This has always been the way I think about it but it has been pretty satisfying watching most others come around over the last decade or so. Why would I want to work extra hard so someone else can make more money?
Historically companies have tried to incentivize workers to perform better through bonuses, profit sharing, extra time off, things like that, but now those things are either nonexistent or so meager that they might as well be. I’m not going to work an extra 10 hours every week just so I can get $500 at the end of the year. That’s not worth the effort. Boss man can call it quiet quitting and try to shame me for it all he wants but it’s not going to change anything.

Absolutely, you should just be thankful to have a job at all these days, they’re doing you a favor!
You’ll only be dead if you’re lucky.
