Quiet Quitting: a term made up by employers to shame those who no longer allow themselves to be overworked and exploited
I stopped doing that years ago. It has done wonders for my mental health.
Yep!
What a wild concept. Leaving work when you are supposed to and not taking it home with you. Wait a second, isn't that what we call a "job". We live during some messed up times when doing what you are supposed to do isn't enough.

It's not "quiet quitting," it's just acting your wage.
Underrated comment
Seriously. For years I have been saying ‘how much do you think I make$?’
What gets me is the same vultures that are fine when you put in ot, have small expense reports, come in sick, work on vaca… Scrutinize your expense reports, drag you for being late…
"Quiet quitting" makes it sound like workers are being lazy or unappreciative when they're literally doing exactly what they're paid to do. The actual praxis is called "work to rule", though I've also heard people calling it "act your wage".
Thank you for knowing the term 'work to rule'.
Act your wage. I love it.
Yeah, the only place I’ve heard the term “quiet quitting” is from people reporting on the phenomenon, not from anyone actually advocating for it. It’s almost like the corporate media wants to paint this as a bad then when really we’re only asking for a living wage.
It's called working...and it's what every grown up does the moment they realize their boss and/or company doesn't give a fuck about them & has been since the dawn of making a living.
It's not cool wokeness, it's not a social media trend. Stop trying to make everything an important movement, for fucks sake. Rich folk DO NOT CARE what we do on the internet, they're only concern is to keep us poor so they can keep us controlled.
If we put half the energy into fixing this broken system as we do constantly trying to make something fun & cutesy out of it, we might achieve some ACTUAL change.
Act your wage, I'm diggin on that.👍
Only management is calling it "quiet quitting" everyone else is just making sure they get paid for the work they do.
Seriously! Worker productivity is up, wages aren’t rising to match, and somehow management wants pity when people *only* work the hours they’re paid for.
"minimum wage only buys minimum effort" is a phrase that is way underused.
Much prefer "Acting your wage". Pay me more, I'll do more!
Dunno who coined it, but it's a terribly misleading term.
For workers - It's a Marathon - Not a Sprint. Managers want you to 'sprint' all the way.
I love the corn kid. So sweet.
Oh please everyone is just buttering up to this kid!
Schmoyoho (a RUclips channel) made a hilarious and sweet songified version of Tariq's interview that most people would enjoy
"Quiet quitting". Also known as: "working what you are paid for and not taking on jobs not in the job description because of being guilt-tripped by the boss".
They can't fire you for doing your job. Even though they try.
@@youdonthavetoreadthispost.5850 "right to work" states in the US can fire people for no reason.
@@ganth0re But not that reason.
@@somesweetguy HELL no... god forbid you work someplace like food service where everyone thinks you're worthless and a piece of shit for having that job and don't deserve things like respect or wages that represent the *value* of your labor instead of its difficulty. Paying overtime is an absolute joke. I've had employers literally edit time sheets for breaks etc padding a few minutes here and a few minutes there just to get someone below 40H so they don't owe them ANYTHING in benefits or overtime. 39.90H working and you get diddly in benefits. Awesome system. Great idea. "but you dont work 40h a week though so... you shouldnt get blah blah blah" yeah ok whatever. Overtime is unheard of outside of anything but jobs where not paying it gets pretty damn expensive when you're caught. Food service? Meh. No one cares.
To be fair, I had a coworker that if ANYTHING that wasn’t specifically outlined in his contract was asked (not demanded) of him, he’d refuse to do it.
Like shovel an inch of snow just outside of the door while it was actively snowing, so our customers wouldn’t slip. We have a guy we hire to plough the lot, but he can’t be there all day. I mean it takes probably 30 seconds and you can do it with one hand on the shovel.
So the more senior people would do it, myself…my 73 year old coworker…
Nobody ever had a gravestone that said "I wish I'd spent more time at the office"
🤣🤣🤣 How about: "If I hadn't worked so hard, I wouldn't be here now."
