some people don’t want to climb the corporate ladder, even if they used to.

some people don’t want to go “above and beyond.”

some people want less responsibility, not more.

some people want to do the job they were hired to do and be done.

there is *nothing* wrong with this.

we need to normalize language like this. you don’t have to work 90 hours a week to be “dedicated.” you don’t have to love your job. you CAN be in it just for the paycheck. that’s literally what a job is: payment for services.

this rhetoric of “what success looks like” is a falsity we have been tricked into believing to maximize corporate profits. success looks different depending on who and when you ask… sometimes success is getting up in the morning, and sometimes it’s getting promoted. it’s all relative, and we need to remember that.

@triciakickssaas Agreed. I was annoyed at the term quiet quitting being applied to workers who were resetting boundaries to work the hours they are actually paid.

Many years a co-worker who regularly worked 50 hour weeks told me he was giving himself a raise by only working the contracted 37.5 hrs. Strange thing happened…his productivity increased and he was happier!

@cpsask @triciakickssaas exactly. Going above and beyond is not the norm. Anyone not over performing are not slacking.
