When offered a job I had left (on good terms) six or seven years earlier, I stated that I wanted to be paid hourly, not salaried. In a year and a half, I rarely worked fewer than 50 hours a week, often more. And even in the summer when we were closed on Fridays, I still worked 40+. Sometimes “salary” is not worth it.
When I was working a PacBell, one guy would nod off and fall off of his chair fairly often. Big guy, big boom. Neither he nor his manager thought it was a problem.
I was told the company was making big changes and would eliminate my job. They did, after a year and a half. Guess what i did for a year and a half. Not good mentaly. But when you need the money……..
There is a young guy at work (retail) who starts up all ready with good ideas, then a few months in he levels out, then another month or so he sinks a bit. They keep moving him to different departments. I suspect he will end up at the corporate offices eventually.
“Quiet quitting” is a term being used to make employees look lazy and ungrateful. The correct term is “working to rule” (or “working to the rule”), and it actually means, 8 hours work for 8 hours pay (a phrase I heard from my parents, both union members) and setting appropriate boundaries, such as turning off business phones and not responding to business emails during what are supposed to be an employee’s free time.

The walls were too thin in my office, they could hear snore.

Just think not wanting to work 80 hour for 40 hours of pay. Go figure.

I’ve had to do that for my sanity once or twice.

At least this time, RJ is willing to listen to Verne explain the concept of something to him.

I decided that’s pretty much what I was doing the last couple of years I taught and didn’t think it was fair to me or my students so I retired.

As long as they pretend to pay us, we’ll pretend to work.
