Which is why quiet quitting is the logical thing.
Managers and business owners shouldn't take it personally that I do as little as possible and minimize the amount of labor I provide for the money I receive.
Hey, it's just business.
Which is why I fire the quiet quitters on the spot
I am so appreciative of the employment protection laws we have in Europe so I don't have to deal with managers like you.
And you do this honestly, by negotiating reduced hours for the same pay or by negotiating piecework rather than time-based pay. Right?
Like any shrewd businessman, I negotiate to receive the highest price possible for the minimum cost on my end. This is how business is done.
What does the term mean? I think the answer to your question is obvious.
What a nihilistic perspective and empty life.
If the deck is stacked against labor and in favor of the owner, become the owner. Start a business. Create things that are better. Enrich the world. Put food on the table for a few people in the process.
Be something instead of intentionally being nothing. Win.
> What a nihilistic perspective and empty life.
Equally nihilistic are owners, managers, and leaders who think they will replace developers with LLMs.
Why care about, support, defend, or help such people? Why would I do that?
Let's say the average firm has 10 workers. 90% of people are nihilists and empty lifers?
Do I want to lead a business filled with losers?
Every founder and owner is basically a money chaser and bill_joy_fanboy is the true businessman. You will not get it.
