entities to abuse and undervalue them. Yeeeeeah, no thanks.
Quiet quitting just means doing your job description with a quality that reflects your compensation. You don’t pay a mechanic 20$ to change your engine. You don’t pay 6$ on a cheap toothbrush and expect it to clean like a 50$ one. And you don’t pay an employee minimum wage (the least you legally are allowed to without going to jail) and expect them to work like a 6 figure job. You used to be able to afford a house with most jobs you could get on the market, but now hardly any of them do, and we’re expected to treat said jobs as “learning experiences” I’m sorry but if I wanted a learning experience I’ll just go back to school. It’s just another bunch of manipulative wording by boomers to get cheap labor out of us to garnish their profit margins. Working hard for the sake of working hard is a stupid and self-depreciating thing to do and will only ensure you die faster with no extra pay to show for it. You get promotions from sucking up to your boss and knowing people, not just “working hard” and if just “working hard” got you promotions and raises, then you’d see an increasing rate of effort the higher you go up the corporate ladder. And that pattern just doesn’t exist in reality. Managers routinely show little to no effort or people skills at all yet expect us to “work hard” on the lie that it’ll somehow pay off, but it rarely does. This all reeks of toxic masculinity and being so terrified of not being “manly” If you want people to work more, PAY THEM FOR THEIR WORK. Also I don’t trust a professional overly testosterone flooded guy to know how office politics and dynamics work. Really should’ve picked someone more relatable
I can ultimately only speak to my personal experience here. I've worked a LOT of jobs, with bosses that ranged from loving and supportive to downright exploitative. I've also been an employer myself for over a decade who puts an enormous amount of time and energy into helping my team members succeed... and experiencing being exploited as an employer myself. I've worked in large corporate environments, in kitchens, in small startups, for-profits, non-profits, as a freelancer, as a temp. All of it. In each and every case, even with all but the absolute worst bosses, it was clear they understood how hard it is to find and retain good people. But it also takes time to learn who's genuinely good at their job and wants to progress, vs. people who are marginally competent, checked out, or likely to bolt at the soonest new opportunity. Your team is an INVESTMENT and so is your own career... if you want it to be... Everyone has to decide for themselves what kind of life, career, and work/life/balance they want to have. It's not really a question of which choice is valid or invalid. But if you think you're going to excel in a competitive field by being a clock puncher or that you have nothing to learn in a job in the career you're passionate about... well, then you have even more to learn than you think. And frankly, if you're under 30 and talking about "quiet quitting" instead of actual quitting, and finding a path that gets you excited enough to want more, well, I have very little sympathy for any complaints about getting raises and recognition. If you want to run in place, go right ahead. You'll stay right there where you are. There's nothing "toxic" or even "masculine" about any of that (those are buzzwords). That's just a fact of reality.
Wait a minute. What Ben did for his fight with Jake Paul is literally the definition of quiet quitting. He literally did the bare minimum for that fight. He came in fat and out of shape and got knocked out. He’s literally the poster child for quiet quitting… That is quiet quitting. Taking a fight for half a million and then doing the bare minimum training is quiet quitting…
But Ben is a quiet quitter. He took half a million for a fight and did the bare minimum. Came in out of shape and got knocked out. That’s the definition of quiet quitting. Ben is the poster boy for quiet quitting. Maybe one of the most successful quiet quitters.
