Hey tumblr yknow the term “quiet quitting” aka shaming ppl for mentally checking out of awful workplaces?
There should also be “quiet retirement” for upper mgmt bozos who do the bare minimum and cash out. Please loudly talk about this so they shit themselves and get paranoid. xoxo thanks
A guy at my husband’s work, the guy he was brought into eventually take over for, was going to retire at the end of the year. He’s been threatening it whenever he doesn’t like his workload, which is why they hired on my husband. But now that my husband is there to help with the workload, this guy refuses to train him or let him take on any tasks (while still complaining about his workload being too much). And now he’s saying he doesn’t want to retire until the end of next year. He’s recieving social security, he owns his house, and he wants to come to work and not do any actual work and still rake in his sizeable ass paycheck. Which is stagnating my husband’s position as the bosses try to find other work for him. When my husband got hired, this guy had just gotten back from a week long vacation and immediately started bitching about being overworked and underpaid (which I can promise, he is not).
It just pisses me off that a young, hard working man like my husband has to fight tooth and nail to get paid decently for his labor so we can pay our out-of-control rent costs and keep food on the table while fucking boomers hang onto their jobs and cushy salaries while doing fuckall for actual work and also collecting social security and have a big cushy retirement to fall back on.
Definitely bringing “quiet retirement” into the lexicon
Reblogging with this great addition. I hope that guy gets what he deserves and your husband prospers.
I also just found out that my old boss, aka the guy who was notorious for getting paid to complain about meetings and not actually work, was bffs with HIS boss. They even did bff vacations together. No wonder why he survived 3 rounds of job cuts.
Fresh new sitcom idea: a spinoff of Modern Family but it’s 1536 and the dissolution of the monasteries is in full swing. The patriarch is a secret Catholic and is hiding this from his long suffering wife and children. The guilt is eating him alive but he puts a brave face on things and has a reputation for being a total lad, a real joker, a good-time guy. Spoiler alert: they’re all secretly Catholic but hiding it from the others. The family is tearing itself apart at the seams. Secrecy lurks beneath every punchline. It’s a fun-filled series of heartwarming, wacky japes, set during the reign of terror of Henry VIII.
Me: makes a post which I’m pretty pleased with, solely on a lololol level
