We should replace "Quiet Quitting" with "Acting your wage".

@codepo8 In #Germany we call this: "Fulfilling one's contract terms" and it's expected and normal!- NOONE here works without pay! In fact any decent employer will discourage overtime to avoid having to pay for it [or at the very least, compensate for it with paid time off]...

@kkarhan Many have unpaid overtime written into their contracts. So yes, in Germany people do work without pay, while companies avoid to pay for overtime. Also many have to do hours that never appear in any book. "Working to rule" is very often frowned upon. @codepo8

@wortezimmer @codepo8 that depends on the precise contracts, but generally overtime is capped, needs approval and has to either be paid out or compensated with paid time off.- Only high managment positions.don't compensate >20% overtime…Any decent employer will compensate for it. In fact the regulations re: recording working hours got tightened not so long ago...Also unions here actually function…

@wortezimmer @kkarhan @codepo8 second that. Clearly a straight dude. In my experienced you either bend over backwards and quietly do what you are told or you get replaced. Contract is one thing and reality is another.
