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.
Of course. I don’t fault anyone for giving the effort they are paid for. I fault them for stopping there instead of making themselves more valuable.
My point has always been there are other roles. You are not indentured. You can change.

Are you whining that you have it so much harder than the Boomer Gen?
I, personally, am doing great and have no complaints.
I am just aware enough to realize that there are real structural problems that have not been addressed.
There are 50 pages of graphs and data proving these points.

Yeah. We all had CDs. They gave them to us in 9th grade along with the “You’re Special!” ribbon.
You didn't get the complimentary Time Life homebuilding series?

These old heads can only deal in anecdotes. If they did not personally experience it, it did not happen in their smooth brains.

I’m extremely grateful for what I was given, modest as it was. I had two parents, a house, the ability to work, and siblings who’d gone to college before me.
You grew up in a two parent homeowning household and your older siblings were able to go to college and you think YOU were in the thin end of the bell curve?
Holy shite lmao

Doesnt seem like that. You sound like the typical beta milennial. You are now crying about 12% cds

In many jobs that’s what they are doing instead of giving those extra hours to a project at work. They are working on a new cert, a contract gig, a side hustle. They’ve seen that going the extra mile isn’t going to result in any real reward at their current job.

You still do not understand the meaning of quit in the context of this thread.
I think that's part of their problem. No one is saying quit your job. They're just saying there's no reward for going above and beyond.

They have deluded themselves into thinking they are special snowflakes that just worked harder and are smarter than everyone else and kids are just lazy punks these days.
It is incredible.

I had two parents. We did not have much.
I paid for my own college through work and debt.

If you call the opportunity to bust my arse a good break, and the willingness to do it, sure. But I got to college with less (materially and educationally) than nearly all my peers.

The frick I did.

You were lucky to be born into a good family.
This is true. And I’m grateful for it every day.
My daddy got up and went to work six days a week. My grandfather worked seven days a week. I’m very glad to have been given that work ethic. If you weren’t, I’m sorry for you.

You are half right in what I believe.

No, that SHOULD be the default.
Unfortunately, we started paying people to breed and the nuclear family died.
The Left started REJOICING single Moms as if it were the norm, and we started headed down the shitter.
Wanna fix the world:
Stop paying people to breed....
Start shaming birth out of wedlock....

I get that. You should work to the level you are valued and compensated.
But you shouldn’t stop there.
That’s what you are missing.
Make yourself more valuable and move to a place you are valued.

is this the norm, now?
Posted on 8/21/22 at 8:30 am to JudgeHolden
37% of “men” who are between the ages of 25 and 30 still live with their parents.
You are probably arguing with a few right now. I was out on my own at 18. When will these kids ever cut the umbilical cord?
