    Quiet quitting is our best bet. If they don’t give you decent health care and a retirement plan then we’re just doing the minimum. Why would we work harder for less in return? Maybe we can just all start our own AI business. Every American can have their very own AI automated business with passive income.

      Don’t even do the minimum. Will McDonald’s give give you half a of a cheeseburger if you only pay half? Will a bank only seize half your house if you start paying half your mortgage payment? Why would we give them half-effort for a penny less than what we’re worth?

      It’s painful and slow but more and more people are learning to live without working. Not an easy life but it’s probably going to be necessary at some point if this system is ever going to change.

      Quiet quitting is such a bizarre phrase for me as Irish. As long as we do our jobs right, we can do whatever we want. At the end of the day, a job is meant to put food on the table, not be your life. Even some of the worst companies I have worked have a laidback attitude compared to workplaces abroad.

        It’s just a trendy phrase for what has always been called worke to rule.

        Do precisely what your job description requires and not a single bit more.