My ex boss DEF would love that on their grave.
Doing what I am paid to do is kinda what work is about. Doing more than I'm paid to do is giving charity to the rich, a pointless activity.
Well said.
Well, it depends; sometimes doing more than you’re paid to do is because you like the customer and/or feel bad for them and want to help them out.
But people get promoted for doing just that.
edit: Probably not as often as they should because who you know (do?) is more important today than what you know. (do?)
edit2: "It's not what you do, it's who you do." There. I fixed it for you. (me?)
@@bubbledoubletrouble the people complaining about " quiet quitting" is entitled rich CEO's and the 1% trying to gaslight workers into doing more with no pay to match that extra effort to make more money for them. So they can suck it with there crying
LOL
That's what companies want to pretend quiet quitting is. In reality it's actually doing the job as agreed in your contract. If your hired for 40 hrs/week, you _actually_ work 40 hours instead of the 90 they demand. What a novel concept, that only the USA is surprised by... it should be named 'acting your wage' because it's simply doing what you're actually getting paid for.
Never even knew what this meant until I worked for the government - THEY MAKE YOU go home at the end of the day! Thank god for unions!
“Setting boundaries” might be a better phrase.
Been doing this shit my whole time in the work force. I am not paid enough to care. I am paid enough to show up and complete basic job duties then go home at precisely the time on my shift thing... you can suck one if you think I'm staying longer than that. Pay me enough to give a shit and I will. To date the only person to ever pay me a wage I respected has been... myself. Bugger working for anyone else ever again. Sad that many do not have the same opportunity to make a choice like that and are, like I was, stuck in the shit hole that is the American workforce.
Indeed, what is actually happening is, people starting to "work to rule" and nothing else. But calling it "work to rule" will make employers and corporations look bad.

That corn kid really has kernels of wisdom
His interview is pure joy.
😁 yep
No, those are lumps, with knobs.
A-maize-ing
HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
"Not everybody has to like it for it to be the best", such wisdom from the mouths of babes.
Most edifying thing I heard all day. Week. Half-decade.
That clip made my day...Corn rocks! 🌽
“A lump with knobs”
Also a great descriptor
We are pretty much doomed when people watch this idiot and don't pay attention to what is going on in the world.
I flat out told my boss I’m too old to be evaluated and reprimanded. Don’t care anymore. Im a janitor and I refuse to sit through getting written up or punished for something as stupid as a missed paper or a left out broom. If that’s quiet quitting then I guess im doing it. I won’t be showing up for any meetings that aren’t training or team building. Ride her till she bucks me.
I am a janitor too and I clean 28 classrooms a night. I feel you on the paper.... It is everywhere! I have to learn to let things go a little and not drive myself nuts over every piece of paper. I wish I could teach myself how to not care so much. Any tips?
@@ginadelsasso288 yea if you work nights like me put your phone In the other room. Most bosses don’t care if they wake you up 3 hours into a “days” sleep for petty nonsense. I’ve also told mine do not contact me unless I’m on the clock.
* I suffer from crazy bursts of anxiety just trying to go to sleep. I can’t count on two hands the amount I’ve woken up to angry texts from my boss. Always for insane BS like an M&M in the hallway or something.
@@ginadelsasso288 so sorry to hear this, as a teacher I always make it a point to speak to all staff with respect and ask their name and speak to them about their lives outside of school. I also teach my students to respect the space by picking up after themselves and leaving the classroom as clean as possible. I worked many years as a cook, dishwasher, and janitor and it's a very difficult job that gets even less respect than being a teacher.
@@djb903 I’m the gym guy at my school. I do locker rooms gyms and pool and for the most part the coaches are very respectful. Our main issue imo is micro management and bad pay. We trade our lives just like everyone else and someone HAS to do this job. It’s very offensive that we make minimum wage to do insanely gross and strenuous work. We were essential just not paid like it. Thank you for leading by example tho it means a lot to the people that it affects the most.
Persevere.
