It's the philosophy of doing the bare minimum of your job (and sometimes not even meeting that.)

Wait that’s called working. Why would I do extra they aren’t paying for? They want me to work for them, they pay me, that’s how capitalism works.

Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In inspired a generation of young people, particularly women, to work extra hard for no additional pay.

Well, some have taken it a step further and really not performing at all, since the unemployment rate is low and you are less likely to get fired.

If someone’s not doing their job they should be fired. That has nothing to do with solely doing the tasks you’re paid for. You’re saying bad workers are bad? Wow that’s a hot take lmao, and absolutely not a recent phenomenon

Quite quitting is bullshit, show me how many people go to work and perform more duties than they have to? Everyone in this thread is quite quitting. This is just a buzz word spun by corporations and the media to make people feel bad for not going above and beyond for no reason.

Yup I learned the hard way early in my career to not go above and beyond because you have to make personal sacrifices to do so….and you are NOT rewarded for it. Well, I was rewarded: by being laid off and then the company founders refusing to provide me with a recommendation (they just never answered any of my requests). That worked out well for me!
