She literally sold her company, huffington post, so she could live her life freely. But gets mad when others want to leave and live their life if they aren’t paid enough.

These CEOs are shaming employees for “quiet quitting, ” while they themselves are “quiet demoting” or “quiet firing” their employees.

[Nerobyrne]

You call it "quiet quitting", I call it "acting your wage"

[vsmith]

The backlash to "quiet quitting" is the inevitable end result of a system that rewards narcissism and psychopathy in the workplace. Refusing to break your back for a company that doesn't value you isn't even a radical position.

I am a Boomer, two years retired and I still agree with you. No corporation EVER did right by me for forty years.

[starbrand]

The billion dollar company I currently work for is constantly cutting hours to "save money, " and yet when we limit our availability, you know to have a life, they get pissed. If you don't want us to Quiet Quit and Joyfully Join instead, how about you Proudly Pay.

When I read this and watched the CNBC interview with Kevin O'Leary one thing totally stuck out: they're scared to death of quiet quitting. Using terms like, "it's a cancer" or "invasive species" tells me they probably already know it's present in their own businesses. What scares them is the fact they've feasted on extra, free labor for decades without a thought of the cost it exacts on their employees and now they're finally realizing that people are tired of getting screwed over. Amazing video!

This is rich, coming from Arianna Huffington, who didn't pay writers and instead relied on free content "for exposure" for like 13 years for Huffington Post.

Does anyone else find it INCREDIBLY ridiculous and weird that doing your job, and meeting the average standard of doing so, is being associated with quiting?! It does not sound like a term an average worker came up with, especially considering that 99% of non-management workers totally agree with the logic behind "quiet quitting." It sounds more like something someone in a management position came up with to use as bad word for people who do their job and dont go above and beyond.

Josh, what you termed "quiet firing" is precisely what happened to my brother and me back when we worked together at a nightmare chicken joint. We went "above and beyond" for years with false promises of raises, promotions, and time off while understaffed and in terrible working conditions.

It wasn't worth it.

My brother got out first, managing to reverse his burnout after only three months. It took a severe skin infection caused by one of the manager's last cut corners before I came to my senses. I discovered the hard way that the food-safe sanitizer fluid I was cleaning food surfaces with wasn't sanitizer. It was a dangerous corrosive. They didn't have medical insurance or allowed for time off to heal either.

When I realized my manager at the time would just kick my dead body to check if I was faking it and then only call the ambulance to get my corpse out of the way or if a customer complained. I vowed to never go back. It took 3 weeks to beat back the infection and far longer to beat the burnout. I may be making peanuts freelancing right now, but I have my health and sanity back.

You can't put a price on that.

“Quiet quitting” has been around for years. It just has a name now.

[dbsuperfanboy]

Boomers worked 40 hour weeks and had everything they wanted. A house, 2 vehicles, one person could stay at home, 4 kids and have time to enjoy their family. Not now. 12 hour days, both family members work a job, kids are raised by school, teachers are parents and 6 day work weeks.

[こく月X]

She’s making a lot of presumptions.
You can still get joy and love in your work if you’re quiet quitting. Shes just thinking of her bottom line.

[fillername]

Quiet Quitting is bad but Quiet Theft of your employees time, skills and potential is good. That is the message she is trying to convey.

[qwerty]

It all boils down to upper management being full of Sociopaths and Psychopaths.

[humanbeing]

Not sure why companies are having a meltdown over "quiet quitting". It actually benefits the company. They don't have to pay the pitiful raises and/or bonuses that companies don't want to payout in the first place. Employees are willfully accepting that they will never advance and will never get the raises/bonuses because "it's not in the budget" per company cogs.

[Rystic]

Remember, whenever someone complains about Quiet Quitting, tell them the best way to combat it is by adopting European business standards. Employees get a mandatory thirty days of vacation per year, sign contracts on hire so they cannot be abruptly fired, and have strong unions to represent their needs.

[shaojeemy]

This is a business, not a charity. I’m a worker, not a donor.

The business won’t do stuff for free, why should I?

[josiah]

Pushing yourself is how your grow. I agree, which is why I push myself in areas outside my job. That is where the growth is.

She's gaslighting, shaming and guilting. Wrapping it all up in pseudo-positivity to make it look like something wonderful. Remember, CEOs have among the highest percentage of psychopaths of any profession. Take everything a CEO says with a huge grain of salt.

[walief]

Quiet quitting as you describe it sounds to me like taking the same stance that your employer takes toward you. They pay you no more than they have to. They hire no more employees than they have to. They don't even provide you with the best tools to do your job until they have to.

BTW - I'm not opposed to doing more than my job requires, but I do it to improve my own value or keep habits that may get me a better situaton.
