If Quiet Quitting Results in Reduced Production – A Big ‘IF’ – Then It Was Production That Never Was Paid For
Since my comment on LinkedIn about David Westin’s sub-par coverage of Quiet Quitting on Bloomberg Television, I am pleased to observe that he has lifted the bar to his normal high standard. Even articles on Bloomberg’s website with titles ostensibly indicating opposition to the trend on deeper reading point at all of the reasons forContinue reading “If Quiet Quitting Results in Reduced Production – A Big ‘IF’ – Then It Was Production That Never Was Paid For”
Quiet Quitting, Quiet Firing and Loud Quitting: Explainers
Quiet Quitting – An employee doing what they are paid to do to the best of their ability, but doing no more. At its basis this is about a worker setting boundaries to not be exploited by an employer and is thus a rejection of Extreme capitalism that assumes an employee will accept any andContinue reading “Quiet Quitting, Quiet Firing and Loud Quitting: Explainers”
Quiet Quitting
Quiet quitting – the term – is a misnomer. Most assume that it is about quitting on a job. It is not. It is about quitting, or refusing to participate, in a system that has progressively become unsustainable because it is unfulfilling and unhealthy to those within it. Extreme capitalism is what is being quit!Continue reading “Quiet Quitting”
Compassion Culture Benefits All Stakeholders Including Shareholders
Why is a compassion culture better for all stakeholders in capitalist societies including shareholders? Besides the threat of unheralded injury claims from toxic workplaces that put businesses in jeopardy (as I explained in “The Great Reset At Work“)… it is my thesis that a great deal of work done by white collar workers is ‘justContinue reading “Compassion Culture Benefits All Stakeholders Including Shareholders”
The Great Reset: The concept and the passion
In “The Great Reset: An explainer” I gave a brief description of the political and economic backdrop that led to humanity entering the pandemic at a moment of social extreme with a paradigm shift due or even overdue. I explained that trends in society tend to occur in cycles that can be conceptualised as aContinue reading “The Great Reset: The concept and the passion”
To Reset To a Compassion Culture A New Global Formal Greeting Is Necessary
In organisational and formal social culture, nothing speaks more to an imperialist white-supremecist patriarchal system based on domination than the handshake. There is so much social expectation and perception associated with the handshake. Virtuallly every person living in a western nation has had the feeling of having their hand twisted into a more passive positionContinue reading “To Reset To a Compassion Culture A New Global Formal Greeting Is Necessary”
The Great Resignation In The Context Of The Great Reset
At this point in the Great Reset era we have heard most about the Great Resignation (or Great Reshuffle) which is unsurprising as businesses wonder aloud why they are finding it challenging to retain their workers and how to attract talented workers. Some employers are even sceptical, and have suggested workers may regret their actions,Continue reading “The Great Resignation In The Context Of The Great Reset”
The Great Reset: An explainer
After walking amongst humanity for a while, cycles beyond the seasons or clothing and hairstyles become noticeable. These cycles are noticeable also in political beliefs, and although that can seem boring to understand, it’s important because the political system affects all of us. Perhaps the most important political cycle that affects everyone is the balanceContinue reading “The Great Reset: An explainer”
In The Great Reset Era Successful Leaders Focus On Wellbeing And Authentic Connection
The underlying premise of what many say here at LinkedIn – especially those employed in the corporate wellness sector, either embedded in organisations or as external consultants – is that addressing wellness is good for the bottom line. While I recognise the accuracy of this statement, I find it confronting. Since work culture is aContinue reading “In The Great Reset Era Successful Leaders Focus On Wellbeing And Authentic Connection”
