#87 - 2 Legit 2 Quit (Your Friendships)

Matt Ritter and Aaron Karo, Bleav
About this episode

One day in the late aughts, an up-and-coming corporate lawyer in New York City named Matthew Ritter just stopped going to work one day. And thus, quiet quitting was born. Since then, the term “quiet quitting” has pervaded all aspects of life, including friendship, which is where we come in. Karo and Matt discuss the telltale signs you’re being quiet quit on, and some alternatives to being a quiet quitter yourself.
