inReading through contest entries, the theme of silent quitting keeps popping up.
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.
