Is the stuff i am responsible for done?
Demanding more comes with a price.
I will on the other hand also provide free labor if i have left over time to be on the clock. But i am choosing abd managing those projects myself from my own resourcefulness. They could interpret that as going roque but instead they affirm the benefits.
Good thing my boss is kind, open to autism and we have a mutual understanding.
Honestly this. My work still gets done and dealt with. At the end of the day, that’s what matters - if you want me to take more, pay me.
It’s much easier to search for a new job at your desk at home than an open floor office
Can I get the job of the person who comes up with these stupid phrases that could amuse me for about 5 mins
Just did this today, because I learned our departmental bonus is based on our attendance average. I don’t even mind going into work that much, because it’s a nice walk for me in the morning and evening. But if you’re gonna tie annual bonuses to it, you bet your ass I’m gonna cheese your stupid attendance metrics, because engineers are GREAT at maliciously complying to achieve stupid metrics. You pay me to solve problems for you. You do not pay me to warm a chair for you.
Not engaged or actively disengaged employees account for approximately $1.9 trillion in lost productivity nationwide, Gallup found.
Wow, 1.9 Trillion dollars sounds like a lot… until you consider that the top 15 wealthiest INDIVIDUALS in the United States are hoarding more than that.
Guess who’s making them all that money? These “quiet quitting”, “coffee badging” employees.
Rather than framing it as “lost productivity”, why not frame it as “stolen wages” or “wealth drain” instead?
Why not? Because they think it makes these corporate fuckers more money even though they would probably make a lot more if they actually took care of their people.
If they want their precious $1.9 trillion they can start by giving me a more engaging job to do.
Because pay and promotions are in no way tied to your effort or productivity?
It comes out to how well you can present yourself in an interview for the next job. Your performance at the current job? Honestly, it doesn’t really matter that much.
Workers are tired of being used and abused, companies are offering a whole 2 weeks pto, thats a whopping 14 days out of 365, and yet they refuse to be whipping boys anymore. Heck some employers are even paying some of their health insurance, you read that right, some. Is the modern working class weak and dumb?? We think so. More on this ground breaking journalism tonight at 9 pm cst.
-THE JACKASS'@ CNBCI’ve read dumber shit on the walls of a por-a-john at a Kanye west concert and thats saying something, you gotta try to be this stupid
Just a note: it should be 10 days out of about 254. Unless you’re one of the sorry souls that works every single day, in which case you have my condolences…
Edit: 10 not 14.
Ten days out of 254, since I sincerely doubt they are paying for weekends
Good catch!
- article blames employees for only doing the work they are compensated for
- first quote is a CEO, no labor leaders quoted at all in the article
- bs trillions of dollars wasted figure for workers distracted, no calculated figure for wasted trillions on out of control executive compensation
- equivocates work from home with decreased productivity when research shows trends in the opposite direction and people would leave if return to office is required, meaning your most effective employees who can find employment elsewhere will leave
Thanks for nothing CNBC
edit: CNBC’s parent company Comcast owns commercial properties, I have to consider this article is at least in part influenced by the decreased commercial property value to be so blatantly anti labor
“Employees have become accustomed to the flexibility of working from home and may only come to the office when absolutely necessary,” said David Satterwhite, CEO of Chronus,
why the chicken fried fuck would anyone go to the office if it’s NOT “absolutely necessary”?? for fun? go fuck yourself, CEO of chronus

Less interested in work - lmfao, No.
Less interested in toxic environments
Less interested in less and less pay
Less interested in non-growth
Less interested in the bullshit.

The CEO of our company bought a fucking island. A motherfucking island, dude. We got a big fat 1% raise. Tell me how motivated I am. Tell me how fucking motivated I should be.
Fuck outta here
Devil’s advocate: You can get an island for pretty cheap if you don’t care about amenities. Like, a chunk of inhospitable land on Lake Michigan that can only be accessed by Kayak during the warm months is in tech bro territory.
We’re not necessarily talking about tiny, shitty islands here. For example, the founder of Oracle bought 98% of Lana’i, Hawaii.
It really is inequality run amok.
The question is, how much can they truly defend?
Sure, a few derps they already pay would stay and defend them, but how many are we really talking? How many will stand against the turning tide of just and equitable voices?
Eat the rich
Having an 8-mile-wide moat separating it from the next closest Hawaiian island (let alone North America or Asia) is a pretty good start, unfortunately.
When I think of things with little ROI, an island would be one of them. So at least there’s that.
The solace is that their island will likely be swallowed by the sea in fairly short order.
Precisely
1% motivated
With inflation that’s -11% motivated.
Not really this year. Its been slowed down immensely in the last few months especially.
I used to have anxiety about not working hard enough or being perceived as a slacker. I now live by advice I received from my father (who was very successful in his career): “if you can get by doing 85%, maybe only give 85%.”
What’s the complaint here? Showing up for the community aspect everyone was crying about and then going home to work for the rest of the day is not enough to earn the bare minimum wages everyone is offering?
These weirdos want working to be a religious dedication, life is not all about work
