Bare effort mondays? Quiet quitting?

It seems like Gen-Z has come up with terms that describe basic human behaviour, and the media is running with it as some shocking new phenomena. Half assing it at your job is not a new thing.

>It seems like Gen-Z has come up with terms

Media propagandists serving the capitalist class invented those terms, not Gen Z. Zoomers are not in power anywhere.

>Half assing it at your job is not a new thing.

It's not "half assing" but rather "acting your wage" aka being aware enough to realize you're not paid enough to put yourself in danger or lose sleep over some bullshit when you're barely paid enough to survive.

You don't have to be "in power" to coin terms. Teenagers on TikTok come up with more cultural commentary and introduce more new verbiage and lingo than the US Senate.

These terms did not originate organically. They get invented by "HR consultants", think tanks, C-suite pundits, etc. then pushed heavily by corporate media. It's basic astroturfing.