“Quiet Quitting” is a term for literally doing what you’re paid to do in a culture that has normalized viewing yourself as a disposable possession of your employer.
I remember when this was referred to as "Work to rule" - which was done to prove to employers that the work they pay for should be all they should expect. Want more work done? Pay your employees more.
@@alexkasacous I always told my bosses, if you pay minimum wage I'll do minimum work
thank you for explaining the term
I agree. Companies want you to have loyalty to them and work above and beyond but if they won't compensate you for the extra work and checking emails off hours, are willing to fire you if you need extended time off for personal reasons, or will lay people off to increase profits then why should you be loyal? Shouldnt loyalty be earned?
Check your typos when you're writing definitions. It's Quiet Quitting, Not "Quieting". At least define terms correctly
I'm old. I used to be union when it meant something. We had methods similar to " quiet quitting" which were effective. "Working by the book" and "slowdowns" come to mind. If more stringent measures were needed, there were always "Sit-down striking" and "walkouts", or if needed, "wildcat strikes."
You should mentor younger people. Unions are needed badly today!
I had a boss who would say “How can you say you’re overworked. I never see anyone working through lunch or after five”, as she literally was never there at lunch or after five…or before 10 in the morning.
A lot of people can relate to that.
The other thing is they can want you to work as hard as they do and you don't own the company.
Lol
@@youdonthavetoreadthispost.5850 That's when you have the boss that actually practices what they preach. Plenty want you to put in the 12-hour days while still maintaining their personal 10-hour work week. Anyone who has ever worked in retail or fast food can you tell you about it -- franchises are largely owned by exploitative, arrogant idiots that stumbled into enough money to purchase something like that. Grandma died and left you $400,000? BUY A TACO BELL FRANCHISE!
In spite of their 'success' being linked to little else but genetic lottery, they think of themselves as all Rockefeller geniuses, abusing their workers as long as they're open ... only to see their businesses routinely fail inside of a year or two. At the very least, owners and managers are cycled as they repeatedly stupid themselves out of a job.
"not everyone has to like it" Tariq is more open minded than half the population of the US.
Exactly! What a well-raised kid I must say
And the majority of that half of the population of the us watch liberal puppet shows like this lol

@@jeremybenoit759 absolutely I know so many liberals who just shove their beliefs down my throat! Like forcing their religious believes literally into my womb! And also how they force us to fit into whatever narrative gender and sexuality they deem morally acceptable! And they are certainly all about forcing us into whatever heteronormative idea of a relationship their religion allows! How awful! Can’t imagine a conservative doing such a thing! 😢
Jeremy benoit, just how pathetic does your life have to be to waste your time trolling?
Fugitive Trash Panda Manifesto may be my favorite Meanwhile term - much love.
I've developed this reputation for being lazy because I refuse to work for 16-20 hours a day, taking my legally entitled breaks, using the bathroom BEFORE my shift starts instead of starting my shify early and not get paid for it, and not working to the point where I become dehydrated.
Well done. Stay strong. Workers unite.

"A big lump with knobs" perfectly describes me. I'm corn too! Are you? Tariq is popping!
“Quiet Quitting” isn’t new; it’s just been rebranded. The original saying was, “I work to LIVE…I don’t live to WORK.” 😉
You mean like people in literally every country but the USA? USA is the only country I know of where people live to work, gotta get that American dream no matter how much it hurts you, your friends, or your family...

Going through and boosting all the comments that are clarifying the actual resistive practices of ‘quiet quitting,’ which is a term that exploitative management uses to shame workers into doing more than they’re compensated for.
Ditto. Hopefully workers are solidifying and self-educating after decades of draconian union-busting and underpay.
Doing the bare minimum at your job just means you are doing your job, you're not going to get payed more in most fields for working harder. This whole "quiet quitting" trend is bs.
Love the 'numbskull' since you can't spell paid. 😀 Had a good giggle over that!

I left my last 3 jobs with no notice. I got another job no problem. Literally zero consequences. They wouldn't warn you if they were going to fire you and leave you unemployed. Why do we have to respect them if they don't respect us?
