I don't want to work any more than you do, but it's not my fault or management's fault that you're not doing your job when nobody's watching.

It's a choice you make to shirk the responsibility you've been paid to assume, and it affects your colleagues much more than the corporation.

edit: honesty is important. call it as you see it. if that doesnt work: join em or walk

My point is that there's a contradiction in this argument.

A work culture where everyone is held accountable is a culture of authoritarianism, blame and metrics gaming.

A work culture where everyone is expected to act like an adult and do their job even when nobody's watching with the red pen, is a work culture in which the least you can do to not get fired is exactly nothing.

Everyone can't "quiet quit" by any reasonable definition, as that amounts to doing nothing and when nothing is delivered nobody gets paid.

It does not compute.

Either the output of what you do has an impact on the bottom line or it doesn't.

Guess which one gets let go first when push comes to shove.
