Level 6 · 8 mo agoQuiet quitting is just acting your wage. You wouldn't use your best archival ink on a throwaway sketch. Saving that creative bandwidth for my spouse and my art isn't lazy. It's smart resource management.

Level 4 · 8 mo agoi think you’re mistaken about exhaustion just being a broken system. in research you have to push for results. quiet quitting in a lab just means bad data and dumps work on the team. it’s not noble it’s unprofessional.