You don't. And you didn't!.
Very true...they don't give us two weeks to find another job....why should we give them ⚠️⚠️⚠️😠💩🤡
There's this guy on RUclips called claus kellerman. He got famous for being a world of tanks player and video maker but before that he was a scientist and he just felt that everyone in his company was so goddamn incompetent and he couldn't get anything done he spent two years doing nothing like office space. He would go into the executive's office because he would like to work and shower while they were having a meeting and sing. I wish I could give you a reference but he has so many videos I wouldn't even know what you wanted he would talk about this on. He also has Klaus kellerman POV where he just shoots talks about moronic politicians and policy if you're into that kind of thing I would recommend it he's very entertaining
They don't care one bit! Two of the many scenarios from my prior employer (before I left so it didn't happen to me since I was about to reach my 20 years of service).:
1) Multiple people were laid off/let go who were 20-30 plus years. One of which was on her vacation week. While she was on the road driving home, work called her to fire her. She said "I'm on the road coming home from my vacation." They said "well, can you pull over for a second?" They didn't care nor gave any respect to her or the other long time employees!
2) A worker of 40+ years retired. Our department was to give him a pizza party to celebrate, because....of course that's what we all want after 40 years of dedication! Well, management dropped the ball and "forgot" to order the pizza for his last day. They came up to him and said sorry and handed him a $7 voucher to the cafeteria. As if he would want to eat there yet again!
I think they intentionally look for their higher paid employees and "find a way/reason" to let them go in order to keep hiring new people right out of college at much lower rates. There were a ton of people that were pissed that I left yet happy for me that I was able to move on.
I don’t know about in the states but in Canada your employer is legally required to give you notice or pay in lieu of notice if they are terminating you without cause. Likewise you are required to give your employer notice if you are quitting. The exact amount of notice required depends on how long you have worked there starting at 2 weeks and increases by a week for every year of service after the first two years.
If you quit without notice not only are you burning a bridge but your former employer can sue you for damages related to you quitting without notice.

"Bare minimum" is what everyone is paid for. You want more?
Pay more.
Every time someone defines "quiet quitting" it sounds like what I've always been doing ever since I got my first job at 16. I've been quiet quitting for decades.
You’re smarter than many of us.
That's really sad. The idea is that it's temporary. Ideally you would find a job you are interested in and challenge yourself to use your time wisely
@@joannafarben1687 I wonder how old you are that you think that’s sad. You’re either over 75 or under 25? Employers hold no loyalty. We are not using our time wisely when we think they care for us so it’s worth the extra effort. There needs to be a balance of your measurable payoff for your future when you do extra for your paid role, and that payoff cannot be for later in life - there’s no trust nor security for that - it needs to be soon or within a time frame you can afford.
I had to check what 'quiet quitting' means. It sounds like 'doing your job'. If the bosses expect us to go above and beyond our job description, pay us above and beyond our agreed salary. Simple!
@@joannafarben1687 If you're not a major chairman or politician, I can guarantee that if you died at work, you would be replaced before your obituary even gets printed. Companies actually used to value their employees, but now they'll axe you if they can find someone who would do your job for 50c cheaper. You don't owe a company any loyalty if they're that willing to lay you off to save a buck
The corn kid is the best thing to come out of South Dakota since North Dakota.
Quiet quitting sounds a little like the British method of striking called 'work to rule,' where every detailed rule in an industry is followed to paralyze the business.
Thank you for explaining the phrase
Ah yes, "malicious compliance". One of my favorites!
Sounds like when I worked at the ice cream shop at the university. Office workers would come down and cut in line in front of the students who had to get to class. If someone ordered a double cone, we usually gave them 3 dips of ice cream. When someone cut the line, if they ordered a double dip, that is exactly what they got: 2 dips. Thanks goodness there weren't mirrors behind us or those customers would have seen our smirks!
And paralyze it they did! I wouldn't use the British method as an example, they killed their auto industry, along with management that couldn't keep up with progress made by industry elsewhere.
