its your choice to play mother teresa, however.

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

I didn't play Mother Teresa. I walked, instead of checking out and letting everyone assume I'm doing my job. I think that's a much stronger signal than warming a chair.

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.

I imagine that you are discussing two different personal and corporate cultures with very different expectations.

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.
