His crime was especially heinous: operating and unlicensed SCUBA shop.

quiet quitting is when you do your job and go home at the time your shift ends, and dont do extra unpaid work or overtime. its very hurtful for managers :(

https://www.personio.com/hr-lexicon/quiet-quitting/

quote:

Quiet quitting is when employees continue to put in the minimum amount of effort to keep their jobs, but don’t go the extra mile for their employer.
This might mean not speaking up in meetings, not volunteering for tasks, and refusing to work overtime.

quote:

When an employee engages in quiet quitting, they stop going above and beyond for their employer and simply do the bare minimum possible to avoid getting fired.

In practice, this might mean:

    Not volunteering for extra work, leadership roles or responsibilities

    Not speaking up in meetings unless addressed directly

    Not responding to emails or messages outside of work hours

    Turning down work outside of their job description

    Becoming isolated from the rest of the team and avoiding social events

    Taking a more-than-usual number of sick days (absenteeism)

It's when workers realized extra effort isn't rewarded, raises aren't coming, and management doesn't have their back. So they just do what is in their job description.


Seems similar to something school teachers here do sometimes instead of striking, "work to rule". They don't do anything outside their contracts, no running clubs after hours, no buying school supplies on their own dime. And then the schools fall to pieces because they can't run if teachers don't "volunteer" to do a bunch of free stuff. Quiet quitting is like that, but without even telling managers that you're doing it because you've lost hope that better things are possible.

someone I know has to work an unpaid day of mandatory labor for the organization's "volunteering day" PR event. it's a public agency with hourly pay. they have to be there cause their manager said members of some staff organization have to attend to organize the volunteers. no pay though. lol

it's stuff like hard farm labor too. I think some for private companies!

That's insane. We do these type of things at my office but they are optional and paid. That said, the last one was at a food packing plant that made pre-fab meal packages and they neglected to inform people that it was an explicitly evangelical organization. The 3 hour process involved multiple prayers and watching a movie exhorting Jesus and such.

as we all know, lenin said jesus was the first communist and it'd be pretty funny to try to argue with so called evangelicals by pointing out all the differences between what they're regularly peddling and what jesus actually advocated.

When I was working in agriculture our company was partnered with a local food donation thing where the concept was they took loads of crops that were less than picture perfect (and likely would have otherwise been dumped or scrapped for animal feed), sorted them into produce boxes, and gave them to the needy. Good idea of course and so when a (paid) volunteer opportunity from my company came up I went for it just to check it out.

You could kind of tell something was up from looking at the building which had a parking lot full of fancy cars and a lobby/conference rooms that was like a swanky law office or something. Anyways we got quickly shepherded to the back warehouse where they'd drop pallets of apples or onions or w/e and we'd sort through and fill up the donation boxes. It immediately became apparent that the bulk of the produce had been improperly stored and was spoiling, our directives were not to toss it unless over 50% was rotting lol. Clearly some tax writeoff garbage and all we were really accomplishing was moving stuff that probably should have already been thrown away from big containers into smaller containers which would then likely immediately be thrown away.

The "administrators" on site "running" the operation spent the entire time just browsing their cell phones, all the people working were volunteers from various local agg businesses.

they are members of SEA PATROL. It is a heavily militarized fascist organization with an unlimited budget for flamethrowers, jetpacks, and diver-eating submersibles.

The sole remit of SEA PATROL is to stop unauthorized recreational divers from doing amatuer SCUBA after it was outlawed, and they will deploy lethal force and summary executions to do so.

To be clear, the authorial voice tells us that this is a good thing and the hobbyist divers have it coming.
