  Sounds like a quiet quitter to me, if only he went above and beyond the expectation I’m sure he’d still be there /s

    What…what is even the problem? Managers “feel uneasy”? What?

    • Kiosade@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah why would the managers feel easy if their workers are apparently continuing to work hard up until they quit?

      Yeah. Because someone who merely “meets expectations”, you don’t know what they’re thinking. They could be plotting something and you wouldn’t know. Many employers pride themselves on thinking they know what their employees are thinking while on the clock. Meanwhile, the “quiet quitters” are the hardest to read.

    Quiet Quitter seems like such an American concept. I feel like America’s work ethic resembles Asian work ethic a lot? Nobody would complain here about someone who is fulfilling their duties without being more enthusiastic about it than necessary, or about not giving it more than they absolutely need to. It’s a job, after all.

    Obviously, in some professions you want the worker to be somewhat involved, like a caretaker or doctor or surgeon or teacher. But if they just do what is asked of them, they shouldn’t be called “quitters”… Just my two cents, I guess.

      I feel like culture is beginning to change, but there’s so much inner class warfare and competitiveness in some positions that some are blinded to the bigger picture it seems

        It’s illegal to ask you not to discuss wages in the United States. Violation of federal labor law.

  He sounds like a true believer.

  Which is the same thing, really.

  That’s my first reaction too but it could very well be that the dude can’t afford to lose his job if he’s late. I get it, I have long commutes too.

    I think it was more about checking his email while his car was in Autopilot mode as if that were a safe thing to do.

    (For anyone unclear on that, it is absolutely not a safe thing to do.)

      Ah fair enough. Yes that’s crazy, I heard of a dude who would take 20 minute naps on his commute home he didn’t even have ‘autopilot’ it was just fucking lane assist and adaptive cruise control. That’s a death waiting to happen.

  When self-driving cars finally become a reality (working reliably on any condition without constant supervision), I suspect many people would skip buying house and buy these cars instead because it’ll be so much cheaper. After work, you hop into your car and take a nap, then wake up in a diner’s parking lot. Go back to the car again after eating to sleep, and wake up in the morning already in your office’s parking lot. Basically homeless but never need to worry about cop because the car constantly moves while you’re sleeping, making circuit around the city until it finally take you back to your office’s parking lot.
