Millennials are wasting a 1/3 of their day in laying in bed. We spoke to industry experts about how this generation habit is impacting productivity.
Nightly quit-hibernation is time theft from your employer.
They’re killing the furniture industry! Their habit for laying in bed is reducing the demand for things like dining room chairs, recliners, couches, and sofas.
Don't forget the most comfortable of all furniture; the cheapest office chair your boss could buy in volume!
Millennials attempting to kill the food industry by buying less of it. Economists baffled.
Your comment reminds me of that time The Wall Street Journal unironically told people to save money by skipping breakfast.
Sigh I grew up poor. Only got food at dinner. My family didn't qualify for free school lunch. Learned not to eat as often. Was a change when my SO wanted 3 whole meals a day.
They're already blaming Millennials for killing the real estate industry by not buying enough houses.
Millennials "quiet breathing" oxygen in the company-owned building.
This is why I would never emigrate to Mars, because the corpo-tyranny would charge for air.
After the ecological collapse, Earth will be like this too
If we follow the logic of “doing your job” = “quiet quitting” then you need to call it “quiet suffocating”.
if quiet quitting is "doing your job", then wouldn't having a normal lunch break be "quiet starving"?
I write this as I am quietly constipated.
I'm kidding, this is the loudest shit I've had in weeks. The acoustics in here are fantastic.
And you didn't record it for us?!
Just another in ASeriesOfPoorChoices
"Experts warn: Getting a living wage is bad for the economy"
Yes, the same "experts" that crashed the economy through fraud in 2008.
I'll never get over the fact that the people ruining the world economy, pushing millions/billions into poverty and thus being indrectly responsible for health issues and even deaths of countless people, got severance payments of 100+ million dollars...
Millennials being blamed/credited for an incredibly short lunch break is amazing.
It's to make any millenials that read it think that their own 60 minute lunch break is too long
And then there's me, just barely Z, office job, heading for lunch at 12 with my boss, his boss and some other colleagues, chatting about whatever (not work), eventually getting up to head back to work around 1250 because some of us have meetings at 13. My boss asks me if I want to grab a cup of coffee with him, we end up sitting in the break room for another half hour, eventually turning to work topics too.
On my timesheet, I write lunch 1200-1230 for the legal minimum 30 min break. My boss signs it. Nobody bats an eye.
Sure, I'm incredibly lucky, but I'd wager being in a unionised company in a country with fairly strong union protections (Germany) does some work too. If my boss started being a stickler for rules, I'd be talking to my union rep, and that just doesn't end well.
They're scared enough of the union that, when a round of negotiations failed to achieve the result they were hoping for and the union put out notice (as in, flyers in the break rooms) that they're considering the threat of strikes, the CEO immediately announced raises retroactively effective for the whole month, "as a show of goodwill".
Previous negotiations have also resulted in flat one-off payments even for working students. A 500€ tax-free bonus might not sound like a lot if you're making 4k+ net, but for me it was half a month of wages.
Also, I have 30 days of paid time off, on top of bank holidays and unlimited sick leave (provided I submit a doctor's note on the third consecutive day). One coworker was sick for over half a year.
Unions work.
People actually get 60 minute lunch breaks? Is that with two 15 minute paid breaks too?
My past three jobs (spanning the last 15 years) have had 60 minute paid lunches, but no official 15 minute breaks.
All these online outlets are ragebait trash. The fact that they paywall is the cherry on top
They are also carrying water for the billionaire class.
Quiet nourishing costs 30 billion a year in lost productivity. Shame, millennials
I'm Gen X and you bet your sweet bippy I quiet nourish, usually ending up eating my lunch at 10 am. And nobody could do anything to me about it because I'm in a union. I'll suck every morsel of fun or comfort out of my workday I can. Hell I might just take this new job I interviewed for which is from home and take up crochet. There's not a thing they can do. Unions are great.
Unions here require you to take 30 minute lunch breaks plus a 15 minute break between that and end of shift (for the regular 8 hour shifts)
France here: 45 min lunch break minimum legally, but it's usually 1h30 (or 2h).
I have never had that long of a break, even in grade school my lunch was 15-20min including standing in line to and from the cafeteria
some days the line moved too slow so you just didnt get to eat. also you may have lunch debt so you get your food taken away and given a cheese sandwich
How the hell, what was you served that you could both queue and eat in under 20 minutes? I remember that awkward planning one year in school when we had something like 35 minutes and everyone was raging about it, teachers includec, we just didn't had the time to queue, eat, get our books and be at class in time.
Finland here. Legally it's supposed to be at least 30 if not 45 min, and we've laws about overtime and what have you but I never got them in a single place of work and somehow the bosses just kept getting away with it.
Even somewhat large companies.
I have never worked a job in my life that I was actually afforded the protections and rights that the law required. Some I left, some just wouldn't change.
Also, do you really NEED sleep?
What about "quiet shitting"?
No. Assert yourself at work.
The most important thing is to always maintain eye contact!
I’m a big fan of “quiet walking my dog during a meeting where I don’t need to talk”
Note: This only applies to remote work
I take a whole hou- oh wait I'm unemployed
How do you put up with the constant sexual harassment from your boss?
God forbid we have lifes.
