First they called it “quiet quitting” Now they call it “quiet vacationing” Know what’s not quiet? How tired millennials are of BS corporate culture. We tried climbing the ladder and we still can’t buy houses or save for retirement. Agree with Peter Guse on this one. Out: Giving everything... show more

Fully agree. Boomers had pensions and could buy homes in their 20s. The rules of the game have changed. Many millennials are realizing that financial freedom is not attainable for them via the old path. Hence the shift toward fractionalized work & biz ownership.

If we can’t have financial freedom we will just take the freedom.

Meh. Feels more like entitlement. That generation worked harder, and enjoyed less, and sacrificed more. They valued owning a home, security, etc. This generation wants to travel the world, go to nonstop sporting events/concerts, and eat out or order in 15 meals/week. They choose to live better today in sacrifice for future living, not right/wrong, but the woe is me verbiage gets old imo

Genuine question: who paid for your college? I graduated with 40k of debt. Took 8 years to pay it off.

Millennial here 👋🏼 I don’t agree with this, I’ve climbed the ladder and achieved some really great success as a result of my company. I own a home, and land and have a great retirement fund. I came from literally nothing and through working with several tech companies have changed the trajectory of my family for generations.

Very well said in this post. Corporate culture died when wages stopped keeping up with the cost of living.

If employers would simply focus on results (output, not input) the whole discussion becomes moot. The problem is most companies, especially big ones, are terrible at clearly defining the objective, let alone measuring progress.

As someone who dedicated 18 years of my life to a company, only to be disregarded for external candidates in favor of fresh talent, I can definitely understand why people would be tired of giving their all and receiving nothing in return.

Maybe these companies should try "quiet appreciating" their employees instead.

I think one of the main reasons I love my corporate job is that it's Finnish. That and we have a fantastic mission, team and product. Europeans have such a healthier view of work than we do in America. Instead of 8-6, I get "non-linear" working time Instead of 10 days of vaction i get multiple weeks Instead of bottom line, they care about team longevity Instead of commuting, I'm predominately remote All we really want