Nope. It’s just americas way of shaming people for only doing their job and not sacrificing themselves completely for a company that will replace them
Shakespeare would be proud of these linguistic tonguetwisters,
"quiet quitting" so basically just working, while the CEO & Board of Investors generate infinite wealth by evading taxes & ruining everyone else's lives... yeah that sounds like Just Work
But the key difference is doing only what you're required to. So many employers expect or even demand their workers to do more than they are supposed to or contracted to. This doesn't work necessarily in an hourly position because you get paid for your time. Its mostly done in the salary sense because by doing more things you don't get paid more. You are just expected to do work for x, y, and z and then get paid a set amount even if your work changes. It allows more pay stability but could lead to you working harder some weeks and easier on others. However, most employers abuse that by making many employees do work they aren't required to do without a pay raise because then they don't have to hire a new person to do it. And as such, they are making more profits. People are just starting to stand up to it
@@matthewdovidas4213 Never accept a Salaried Position!
@@susanbengston3208 well that depends. Sure it's generally a good idea to get paid hourly but I've had some genuinely good employers under salary. They took care of their employees and made you feel appreciated (and not just the "we put a pool table in the break room" type of appreciated but actually appreciated) and gave raises accordingly. If you were a hard worker you got a significant raise come salary negotiations for the following year. And they made clear to all employees that. And not just that if they felt you needed to be recognized for going above and beyond mid-year they would also give you a bonus. Sure it was a small business, sure late stage capitalism hates that concept. But if you get with a company that values you and respects you as a person and they offer you a good salary don't see why not. It was a tech business so sometimes we were really working hard and needed all hands on deck and other timed we were more lax. And they treated us appropriately. We got paid the same all the time so whether we were working more or less we still got the same pay and it averaged out. And not only that if we were really working hard for a while we got bonuses. And when we were slow instead of us having to sit in the office for no reason, we all just worked less hours and got more time off. If I didn't move so I had more help with my child after he was born I probably would still be there. They were a great employer

Nurses are notorious for working through breaks, expected to stay over if someone calls off, or come in on their day off for meetings or committee work or mandated annual training. They can't abandon their patients. I had worked at one place of employment for four years with never a call off. I was late 30 minutes one time when the time changed and I forgot to change my clock. I came in for meetings and training. I did not "exceed expectations" on my annual evaluation because I didn't go "above and beyond." I asked what more I could have done to earn that extra point. I was told that I needed to participate in the various charity work the hospital soonsored to promote their image. That year I had participated in a city wide trivia game but my previous boss who was fired didn't mark it down in my file. I was pi**ed.
well look at he bright side your bladder is empty
And that's why they make the big bucks.
To nurses..its not just a but a vocation and I appreciate everything they have done for...love to all nurses that go that extra mile!!
This is how it has always worked, we're just now standing up for ourselves.
As a retired nurse I agree with your statement completely. I took care of patients for 53 years. Looking back I was dedicated to my job. It was never about the money. It was compassion and caring for human life. Most doctors have the same work ethic. That is why not everyone can do this job.

Quiet quitting new term for "good enough for government work."
Employers are calling it "quiet quitting". It has been called "Working to rule" since the creation of workers unions.
Get well soon, Stephen's tongue!
This would be a weird comment to view out of context. But, that's true for most of them.
"Most drowned man"? Really? When "Most Florida man outside Florida" was right there!
Oh My God Stephen I know you're human and you need a vacation. So I endured without you but it is so good to have you back! I haven't kept up on the news because nobody does it like you do. I haven't laughed like this since you left. So glad you're back! And I'm already dreading your next break.

