We need an old school recession (link). Have you heard of quiet quitting? Back in the day, we just called this being a loser....

Everyone is talking about ‘quiet quitting,’ but it may be a bad idea

The "quiet quitting" trend has taken off on TikTok. Rather than quit outright, workers are giving up on going above and beyond. Here are the pitfalls.

This is what a demoralized society looks like. And it’s only just starting.

This is exactly what capitalism breeds. It crushes good people while bad people flourish.

There is the /anti-work thread on Reddit where kids making $25/hour talk about purposefully doing shitty work and being lazy on the job because “shitty pay = shitty work”

Used to be you took a shitty job and busted your ass to get promoted. Guess not anymore. Society is either fucked or a lot of kids are in for a rude awakening. Not sure which one yet.

Well I hope and pray like most of social media that it represents a small % of the people.

But I do believe that this younger generation is total fucked unless they get their act together.

I have 2 daughters in this demo and I always tell them that they can lap the field of their peers by showing up and working hard. Good thing they haven't developed crappy habits.

$25/hour is better than anyone in my family made until well into the 1990's. Just a little OT and some bennies and thats over $55,000/year. That isn't bad at all starting out in life.

There are literally millions of Americans, many of them well educated, who bust their ass for $25 an hour. Depending on where you live, that is a decent living, though much less so lately thanks to bidinflation.

Yeah that thread will really piss you off. Bidenflation has everyone making more money and Covid exasperated a mismatch in job skills needed and job openings.

The result is kids making $20-25 an hour to work, do a shitty job, but its hard to fire them because small businesses need their help to stay open.

Seems kin to socialism to me. The country desperately needs a recession to get people “needing” to work again.

Nope. Destroying the meritorious nature of capitalism allows bad people to flourish.
