We should replace "Quiet Quitting" with "Acting your wage".

@codepo8

if you're not making a living wage, i guess ya gonna play dead.

@codepo8
They're the same thing, just one probably came from the depths of LinkedIn and the other is reality.

[chuckmcmanis@chaos.social]

@codepo8 Oh I like that very much.

@codepo8
A reasonable amount of work would reflect the percentage of CEO salary that you get, no?

[i_give_u_worms@beige.party]

@codepo8 yesterday's wage or the wage with our new worker costs included or the wage we think our employer is currently able to sustain given health insurance and cost pressure

Also keeping in mind how two generations of Americans have been kept unemployed so they can wait in the wings as "entry level" that isn't

@codepo8 ooh I like this. Also: 'Is this content wage-appropriate?', 'I'm afraid that is wage-restricted, you need to have your wage confirmed first.'

@codepo8 @elizayer and then we cover Blink-182 “What’s My Wage Again?”

[mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu]

@tastapod@mas.to @codepo8@toot.cafe This reminds me of a friend of my brother who loved expensive cars. Office wear was generally t-shirt and jeans, but on the days they had to meet investors he would put on a really nice suit and then take a long lunch break to go test drive a car. Because it turns out that the test drives were in fact wage-restricted, they just didn't have a great way of measuring "wage".

Holy shit!

That's amazing and will be using it from now on.

[codepitbull@chaos.social]

@TimWardCam @codepo8 that’s called a boss-move.

@kkarhan
Many have unpaid overtime written into their contracts. So yes, in Germany people do work without pay, while companies avoid to pay for overtime. Also many have to do hours that never appear in any book.

"Working to rule" is very often frowned upon.

@codepo8

[kkarhan@c.im]

@wortezimmer @codepo8 that depends on the precise contracts, but generally overtime is capped, needs approval and has to either be paid out or compensated with paid time off.

- Only high managment positions.don't compensate >20% overtime…

Any decent employer will compensate for it. In fact the regulations re: recording working hours got tightened not so long ago...

Also unions here actually function…

@kkarhan
Obviously you are living in ponyland or are working in a privileged area.

Reality for many people is very different.

[d0ppl3r@defcon.social]

@codepo8 Nice play on words that gave me a laugh

[kkarhan@c.im]

@wortezimmer @codepo8 neither.
I just tend to read my contracts...

Even a shitjob as a delivery driver did properly account my working time DOWN TO THE SECOND and paid for that...

- And I'm not gonna self-d0x just to win an argument on the internet!

Also what part of #EOD was unintelligible?

I've worked in positions where I got to see and read many contracts. I know what I've seen, and that's why this will be my last comment here.

@codepo8

[nihilistic_capybara@layer8.space]

@wortezimmer @kkarhan @codepo8 second that. Clearly a straight dude.

In my experienced you either bend over backwards and quietly do what you are told or you get replaced.

Contract is one thing and reality is another.

[ginevracat@toot.community]

@codepo8 or, as I like to call it.... surfacing problems to the correct pay grade.
