Which is why quiet quitting is the logical thing.

Managers and business owners shouldn't take it personally that I do as little as possible and minimize the amount of labor I provide for the money I receive.

Hey, it's just business.

The irony being that software, and developers, have often been the tool for reducing head count.

> Don't take it personal. All business want to reduce costs. As long as people cost money, they'll want to reduce people.

"Don't take it personal" does not feed the starving and does not house the unhoused. An economic system that over-indexes on profit at the expense of the vast majority of its people will eventually fail. If capitalism can't evolve to better provide opportunities for people to live while the capital-owning class continues to capture a disproportionate share of created economic value, the system will eventually break.

Some businesses want to reduce costs. Some want to tackle the challenge of using resources available in the most profitable manner, including making their employees grow to better contribute in tackling tomorrow's challenges.

A business leader board that only consider people as costs are looking at the world through sociopath lenses.
