You have a job from which you'd have to do something absolutely mental to get sacked, probably an index linked pension, regular pay rises? That's life in the PS I'm afraid, there's no will to sort it out as most of your superiors are out of their depth and don't want things to change! Everyone can't get a promotion without some sort of effort or talent, the public have a right to a decent level of efficient service from the people who they pay. If you don't like it, leave and follow your dreams! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t do any worse than those already sitting. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Just quit and give someone else who does give a damn the opportunities you are shunning. Most peoples bosses earn more than them. Get over it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 There are a good number of people who are anecdotally 'quiet quitting' life on the Isle of Man. I know of a few who are searching for opportunities elsewhere (UK and overseas) but haven't quite found what they're looking for yet, so for now they just make do with life on the rock.

The problem is that after 6 months literally nobody gives a damn. Any form of motivation, independent thought, or proactivity has been totally sucked out of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t buy into this idea that you can’t do anything because all this stuff has been sucked out of you. If you’re worth your salt you would get over it. I wouldn’t employ someone looking for a job who had this whinging “ poor me “ attitude. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re also wrong, you can help yourself, you’re just choosing not to. Stop selling yourself out. Grab some dignity, resign and, do something that brings you joy instead even if the ‘benefits’ aren’t so good. Find someone to talk to about how you’re feeling. You sound really miserable. Sorry, totally not miserable and probably did not word my statement the best. Was trying to make a point. Badly i think. Rotten fruit placed next to good fruit will eventually turn it rotten too... My point being, in the department i work in the level of managment is mind blowingly crap.....................

(Well, not gold, but handcuffs all the same). I was mortgaged up to the hilt too, which didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a sad sack, get a job as a taxi driver, bar manager, shit compliance officer, hospital radio DJ or fail at running a coffee shop business for a bit then go for MHK then quiet quit all you like, works for most. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliX Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Working hard used to near enough guarantee access to luxuries. Now that's only true for the top 10% or so, and for many, working hard doesn't even cover the necessities. It's no wonder people are getting demotivated. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
