Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

To be pedantic; not quite the same thing. While it does usually include hating your job, it's more about doing the absolute bare minimum required by your contract, sometimes dragging your feet as long as possible, and only doing the 9-5 -- nothing more.
Performing work to the specification of compensation while respecting my free time. Astounding that doing my job is somehow analogous to quitting if I'm not providing even more unpaid benefit to my employer by one or more metrics.
You perfectly described what I hate about the phrase. The framing is just so awfully corporate, it's almost receiving executive bonuses.
I appreciate the pedantry (not sarcasm) but really don't see the difference. That's what you do when you hate your job, is it not?
Eh, not really. I love my job, but I'm not going to put in any extra effort that isn't a part of my agreed upon and compensated job description. It's honestly one of the reasons WHY I love my job. They expect me to do my job, nothing more. They don't pull any of the stupid "we're a family" or "we want you to be part of the company culture" or "go above and beyond" bullshit.
A fair days wage for a fair days work.
It's not that hard.
