Twitter whistleblower fallout, the debate over student loans and quiet quitting, explained

“Nightcap’s” Jon Sarlin talks with CNN's Clare Duffy about what’s next for Twitter after a former executive’s explosive allegations. Plus, The Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell shares why she’s not a fan of President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. And CNN’s Allison Morrow explains why quiet quitting isn’t really about quitting.

Quiet quitting is a made up derogatory term for employers whining that the employees won’t do free work anymore.
When an employer continually makes higher demands from you but hasn’t given you a raise in a long time what should we call that? Quiet firing?

Seems Musk had played a cruel prank on Twitter and exposed the skeletons in their cupboard.

I've been quiet quitting the same job for the last 9 years.

I thought it was called “work/life balance” or at least that’s what we’ve been calling this exact thing for more than a decade.
It much more fun though to repurpose an old idea with a new name to get views on the internet.

Again, there's no such thing as "Quiet Quitting". This is just called working. This is how a job works, and has worked, for many decades now, if not longer.

In most civilized countries, universities are largely funded by the state anyway and the cost of studying there is a tiny fraction of what universities in the US charge. People in the US aren't even angry about tax cuts for the rich, but now it's supposedly wrong to reduce student debt?

Just so you know, “explained” and “indoctrinated” are not the same thing...

I thought the student loan debate was suppose to happen in congress.

Intresting I decided to quite quit before I knew the term. I was always the employee who went above and beyond but my company proved they didn't appreciate me or frankly gave a fux about me. I was home sick with covid couldn't breathe and they attempted to discredit me saying my symptoms were not bad and they attempted to deny my covid time. After that I lost trust faith and respect for my job

When I got Out of high school I wanted to serve my country went in for four years did very well but with the G.I. Bill I still didn’t have enough money to go to college with my family being poor so I would like my 10, 000

The student loan handout is possibly the dumbest policy this administration has come up with. Lets help out the most privileged people in this society, forget about people in poverty or building up our infrastructure.

Interesting to have student loan forgiveness and "quiet quitting" in the same segment. Especially comments using the word grift about student loan forgiveness. Call me old, I was taught an honest day's pay for an honest day's work. What I saw in that Office Space clip was not "quiet quitting" as I understand the term, but grifting - not giving an honest day's work for what a person in a white collar office job is most likely getting as arguably honest pay, or at least a mutually agreed upon contractual amount. (Yeah, I'm a killjoy.) The employee who comes into work late, but gets paid for that time, as well as the time spent taking an immediate hour break at his desk, and who probably takes a lunch with some extra paid time around the state and federally recognized 30 minutes the employer is not obligated to pay, plus probably leaving early and getting paid for that time as well, is bilking the company, not quietly quitting. Quietly quitting appears to me to be more like, the job description says the job is 0900-1730 (8 hours paid, plus 30-minute lunch uninterrupted by work responsibilities and unpaid) Monday-Friday, not 0845-1800, and working through lunch, even if the employer pays for the 30 minutes that was supposed to be lunch, plus coming in on weekends when the boss demands, even if the employer pays overtime as also state and federally mandated. Not doing the job at all and getting paid for it is not quietly quitting. That's grounds for termination. Quiet quitting is making the employer respect the mutually agreed upon terms of employment, for example, with regard to hours expected to work. At least that's what I got from the TikTok clip.

It's debt payment relocation because it's the taxpayers who will be stuck with paying the bill.

Student debt is not about irresponsible young people taking out more loans than they'll be able to pay back.

It's about a corruption cycle between loan companies, lobbyists, and our lawmakers, designed to make them rich and powerful — AT YOUR EXPENSE.

[sethm]

Here's the problem with student loans, I don't have them, so why should I pay for idiots that do

CNN is cleaning house, isn’t going to end with Stelter

[beefree]

It doesn’t just get canceled, it’s paid back by the low and middle income citizens.

So when are we going to get the full amount of our loans forgiven? 10K is not nearly enough. And with the way the economy is going we need more stimulus checks. With climate change and global warming, we're going to need all the money we could get
