    "Quietly Quitting" The newest term hitting America, A reddit story

    The newest term to hit America due to a tiktok trend in july of 2022, "Quiet Quitting"  If you don't go above and beyond at your job, then you're a "Quiet Quitter".  if you do what is required at your job, you might be a "Quiet Quitter".  If you perform just enough not to be fired, you might be a "Quiet Quitter".   Is it wrong not to go above and beyond at work?  Just doing the job requirements and only working hours in trade of money?  Should you be shamed for working 9-5 monday through Friday.  If you don't answer that email on your vacation or take that call after hours, you might be a "Quiet Quitter". Why is this bad, after all you are not being paid for the extra effort and there's no promotion waiting at the end of the month. The definition for a "Quiet Quitter" is someone who does not endure the hustle culture and go above and beyond in the workplace (summed up).  It is a loose definition, meaning lots of loose interpretations, meaning more possibilities for a toxic workplace.  No one wants that.   In the day and age of Pandemics and culture changes, we need to learn and discuss together how to combat more Negative Changes to ourselves and those around us. Some are easily confused, but that doesn't have to be you.   Send in your stories if you know someone who is a "Quiet Quitter" or if you think you yourself is a "Quiet Quitter"  I guarantee you, it's most likely NOT your FAULT.  It's not a new concept, workplace toxicity has been known FOREVER!

    Why I Left My Job in 2022

    Work is great. No really it is.  I am grateful for the experiences and relationships I have made through my previous job.  Most employment, especially in a social related field can be very exhausting. Burnout happens very quickly and if you don't have supportive management, it's even worse.  In this episode I discuss why I left my previous employment and discuss some of the details which is personal to me. Sorry this is probably more of a downer episode.  I discuss more of my depression, bits of my thought process and what led me to decide to leave.  Here is a short spoiler, it took 3 months for me to finally decide to submit my resignation.  My hope for this episode, although basically me ranting, is to provide some insight and confidence that it is ok to quit and move on. There is never a good time and when it's a toxic environment we only get to control when we hand in our resignation. What helped me get through this before, was learning that others had experienced a toxic workplace also.  There are books and resources available and have many testimonials. It helps build the feeling that you're not crazy.  Good toxic leadership are masters of "push and pull" or "gaslighting" tactics.  And they appear like kind people, probably too kind.   I have started to paint again (cliche i know) and that for me is exciting as well as doing projects I enjoy. I have embraced a freelancer lifestyle at the moment. If you would like to have a logo or other design work made, please find me on fiverr or message me for details.

    Guest Wally_podcast the podcast_

    Wally and I met back in Highschool. We have been best friends ever since, brothers actually. This is a modest version of some of our conversations from Friday night hangouts. This time we talked about Star Wars_Mandolorian, Coca Cola, 2020, 2021, and many other topics. Oh he has a parody podcast which everyone should go over to his YouTube page and subscribe, so he will make an actual podcast! But go look at his videos they will make you laugh.

    Kids_Covid_Mental Health

    Kids are the future. Covid is destroying our mental health. Politics, lately, can cause a lot of anxiety. The multi variable issue in our world today is causing a backlash of issues on our mental health and daily routine. It’s vital we get back to a point of normalcy. Suicide is up and mental health down. We don’t have to stay this way. Find a hobby an interest, start a book club. Things that may help engage with others. We’re all in this together, not the only one dealing with it.
