That's not what "quiet quitting" is -- it's doing only the work that's specified in one's job description. Burning oneself out with workaholism without getting a big bonus for doing that doesn't seem like something worth doing to these people.Well, maybe Gen Z would have had an easier time of it were they not so enamored of "quiet quitting" in the aftermath of the Pandemic largess.It is also worth noting that many of these "I remember the good old days" folks are retired, living off their 401ks, and while they see their grocery and gas bill going up, have no idea what it's like for a Gen Z person trying to get by.
As to "pandemic largesse", only a right-winger could think that it's some enormous amount of money.
If women are supposed to be economically dependent on men, then one should not complain about a woman who wants a good deal.The amounts have changed, but the gold diggers are sadly still with us.I remember seeing a cartoon back in the 80s where a woman in an upscale singles bar asks the guy hitting on her "look, are you making $40,000 a year or am I wasting my time with you?"
Times have changed.
