Reading through contest entries, the theme of silent quitting keeps popping up.
It's like we're all using writing to deal with the weirdness of modern work.

Three stories mentioned silent quitting, did management ever notice?

Yeah when Coleman asked if management ever noticed, that hit home. I wrote a whole satirical company newsletter for a contest once, basically detailing my own quiet pullback from extra projects. My direct boss thought it was hilarious fiction, but the higher ups who actually caused the problem never said a word. They just missed the point completely. It's wild how you can shout something into your writing and the right people never hear it.