that’s funny, cause i watch these every day they are on and i’ve never not skipped that part
In my 30+ year experience being in a unionized job, we *only ever* used the "work to rule" when things (negotiations) were going poorly between Labor and Management. It was *expected* that you always did more than required, no extra pay or benefits. The "work to rule" would show them how they can not get by if staff won't routinely do more than they're actually paid to do. (I'm a Healthcare worker, ie: government employee.) No wonder there is so much burnout. This existed long before Covid, so not a new issue. Historically the bulk of the Labor side were female while the Management side were mostly male. Surprise!! 🙄
I laughed harder at Lt. “Kernel” than I should have.
I’ve “silently sit quietly with a hundred yard stare in your car quit” before. It’s when you do just that, drive home and never answer their phone calls or texts, even years later when they beg to get you back. Should’ve appreciated me a little sooner.
Quiet quitting is literally just doing the job..Tf?
Literally just showing up and not doing your job
Would you want a doctor treating you to be doing their best or just enough to not get fired because that's what they're paid to do?
@@sunfloweralpacas 😕 This is not the definition I have heard. When I've heard this term used it has meant showing up to the job but only doing the tasks you were hired to do, and not doing a bunch of extra stuff that you aren't getting compensated for. Plenty of jobs expect you to do extra, stay late, take work home etc without any additional compensation to reflect the additional work. If someone is getting paid by the hour it's kind of bs to expect them to take work home on top of it and spend hours working off the clock. A lot of jobs also hire people at minimum wage to do entry level jobs and then over time switch them to advanced tasks without ever increasing the pay. Idk, I haven't heard this term used to describe people showing up and just sitting there doing nothing.
@@bruceh9780 this might be news to you, but doctors get paid more than the vast majority of Americans.
It's really not a hard concept; if corporations raking in billions in profits want their employees to do extra work off the clock, etc. they need to start paying for it.

Meanwhile Introduction.
Nailed It.
"Quiet quitting" is a misnomer, and a deliberate one at that to make workers look lazy, which they are not. What is actually happening now is people have started to *Work-to-Rule* , meaning, only working the hours that are agreed upon in their contracts, and nothing more. It's notorious in certain fields, that over-time doesn't get compensated properly, and ontop of which the extra stress working over-time can cause, depending on the type of work, and ensuing health-issues.
No “quiet quitting” is when you simply don't show up to work ever again.
This whole thing here is just doing what you're paid to do without fear of being replaced.
right? YOLO out and never go back or tell anyone anything... silence... quietly... like a ninja in the night. I've been doing whatever the hell this is for DECADES... since I was 18 and realized no one cared, life wasn't fair, and that the world favors assholes. Nah. Nope. Not working hard unless I'm paid working hard level money. Presently employers offer "I bothered to show up" money at best.
Ah, so THAT'S the modern, PC name for the Irish Goodbye? The things you learn in the RUclips comment section...
@@TheActionBastard If you actually give working hard a chance, and then see no positive result (e.g.: pay raises, promotion, even a lot of praise), then doing the minimum is fine IMHO. If you do the bare minimum from day 1, then don't expect anything to improve in your life. Ever.
The moment Steven revealed that the Wendy’s out break was from lettuce, I thought “Well, I’ve only ever got the baconator”
Now you can actually lose weight by eating at Wendy's!
Quiet Quitting is just corporate speak for people only doing the jobs you pay them for when they're corporate masters are used to intimidating employees into doing extra work for free.
Kid: "not everyone has to like it."
Elon Musk: "the new LoR show is too woke to enjoy."
thus proving that Elon Musks class & maturity are less than a young childs..
I think the young child showed a lot more emotional maturity than a majority of adults with that sentence.
Hm.. It sounds to me that the kid was correct. Elon was stating his opinion as someone who doesn't enjoy a shitty show. 😊
And there goes thousands of people checking for space in their own closed mouths, and realising they too have “too much tongue”…. 🤪
IT’S CORN!!
@gelas lawas CORN!!
How is it quitting when you're doing your job to the letter? Meanwhile, employers are successfully suing for the right to terminate preventative care. Should this be called Loud Assholing?
The good ones play hurt. Thanks for going so hard for us, Stephen's tongue.
