NSW New South Walesing very hard here (everyone lining up against the prospect of housing being built, with crocodile tears about affordability)

“Quiet quitting” isn’t a real thing, it’s the product of an emotional disorder experienced by managers, where they have a vague unexplainable suspicion that their team members are terrible even when they’re producing superb work. Any company concerned about quiet quitting in their workforce can completely eliminate the phenomenon by clearing out their middle management ranks. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/work/2024/04/25/quiet-quitters-test-employers-even-more-than-staff-departures/

@jpm @NewtonMark we got told we had to do "less with less".

The only problem is our workload is tightly linked to regulatory requirements, so it became a question of "Sure, which conditions of our regulatory approvals would you like us to deliberately fail to comply with? Bearing in mind that 'wilful non-compliance' may attract criminal prosecution..."

It turned out "less with less" meant "do the same workload, but fire 20% of the staff and farm the work out to external consultants at twice the hourly rate".

And some C-level got a bonus for that. 😡
