My understanding is the following: In companies, it is assumed that employees will try to reach for the promotion, getting a higher position for a higher pay. Managers have been trained to use that to push people to do more than what is strictly required of them, letting people think that's how they'll progress their career. Quiet quitter are people that simply stopped aiming for the promotion, they do what their job entail and that's it, no more trying to get more, no extra, no internal politics. They don'tgive a fuck about all this, all they wantis the paycheck and to enjoy their life away from all this non-sense.

They pinned the term quiet quitter, because this is usually the behavior of an employee that is about to quit the company for another position elsewhere, except quiet quitter don't plan on quitting.

It’s weird, for me the cat seen from behind looks like a kitten, while the reflections looks older.

I first thought that it was on purpose, the cat still feeling like a child (like we all do), seeing his old body in the mirror and not recognising himself. It felt like a statement about our minds.

Although I agree with what everyone is saying “that it make sense to compensate workers for the commute in time and money”, I’d like to nuance a little, because I think it is a bit more complicated from a moral standpoint: Imagine employer were paying for your commute and you were on the clock during it, what happen when you move to another appartment/house further from work ? Should the employer continue to pay and clock your longer commute ? It seems weird that my decision to move to another part of the city would affect my employer. The consequence would be that employer will mandate that you cannot move without their appoval or that their cost for your commute is fixed in the contract and need to be renegociable. In the end what it boils down to is not that commute should be paid for and part of the work day. What people want is better salaries and smaller hours. Then the commute doesn’t matter anymore, and stays at the expense of the worker who can therefore move wherever they want.
