Despite rumors of ‘quiet quitting’ and ‘coffee badging’, people know work is work and the perfect job doesn’t exist
If you read the media, you’ll walk away with this impression: American employees are fed up. They’re doing the “bare minimum” on Mondays, “cushioning” their careers with side gigs, “rage applying” to vent their frustrations and “coffee badging” to protest return-to-office policies.
US workers are “ghost quitting” (checking out without actually leaving their jobs) and pretending to work when actually practicing “productivity theater”. They’re taking paid time off without authorization in the form of “hush trips” and “quiet vacations”. They’re suffering from “Zoom doom” and paying an “emotional labor tax”. According to the latest polls, things are so bad that they’re “quietly cracking”.
