Summary

YouTube: https://youtu.be/P3hSXxKuMek

This is a video about quiet quitting, quiet firing, and why capitalism leads to abusive relationships.  

"Quiet quitting is an application of work-to-rule, in which employees work within defined work hours and engage solely in activities within those hours. The philosophy of quiet quitting, despite the name, is not connected to quitting a job, but rather doing exactly what the job requires."   

"Definitions of quiet firing range from employers who actively make working conditions miserable  to managers who deny time, resources or opportunities to employees, thereby encouraging them to leave without dismissing them outright."

Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes, The show where in under 15 minutes I share simple ideas that make massive changes in your life and in the world at large.

0:34.0

My name is Greg Klunis and quiet quitting has been

trending a lot lately. This idea that you just do enough is massive shift in worker attitudes and

labor attitudes across the United States, moving us more to systems that already exist in Europe,

0:57.3

where work-life balance and clear boundaries between your job and your life are maintained and respected.

1:06.0

However, not everyone is happy about that, namely employers and managers,

1:12.0

because we are moving away from a system where labor and work is the only value

1:18.7

towards a system where our lives have more value than the work that those lives allow us to do.

1:26.0

And this is largely spearheaded by Gen Z.

1:30.0

They are in many ways the most progressive generation that has ever existed,

1:35.8

both in terms of societal changes that need to happen and in terms of respect for themselves.

1:42.8

However, I recently saw something online that honestly gave me chills,

1:47.3

this idea of quiet firing.

1:50.1

And it's something I think we need to talk about, because while every single article I've read about it and every video I've seen about it, equate these two as though they are the same, as though the damage done by each of them is the same I actually

2:07.2

think that that's really dangerous and I think that quiet firing is actually a

2:11.4

form of abuse.

2:13.0

So this is going to be an interesting episode.

Let's start this by talking about what quiet quitting is.
