Sep 3, 2022 – An exploration of the term Quiet Quitting which keeps appearing in corporate propaganda articles. There is already a term for this that more correctly blames employers called Work to Rule. We explore the labor implications of such a term and some of the articles that blame employees and low end management instead of executives and the system of Capitalism.
Quiet Quitting is Work to Rule via Anarchistara
I’m not even bothering to link to any corporate media articles, on “quiet quitting”, as they mostly tend to demonize workers, for not working overtime, or taking on extra work. When I worked overtime, on a salary, I was only paid $3 per hour (minimum wage was $7.25 and still is), after 40 hours, and most of the time, it was mandatory overtime. I was expected to do the same work, as everyone else (who made $7.25 + time and a half for overtime), and manage the business at the same time (I was young, single, and dumb). I’m not going to demonize anyone for not going above and beyond without proper compensation.

Jianlong Steel Holding Company official Chen Guojun, who earned over 3 million yuan the previous year, planned to take over the majority state-owned Tonghua Iron and Steel Group. He announced plans to cut the number of workers from 30,000 down to around 5,000, with those made redundant receiving around 200 yuan in compensation. The firm was still profitable, but the planned restructuring was aimed at increasing profits further amidst a global economic downturn.
Outraged, the workers shut down production and rioted, beating Chen, blocking roads and smashing police cars to prevent police and ambulances from reaching him.
The sale was subsequently scrapped.
On this day, 24 July 2009, 3,000 steel workers in Tonghua, China rioted and beat an executive to death when threatened with privatisation and job losses.
