In the actual article the passive voice struck pedestrian was apparently wearing all black and maybe also walking in a highway lane, which still fits here

It meanders but it does have a point. Its first fake point is "people not going above and beyond for jobs they hate isn't new". You then think oh, he's saying that boomer mindset bosses need to stop their latest "ugh young people" craze, it's not new. But wait! No! He's actually telling those 21 year old tiktoking millennial they need to stop thinking they invented slacking off at work. Wait, how did we get to slacking off from his description of his granny just doing her job. But wait! He's actually saying they need to do stop bragging about slacking off at work under your real name... OK fair maybe? Oh wait, he's saying that doing your job and then going home counts as slacking off. He's saying you should do the adult thing and engage in a red queen's race of continually trying to performatively work yourself to death harder than the other employees out of fear of being fired and dying of homelessness. Hmmm.

I'm understanding "quiet quitting" correctly that it's just "people fulfil the terms of their contract", right?

Because if that's the gist… well, *laughs in German*.

My work contract is several hundred pages long (though large sections don't apply to me). It's nice to have everything in Ordnung.

It's okay if you have any questions.


In previous labor movements "quiet quitting" was known as "working to rule", which is a better term IMO.

Yeah and I guess they didn't want office workers getting the idea that maybe they had something in common with people in unions.

The procedure is not novel at all though. But I only ever heard of it being done on people who have some congenital condition or have had their growth stunted due to malnutrition or illness. It’s best done before the end of puberty though.
It’s... it’s.. wow, six inches? Six? Your adult body, stretched? Inches?
