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?
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.
Every measly raise I've ever gotten, comes with a warning that the company doesn't want us discussing wages. I feel like a lot don't see that as the red flag that that is, and are only concerned about themselves in that matter. I've always ran to blab to my coworkers make sure we're all in it together for equal pay
It's illegal to ask you not to discuss wages in the United States. Violation of federal labor law.
