Bosses have brought everyone kicking and screaming back to the office and have had the horrifying realization that they too have to start actually working again
Reminds me of the stock market where no one really knows what's going on, but when people leave we run headlines about "MASS EXODUS!!!" and if people don't leave we run headlines about "NO ONE IS QUITTING!!!"
Can’t they just say what they mean with these headlines? “Bosses frustrated workers not prostrated, groveling for privilege of working for whatever shitty wage is offered”
First it's "nobody wants to work", then, "quiet quitting", now "nobody will quit!". Can't tell if they are serious, trolling, or trying to steer some narrative. I can't with these rags anymore....Folks wonder why I don't read the news....
Are these the same people who are telling us that we're ruining our savings by spending too much money but also ruining the economy by not spending enough money?
CEOs and other business leaders are the whiniest most entitled people on the planet. They're so whiny that I'm convinced that if they ever got everything their own way, so they'd have nothing to whine about, they'd find a way to whine about having nothing to whine about.
This reminds me of teen pregnancies. 'Too many!' Now it's 'Make the teens have babies!' Basically, for the bosses. Too many babies means high taxes. Not enough means high wages. The poor, poor bosses. Can never catch a break.
All the tricks that certain sectors used to make money by fucking people over are no longer working because these dunderheads cant comprehend that peoples behavior has changed, hence all the headlines. When distressed, the rich cry for a columnist to make sense of a world they no longer understand.
They want people to quit so they won't have to pay severance/unemployment from laying them off to hire someone who will work cheaper/replace them with AI
I'm more or less certain at this point that they don't care at all if young people work or don't work. What they want is young attractive people who are desperate and can be abused by old bosses. Whether the young people are employed or not is immaterial to what they actually want.
nah, due to their unhealthy diets and poor exercise, even their organs are worthless, best we're gonna get out of them is to just throw the whole batch in the wood chipper and use them for compost
on the contrary: they can afford healthy diets and time to exercise (and literally purchases motivation to do so, in the form of personal trainers). the poor are those with shitty diets and bodies.
the exact reason we should not eat the rich. all those accumulated things need to be broken down, after which we can use them to grow delicious things with better nutrients than stuff shipped cross-continent to stores. compost the rich!!!
these damn kids, everyone wants to work anymore. some of them even have 2 or 3 jobs because they love working so much. they're hoarding all of the jobs.
Do these people ever stop whining, or blaming employees for their failures? "Please pay me millions and millions of dollars a year to give interviews about how I'm a helpless victim of the people who work for me (or don't), tyvm."
Hmm. There are companies like my day workplace who are going on about labor hours when we still don't have *enough* people to run the place efficiently. My poor manager had to open my side all alone today, as both I and the early morning shifter are off. Everyone regularly talks about jumping ship…
Oh I know what to do, make them work from home, once they are out of the friendly and inspiring office environment, all their zest for life will drain away and they'll quit
Weird, why would companies want people to leave their employment? That's, hands down, one of the dumbest things I have read in my entire life. Much like how people work better and are more productive at home but they want them in offices. Capitalism is psychotic.

Everyone needs to chill the fuck out already.
MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MINDS!
Do the work but not get paid
It makes no sense to me
Wait... I'm a boss!
😳
do they want us to quit? do they not want us to quit? do they want to provide any value to society themselves?
Enslaved to the £$€ merry go round
The boss & the worker .. such a dysfunctional relationship
In: loud quitting
your hypothesis works in theory, but fails to stand to practice
OH! But I can take a lump sum payout of that time my employer didn't allow me to take at a 10% penalty! How fucking kind of them!
Screws things up again
Eggs are good, eggs are bad, imma eat two scrambled with cheese and live life until whatever happens happens man

...that isn't happening because wages and schedules for those workers are more sustainable
Even despite said clueless/empathy-challenged managers
Capitalism, folks
