Episode 293: What is Quiet Quitting?

• Scenario 1:

• Min followed her father-in-law’s advice of studying to become a medical doctor instead of pursuing her dream of large language model development. She understands that she can eventually earn a similar salary to software developers of her caliber, but is just not interested in the practice of medicine. Do you think it is okay for her to quiet quit during her residency and spend time thinking about how to further artificial intelligence? 

• Scenario 2:  

• Junko thought he got the job of a lifetime, which involves him scanning in books from the early 1700’s. The job gives great benefits like covered housing, car, and food. The only problem is that it requires him to come to a remote location where he is the sole person at the site. Do you think he can quiet quit without being caught?

• Scenario 3: 

• Seema seems to see the bright side of things regardless of the challenges thrown her way. She works 18 hours every day every other month to meet impossible deadlines. Little did she know the promotion that was within her grasps, was alas, not in her cards. Her co-worker thinks she should quiet quit. Do you agree?
