Quiet Quitting: Sliding By
Unpaid Lunch : A Podcast About Work
10/23/23 • 51 min
Have you ever wondered what it's like to do just enough to slide by or perhaps you're already living it? This week we blow the lid off 'quiet quitting', a trend so subtle yet so pervasive that it's about time someone finally talked about it. We're also sharing some real-life tales of laundry struggles, both at home and the chaos of a functioning laundromat, and the little white lies we tell our better halves.
We then navigate the nuances of the generational gap, and how our upbringing and parental choices have shaped our perspectives towards work. We're parents now, and we've got our own unique take on work-life balance, and why nothing takes precedence over family. We simultaneously delve into the paradox of over-education, and how it often leads to job hunting frustrations. We also draw comparisons between those who skim by and those who relentlessly pursue growth and advancement, and how the movie Office Space has influenced our work philosophy.
But it's not all serious talk. We've got some lighter discussions too, like our fondness for horror content and our kids' YouTube channel. How did we manage to scare our kids with a Halloween animatronic and rack up a whopping 3.7 million views? Tune in to find out. We also delve into our favorite horror flicks, and how the generational gap plays a role in our horror choices. With a dash of sports analogies and a sprinkle of nostalgia, we guarantee there's something for everyone. So, grab a cup of coffee (or perhaps your laundry), and join us on this journey. You'll laugh, you'll relate, and who knows, you might just find the answer to avoiding the 'quiet quitting' syndrome at your workplace.
