"Employees who are loud quitting are taking actions that "directly harm the organization, undercutting its goals and opposing its leaders,“Gallup says.”
In this spirit, what have you do to sabotage or undermine your employer, and what radicalized you to take those steps?
I’ll start, I work in construction engineering and I was radicalized when the company owner made a last minute change to some of our materials to save a couple pennies on each unit, then asked me for an updated analysis right before we signed the contract.
When I gave him the analysis, surprise surprise, the change to cheaper materials had some negative downstream impacts. He called me up to yell at me, berating me and accused me of trying to intentionally sabotage his company. It didn’t matter that I had literally just run the numbers that came from his own choice and handed him the output, in his mind this was all my fault.
From that point on I figured if I’m going to be accused of sabotaging the company then I may as well do it for real.
“quiet quitting” isn’t a real thing, that’s a phrase companies use to try to coerce you to give them free labor. Quiet quitting just means “doing your job”. If they want you to do additional labor then they rightfully must pay you to do that extra work.
