If "quiet quitting" was just doing the absolute bare minimum, wtf is "quiet vacationing?" Showing up to work but then spending all day in VR at a virtual beach while at your desk? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Quiet quitting was doing what you were hired to do, and not taking on stuff beyond your role. I'm guessing that quiet vacationing means you take the breaks that are in your contract, or that you sleep in your free time.

I guess I am kind of a lazy entitled bastard. Wanting to tuck my kids in at bedtime and whatnot.

I figured it was working remotely and traveling wherever you want, working in the morning and vacationing in the evening.

Oooh right, that makes sense. My job has no issues with this actually. If you end up moving somewhere (outside of the Nordics, presumably) they need to be notified for tax and insurance reasons, but if you travel abroad and bring your work with you they genuinely don't care so long as you can get your job done. Heck it even happens quite often.

Taking vacations but not telling your boss

My first thought was'disconnecting' and going fully offline while you're on vacation. No emails, no work phone, airplane mode on your personal phone, etc.

Sounds like regular vacation

I looked it up, it's when remote workers go on vacations without telling anyone.

If manager didn't know then he's bad or I'm really good.

if a remote worker goes on vacation and no one notices, are they using PTO?

Spacehooks ,

Lol
But seriously I consider it an employee benefit.

If the work is done on time, who gives a fuck.

Middle managers everywhere, being little bitches.

I still don't understand how people got "quiet quitting" so twisted, or why. The term came from businesses looking at employee behaviours and discovering leading indicators of quitting. It had nothing to do with working-to-rule, and was entirely about being able to identify that an employee had one foot out the door.

This is a really simple concept, which makes the reappropriation of the term seem purposful.
