Quiet quitting is crushing innovation. We need people to think outside the box, but now they’re only thinking where they’re paid to think. Which is inside the box.

@maxleibman now re-word placing the blame where it belongs.
If only thinking inside the box is valued by the employer, or rather, that’s all that’s compensated as if it has value, should we side w the employer demanding unpaid labor or the employee who demonstably can and will innovate under the right conditions and will gladly cut a fair bargain for them?
Perhaps employees are volunteering creative energy elsewhere in their lives, rather than for corps. Art, family, writing.
@AmberWavesofFlame Inagree with most of that, except the “extra time at work” point—at least for exempt employees, if expectations are otherwise being met, use extra time at work however you want. (Especially if you are both exempt AND required to be in an office).
@AmberWavesofFlame To be clear, it was a joke, meant to be in the voice of and at the expense of people who think quiet quitting is a problem. And on whose side, I am not.
@maxleibman a worldwide pandemic does much to refocus one’s priorities— not to mention, reveal who prioritizes your safety and wellbeing in turn.
For example, companies that demand I come back to the office for no reason could’ve had a bigger slice of my energy just by not asking me to sit in traffic for hours each day— doesn’t get more win-win than that. I’d at least feel much more guilty for using extra time at work to write and design a new fairytale for my daughter. 🤷♀️