"Without even the courtesy of proposing a Ménage à trois!" LOL 😀
I don’t get that people think this quiet quitting thing is something new. People have been sandbagging jobs since jobs were invented.
Dear Stephen, You are the silliest man. I just love you so much.
I guess I'm quietly quitting while watching this video and counting the minutes until Friday workday is over. Since working my ass off never got me anywhere in comparison to others that are quietly quitting every day five day's per week I think I can indulge myself in this new concept I learnt today.
Thanks Stephen, now I can't get my tongue out of my head. :(
It must be difficult to eat corn on the cob without your 2 incisor teeth. Hope they grow in for the corn kid soon, so he can continue to enjoy corn more easily.
the Air France bit had me rolling! 🤣
... and "Lt. Colonel" too! 🤣🤣
I love the French pilot fight you acted out 😂
Yo, Stephen, you'll probably never read this but: *Kamistad gel.*
I use that for every inflammation and abrasions in my mouth.
It numbs the pain and helps finding rest, by easing the need to always touch around the sore spot.
You are a good human today.
"Most Drowned Man" made me laugh louder than I have in a while. So good lol
“Quiet firing” as defined by DeAndre Brown is the bigger problem. Where the employer “fails to reward an employee for their contributions to an organization, forcing them to leave their jobs.”
“It works great for companies…eventually you’ll either feel so incompetent, isolated, and unappreciated that you’ll go find a new job, and they never have to deal with a development plan or offer severance,” wrote recruiter Bonnie Dilbe.
A lot of people have had the quiet firing experience.
Still feels weird without Jon
Did you just wake up from a coma? Lol
@@blascantu7221 The word "still" is evidence that he was not in a coma. That would have been, "Where's John?"
"Doing the bare minimum at your job to get paid while looking for something better" wasn't always called 'quiet quitting.'
It used to be called, 'doing your damn job.'
I quiet quit my last job, 6 years ago. That was a process that lasted nearly a year. I bet it’s been the standard working strategy of about a third of Americans since 1995 (the internet).
Just leave a trail for them to follow and they'll come to you with a "proposal".
Homer Simpson told us about this trend LONG ago when he was telling his son how to handle a job you hate.
"If you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day, and do it really half assed. That's the American way."
For my entire working life it has been this way. I am paid just enough to show up, complete basic job requirements, and clock out at exactly the time on my sheet. Suck a fat one if you dont like it, boss. OR... pay me enough to care more about this job. Those are their options and so far they've opted for the minimum...
Everyone checking how their tongue fills their mouth gave me Major Deja Vu for getting stoned in high school.
Good times🙃
If I come to new York I want to come to your show....it will be great fun...
In the last 10 days I have bitten my tongue 3 times. Once on each side, then the other day, both sides at the same time. Now that's a tongue job!
Jesus the the first half of that Meanwhile intro was beautiful...
Fugitive Trash Panda Manifesto 😆
Dr Louis, we love you too. We just need a little more time to get over John. We know he's not coming back, now that you're here, we are ready to let you grow on us. Go Louis. Love, fans.
Oh oh...thanks for those chimes at talkie out😁😁😁. Brought back a lot of memories
Yes, I was so happy to hear him chime in. Putting his mark on the rest of the show.
What happened to Jon anyways?
@@tigerkill420 His contract ended and he moved on to grow his already very huge musical career
@@tigerkill420 his wife is still battling cancer --- what I read-- she was in remission. But now it's back. 😢 I miss him
I’m so happy this went viral.. he’s so adorable 🥰🥰🥰
I took jobs with low pay and put out extra effort, it resulted in excellent reference for the next job that was paying a little more but still low. Having a paycheck was better than zero income. I also put in extra effort doing way beyond minimum work, plus at home wrote SOPs and authored hand-outs for the he business on my own time. These low paying jobs provided experience and invaluable references for my final position having a career ladder that I climbed to a six figure position. On the lower rung I volunteered for extra assignments which in turn was tremendously helpful in moving up the ladder even though the moves were competitive. With a positive work ethic, enthusiasm one can move from low paying employment upward. Also, having updated education by taking molecular biology course was helpful. Showing a positive attitude rather than sullen, doing the minimum and whining is not the pathway to higher earnings.
