A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

That's...definitionally not quitting, quiet or otherwise. That's literally doing the work you agreed to do when hired.
Yes, but when they hired you, they planned to overwork and exploit you. It's not fair that they can't do so!
Oh well then I feel so bad for them /s
When I started my current job they told me the position was 45 hours/week. For my salary and task load that sounded reasonable. After that 45 I am gone and they respect my boundaries, which was honestly unexpected.
I didn't name the thing
You understand why its a shitty term then.
I think "quiet quiting" specifically refers to a sliding of your norms that remain within the outlined KPIs. For example, if you usually respond to requests within the hour and the organizational requirement is within 1 business day, starting to not respond to requests until they've sat for several hours without any actual change to your workload would be very noticeable, but ultimately its still well within the required timeframe
that's not quitting
