We need to talk about "quiet quitting".

Social media outlets like TikTok and Instagram have introduced this term to us so what is it? Why should we be concerned?

Quiet quitting isn't exactly resigning from your job immediately. Rather, it's mentally checking out or doing the bare minimum just to get by. No more going above and beyond at work, staying late, or taking on more responsibilities without more pay. It's this generation's rally for better work-life balance and honestly, I'm here for it.

So is this really "quiet quitting" or is it just being rational about your workload, boundaries and self-preservation?

Berkeley has vowed to do better with diversity--starting with who they hire. In fact, "applicants must write a short essay about how much they support the controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophy — actually a personal "vow" of one's enthusiasm for the tenets of critical race theory."

But this isn't being well received (shocker).

What are your thoughts on this article and how they're going about trying to achieve diversity?

Back to school: Berkeley's 'diversity vow' a depressing token of woke academia Imagine applying to a job and, as part of your application, having to write a B.S. college essay about diversity for the HR department.