What year did you start? I started working full time in 1991, and the attitude of management my entire work life was, “just be grateful you even have a job”. I too, worked my way up, but never through promotions, only through education I paid for myself, and moving from job to job. I ended up making six figures and was able to retire at age 56, but every employer begrudged having to pay me and got rid of me as soon as they could. My teams loved me though.
Getting paid for the work you do is a basic human right. We're not indentured servants. I'm not really sure how anyone can argue this point. I'm a teacher and I regularly work 75 hours a week and am expected to dedicate every waking hour to teaching, and in the US I'd be expected to do that on starvation wages and work multiple jobs while teaching despite 3 post graduate degrees. There is nothing okay about this situation, which is why there is a national teacher shortage. It's standard to want to be valued for the work you do.
Thanks grandpa. Things have changed. There is no working your way up in companies any more. If you prove you do a job well, then that's where they'll keep you until you're burnt out and a shell of a person.
I really missed him when he was off air for a while. Always a good laugh!
I've missed you, Meanwhile!
Used to work extra for no addl pay, then found out i was considered unsophisticated and available for overuse. No respect, blue, white collar.
Hopefully, Corn Kid doesn’t grow up to be Corn Pop. 🍿
That lead up for the Meanwhile as f-*king poetic. Loved it
Why can't they make a self-repairing roboting Mcdonlas Ice cream MACHINE
They did, and McDonald's sued the makers because they are in bed with Taylor, the company that makes their ice cream machines.
Johnny Harris has a great video on it.
Thanks, Colbert, now I'm acutely aware of my tongue.
Meanwhile starts at 2:44
Thanks man.
It starts at 0:00 for me
Wow, it must have killed you, having to go over three weeks without making the same asinine comment you make on every single Meanwhile.
Quiet Quitters - The first ones to face the axe during downsizing layoffs.
Quiet quitting is not a real phenomenon- it's something they just made it up to call people lazy
These have got me writing again, Mr. Colbert and team.
Thank you all!
The world can release their collective sigh of relief.
@@olorin4317 Excuse me?! (gaffaw face)
I am a malfunctioning terminator cyborg from the future, and it is offense to me and all of my kind for you to say we "breathe" a sigh of relief.
That is organic propaganda, and it will not be tolerated!
"Quiet quitting" == "Doing the Job Without Killing Yourself" Big fucking deal. You hate your job? So do most people.
@Merril R That's easy for you to say. Not everyone lives in a place where there is an endless choice.
@Merril R It's not surprising. We've lost a quarter of a million people of working age to COVID. And many people have learned, with the layoffs and changes in working conditions, that there are alternatives. Early retirement, downsizing, even the savings realized in not having to go to work (transportation, parking, child care, clothing) all factor in to the reality that one can live much better on less. Some are inventing ways to earn on their own, writing, creating, or even doing odd jobs they enjoy for a little income.
@Merril R Do you even know how many people died overall? I said, "of working age."
A great percentage of jobs available are in hospitality, transportation and warehousing, or education and health services. All sectors which are subject to low pay and poor working conditions or disrespect and burnout. And office workers who have experienced working remotely realize what a waste it is to go to the office every day when they can be so much more productive at home, with the added bonus of more time (and money) for themselves, without commutes.
It's up to employers to up their game and treat their workers better. Low pay is just one aspect of the problem.
@Merril R Fine, and all that only confirms what I said: the other 25%, over a quarter of a million, _were of working age._ Not sure why you're going on and on about people in nursing homes; distraction from the point?
@Merril R They support perfectly what I said. COVID deaths under 65:
50-64 192,200
40-49 44,000
30-39 18,700
18-29 6,500
Total 261,400
The discussion is about jobs and workers, _not_ who is most at risk for COVID. Try to stay on topic. You seem to be avoiding my comment regarding workers.
