Some theorists compare modern forms of work culture, especially in Silicon Valley, to a religion in their attempts to instill people with passion and meaning. Workers are told that if they “do what they love,” work should never feel like a burden. Ironically, the drive to hyperproductivity that some argue is a central feature of capitalism is at an all-time high. The recent wave of quiet quitting comes from a deeper, more long-term disengagement with stressful work environments, unfulfilling roles and, despite recent wage hikes, the inability of paychecks to keep up with the cost-of-living crisis for many working and middle-class families.
Instead, workers refuse to hustle in the workplace, especially since going “above and beyond” often means working for free. The phrase is a bit misleading, as one does not quit one’s job. More recently, the trend of “quiet quitting,” or doing only what one is paid for, has blown up on social media. Since the pandemic, more Americans than ever have been asking that same question.ĭuring what some have termed the “Great Resignation,” many Americans changed careers, quit bad jobs or refocused on life away from work. As someone who has researched and taught world literature and cinema for over a decade, I believe some of the most fascinating movies make viewers ask, “What if all that hard work isn’t really worth it?”
