re: Quiet Quitting? Well that a new term.

I’ve said it many times in this thread.

It’s not the point. You don’t quit just because you lack optimal conditions. That’s what y’all don’t get.

You also don’t get that the people below median, particularly in the later boomer years, had it far harder than any of the hard legs posting here. Yet you blame us for your troubles.

So quit. Again. Why would I care?

You still do not understand the meaning of quit in the context of this thread. lmaoo.

You have some data to back up this claim? Or is this more feelings overs facts?

Typical entitled boomer posting nothing but feels. Sad!

I thought the problem was related to hardware, namely, that the program was wired to a single sensor. There was no redundancy or second source verification.

This may be semantics, because both are engineering fails.

That said, I’d rather an outsourced Indian engineer than an entitled quiet quitter.

Not everyone values working their arse off to make a pile of cash. Some personalities value more work/life balance and more free time. We have been conditioned to think that material pursuits are the reason we incarnated on this planet. It’s a lie just like 90% of the other shite we were told was true growing up.

I see the pity party from the youngsters continues into the morning.

You’re wasting your time. These kids will always have an excuse for not being able to succeed. It will always be someone else’s fault and not their lazy asses.

I don’t believe any of us has really seen a difficult economic time in our lifetime but I do believe it is coming. They always said the ones who lived through the depression were the toughest.

At this point I think it is not only inevitable but necessary.

You think the bottom five percent of Boomers had it better than the median of your generation?

I need facts, not speculation and feelings.

Boomers could get a good paying middle class job with a high school diploma.

That is just not happening these days.

You can keep soying out but you had an easier time of it post war and before globalism took off.

interest rate was 14%.

Why do you disingenuous fricks never post the CD rates during that period?

quote:

The 1980s
CD Rates in the 1980s. In the 1980s, the average CD interest rate was around 12%. This was a great return on investment, especially compared to savings account rates, typically around 0.75%. As a result, CDs became increasingly popular in the 1980s as more and more people began looking for ways to invest their money.

You fricks were getting 12% on a damn CD. lmaoo.

You think the bottom five percent of Boomers had it better than the median of your generation? I guess that new math caught you, too. Y’all are like addicts in your denial.

I certainly think the bottom 5 % (assume we are talking social status or economic status) have it hard no matter the generation. Some of them will pull themselves together and thrive, perhaps even change their “station” in life. Most will not. Effort plays a part, “luck” plays a part, ability plays a part. This thread is way off the original topic. Quietly quitting, or not giving more than required when there is no reward or consequence, is a predictable response by people who feel stuck in low growth, low challenge roles. Organizations should seek to identify these situations and rectify them to both streamline operations, improve employee experiences and in the end increase productivity and profit. This is easier to envision with salaried “office drone” type roles of all flavors, but is applicable to production and service roles and really any industry.

Are you whining that you have it so much harder than the Boomer Gen?
