It’s weird how something like this couldn’t help people organize anonymously to form unions. When you think about it, a “silent protest” (kinda like “quiet quitting”) could potentially be more crippling for a company versus a traditional strike and picket line. Picture a bunch of executives sitting around asking each other, “where the fuck did everybody go?!”, kinda like how workers have no clue what’s going on right up until the last second when the executives finally tell everyone (usually on a Friday afternoon).

Tbf it's a lot easier to coordinate with a ton of random people than people whose lives all depend on their employment - so you get some who don't want to risk it, some who drank the Kool Aid and think unions are bad, etc
