851 - The Abuse of Quiet Firing

Gregg Clunis
About this episode

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."
