Liz Cheney Gets Crushed In Primary & "Quiet Quitting" Is On The Rise | The Daily Show

History will be clear-- when this country needed leadership, Liz Cheney was the strongest republican and the biggest patriot. Liz didn’t lose Wyoming. Wyoming lost Liz.

"Doing the bare minimum" translates to "doing what I'm getting paid to do." Period. I take off-hours calls sometimes, but I log it on my timesheet. I once had a boss who complained about this saying it was unauthorized overtime. I replied that he authorized the overtime when he called me. If he didn't want to pay, he should have waited until morning.

First they came up with "Gig Economy" instead of just calling it "Having to get a second job because your full time job doesn't pay a living wage". Now they call workers with healthy boundaries "Quiet Quitters".

I love the audacity of that lady to try and shame a whole generation for not wanting to do work for which they aren’t compensated.

"They call it quiet quitting." It's weird how they wont even admit that they're the ones making up these terms. I have literally never seen a single gen x, millenial, or gen z person use this term. I literally heard it the first time yesterday. Jesus, we're heading towards a complete dystopia with how they keep trying to reframe perfectly normal expectations as something extreme. Like, OF COURSE, I expect to leave at the time I'm scheduled to. That's literally the whole point of scheduled hours. If you need me an hour longer regularly enough to complain about it then you'd better start scheduling and paying me for that extra hour. Otherwise I expect overtime compensation.

As someone who lives in France I can tell you quiet quitting has existed here for decades and is an integral part of the the work experience here and is completely protected under the law. The only difference here is it's not called quiet quitting. It's called a normal workplace experience.

I'm a Zillenial, and I've literally never heard of "quiet quitting" before that newsclip. What I HAVE heard of is "setting boundaries."

By that definition, every person in Germany has actually "quietly quit" their job. Somehow our economy has been doing alright.

So corporations expect employees to go the extra mile but don’t want to pay them for that extra mile. Quiet quitting sounds like a better bet!

Isn't that also called "clocking out" in work terms? There's no point in working overtime without any compensation for it. Burnout is no laughing matter.

If employers expect their employees to arrive for work on time, then employees have the right to leave work on time. Employers can’t have it both ways! It’s not an employee problem if there is more work coming in and has to be completed past 5pm. That’s an employer problem and they need to figure out how to manage any excessive work volume. That’s why they’re called, “managers”.

I'm really glad younger generations are finally realizing that employers don't own and can't control them. We'll do what we're asked during the time we're paid to be there. But as soon as the work day is over, our time is ours to do with as we please. They only get us during the time they paid for us. They're welcome to be crybabies about it if they want, that's their prerogative.

Imagine you get hired for a job, you do what you were hired to do, and people call it the BARE MINIMUM. Seriously?

If you pay your employees the bare minimum you will receive the bare minimum in labor.

Speaking as someone who works as a Civil Rights Investigator, I will say that it's impossible to do this line of work within normal work hours. I consistently work past midnight on a regular basis, but I don't receive overtime so anything I do past 5:00pm is essentially free work. Government agencies that investigate discrimination cases are severely understaffed and underfunded, so we work beyond the scope of scheduled work hours because that's the only way to make progress on the enormous backlog of discrimination complaints. Most agencies have less than 20 investigators that investigate civil rights cases for an entire state, there are hundreds of discrimination complaints filed every year, but only a handful of investigators in each state. The reason why I stay in this industry even though it's under-funded is because it is essential for enforcing equality in the U.S; otherwise there would be no accountability for discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, or other areas.

I truly respect this woman. Her principles came first. Not her job. She stood up for democracy. Thank you, Ma'am.

I could never have guessed that "quiet quitting" was a term to describe not working unpaid overtime.

Lol. The SCANDAL over "quiet quitting" and refusing to take work calls after work. America, this is called normal labour laws in Europe. your colleague sends you work stuff after hours, you just ignore and report them to HR. your boss asks you to stay for 5 more minutes, you say nope, that wasn't the deal, and leave.

I love how Trevor couldn't stop laughing at Roy's jokes...greyhound joke was epic 🤣

I love how companies are mad that people aren't working themselves to death anymore by going above and beyond their job description after those same companies took away all benefits, paid leave, pensions, retirement, and have been paying us the bare minimum for decades.
