    See? There’s that slave mentality again

    “Master won’t like you unless you work harder!”

        That mentality only works if you believe your job is the only way you can achieve anything in life.

            What you call “quiet quitting” IS putting in the work. You even said it yourself - it’s doing exactly what is expected of you.

            What you call “showing initiative” is allowing yourself to be ruled by the whims of a wannabe master. If they wanted you to do more, they should have put that in the job description. And if there’s still work to be done, they should have hired another person. 1 can’t do the work of 2.

                don’t complain you’re not offered the same opportunities

                Citation needed for this alleged complaining

                Also - don’t make me laugh by comparing sucking up to your employer to genuine self improvement.

                Like I already said - I do have initiative. Pointless busywork just to kiss ass is not showing initiative. It’s showing compliance.
