This just in: apparently those of us who perform our jobs within the description, and during the designated working time for the compensation previously agreed upon, are all “quitters” now.
Let’s run this in reverse: I walk into the office the morning before payroll is processed, and I tell my manager that I would like an additional $1000 for the same amount of work, and, if he doesn’t do so right away, he’s “quietly firing” me, in addition to being a bad boss.
If this comes across as absurd, that’s because it is. Yet, this is exactly the same logic being applied by the c-suite and most of the business press to designate people who set reasonable boundaries around work as “quitters”.
