re: Quiet Quitting? Well that a new term.

Wow…. You are better than this bud….. a large majority of people born after 1995 would have a very tough time surviving in the 60’s and 70’s.

You mean when one household income was comfortable living for most Americans?


You mean before all of the manufacturing was sent out of the country?


You mean when anyone with a pulse could get a middle class job without any college education?


I'm sure a lot of people dream of the 60s and 70s employment market and living costs.

This term right here. You are paid what you are worth.

Don’t like it? Well try harder loser.

And this is why people are quitting so much now. This attitude is the issue. Not people that want to be paid fairly. You want people to stop quitting? Pay them more or do the work yourself. Those are literally the only solutions.

You really think that’s new, dumbass?

Companies don't promote or train anymore. Their first instinct is to bring someone in with the exact same skills as the guy who left.

Why in the frick are y’all so obsessed with someone doing something for you?

Nobody “trained” me. I watched and learned.

This IS the problem. If you want a company to give you more than a paycheck, you will be a quiet quitter. (We could omit quiet.)

If you want to be valuable, make yourself valuable. Then another company wants you.

Jesus. Get your heads out of your asses. Y’all have got the worst case of craniorectal myopia I’ve ever seen.

My wife never had to work and stayed home. We also never did without anything. I could comfortable retire at 55 with the money I invested from those turnarounds.

That sucks. I'm on track to retire a lot earlier than that and I don't plan on ever working much more than 45-50 hours in a week.

It's way more expensive to replace employees than it is to retain and train from within

Which makes it hilarious when companies deny the outperformer a 10% out of cycle raise and then have to pay 25% more AND take the productivity hit when the outperformer leaves.

There is a lot of corporate idiocy out there.

But if you are enough of an outperformer to leave, so what?

I've never seen more investment in development and retention than I'm seeing right now in pretty much every organization I work with. It's way more expensive to replace employees than it is to retain and train from within, so your experience is clearly with immature or inefficient organizations. Or you're just in a high turnover industry, which often is due to the skills and education requirements of the employees.

It has to change now. Corporations have no choice, the boomers are retiring and they're taking all of their knowledge with them. That's why you're seeing it change, but those changes still occur more at the top of the corporate ladder. Make no mistake, Corporations loved the power imbalance they've been able to have over the last 3 decades, but the global economy is going to take a dive given demographic trends. The productivity, investment, and consumption goes with the boomers and now comes the painful process of getting Millennials and Gen Z involved to fill the gap the boomers never wanted to be filled.


The US is fortunate the boomers had children to make up the largest cohort in the workforce, otherwise these companies would be screwed.

Wait… is that not what we are supposed to do? What are you guys doing?!
