The media,
prompted by big business,
is making a fuss
over employees ‘quiet quitting’,
a phrase they invented
which means
people are doing their jobs
and doing nothing extra.
The ‘extra’ isn’t part
of the job.
It isn’t being paid for
by employers.
It is a thank you
from employees
rewarding great employers.
If our employees
aren’t doing extra sh*t,
if they are ‘quiet quitting’,
then we, as employers,
haven’t earned that thank you.
Quiet quitting
signals a problem
with EMPLOYERS,
not employees.
If our employees
aren’t voluntarily doing more
than the bare minimum,
that is a problem
with our organization,
with our management,
not with the people
we’re managing.
