Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Quiet quitting became super easy once I started working remotely.

@wxq, seems like you are a great individual. would be great if you can convince ELT to give up all of their pay and while we are at that would be great if you can ask Intel for further 50% pay reduction for you and set an example for everyone.

Don't quiet quit, if you're really not happy about something, be a man and quit outright.
Quiet quitters are a bunch of entitled snowflakes, probably incels as well.

is spending 25+ percent of one's day going to DEI related meetings and events considered "quiet quitting"? even if I forego the company-provided lunch? what about taking extra time off in the name of "Equity"?

Drink some more Kool-Aid.

Humans weren't designed to be leaches, sucking the blood and life out of their fellow human beings.

Get up, make your bed, go to work and start taking some responsibility for yourself. After that volunteer and help others.

This is what separates human beings from parasites.

I wouldn’t quite call it quiet quitting, but I’m not pushing aggressively like I was to start the year.

It's not just about me and my dream of doing nothing. It's about all of us. I don't know what happened to me at that hypnotherapist and, I don't know, maybe it was just shock and it's wearing off now, but when I saw that fat man keel over and die - Michael, we don't have a lot of time on this earth! We weren't meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in cubicles on Microsoft Teams staring at computer screens all day, filling out QEFs and listening to eight different GLs drone on about IFS.

Everybody know socialism has failed every time throughout the course of history. It was tried in America when the Pilgrims across. Look up 'commonwealths'. Anyway, they would create common stores of food and other resources. What do you think happened? People stopped worked and helped themselves to the goods. In the end it failed. Even worse, when you put a large powerful and corrupt government in charge the outcome is even worse. So, Capitalism isn't without flaws, but compared to any other system it is by far the best at helping those on the bottom rung work their way up.

I have to laugh at these weird ar-e trolly posts on a layoff rumor site.

@vcf, then you leave the company not stay and steal. Someone else's bad ethical decisions don't entitle you to make unethical decisions. It is amazing how you have convinced yourself that it is OK to be such a pathetic l0ser.

Quiet quitters push their work off on others. It is selfish and loathsome. You get a handful of quiet quitters in your team and the situation turns toxic very quickly.

Quiet quitter implies something much worse then just exercising work life balance. It means you are doing less then you are projecting to others or your boss. It implies a level of deceit and/or misdirection. Everybody already knows that.

No, exactly the opposite of what you are saying OP.

Many people believe in the strategy but what do they look forward to ? Why they should work hard ? Why they should continue to put their heart in this ? If you have extra time, by all means go ahead. If you have nothing better to do, yes please.

But company is giving no reason to not be a zombie. I would say, this is how actually create zombies and dead weight. You cant just fire your way out of this. At the end of this, there will be too many zombies to fire.

Quiet quitting isn’t unethical you silly person. Why would I work beyond what is in my job description if doing so no longer nets me anything? Before you go off on some nonsense diatribe about me being lazy, let me tell you that for damn. Eat the last 20 years I’ve put in 70 hour weeks, taken on any project thrown my way, have never gotten less than an EE on my perf reviews and consistently supported BUs outside of my own. I no longer feel like the sacrifices I have made are rewarded adequately, and I will now only exert enough to ensure my scheduled projects cross the finish line. Doing anything more is no longer in scope. Quiet quitting f is setting the healthy boundaries that I should have over a decade ago. Unethical? Intel demanding more while supporting less is unethical.
