Quiet Quitting and now Resenteeism?

[odanny]

So this and "coffee badging" are two new millenial job descriptions I've never heard of until today, lets look at Resenteeism.





With workplace trends like quiet quitting and coffee badging rising, another challenge has emerged: resenteeism. This term describes employees who feel trapped in their jobs, unhappy and resentful, without seeing any better alternatives. Recognizing the early signs of resenteeism and knowing how to address them is key to re-engaging affected employees and improving retention across the board.

What is Resenteeism? Understanding Frustrated Employees in Today’s Workplace​

Resenteeism refers to employees who feel disgruntled or frustrated with their jobs, managers, or employers. They may feel underappreciated, unfairly treated, or disappointed about their work situation. However, they don’t believe they can easily quit and find a better job, so they stay put while disengaging mentally and emotionally.

Several factors have contributed to the rise of resenteeism. Concerns about a tight labor market and economic uncertainty have made employees reluctant to leave their jobs, even if they are unhappy.

Additionally, widespread layoffs across industries have eroded trust between employers and employees, weakening company loyalty. Many workers also feel frustrated with employers who did not continue the flexibility and work-life balance that became common during the pandemic.

How is Resenteeism Different from Quiet Quitting?​

Resenteeism is sometimes confused with quiet quitting in the workplace, but despite sharing similarities, both terms mean very different things.

Quiet quitters tend to silently withdraw effort and stop going above and beyond, sticking to the minimum in their job descriptions. In contrast, resentful employees may be more vocal about their discontent. They often actively dislike their jobs and can negatively impact company culture rather than simply being passively disengaged.

Examples of resenteeism include:

• complaining to coworkers about managers, pay, or company decisions
• appearing to lose interest in company goals or contributing less to team projects
• making uncharacteristic mistakes, missing deadlines, or letting the quality of work slip

Like quiet quitters, resentful employees mentally check out and stop caring about excelling in their roles. They feel trapped and stick around in jobs they dislike out of necessity rather than loyalty. Over time, their frustration can boil into toxicity and even open hostility.

Why Does Resenteeism Happen?​

Many believe that resenteeism is the latest evolution of the post-pandemic pushback against hustle culture.

It can often reflect workers prioritizing their well-being and wanting more autonomy over how, when, and where they work. When employers aren’t keeping up with these changing needs and attitudes, resentment grows.

It’s important to recognize that the problem isn’t the resentment itself. Resentment is a natural human response when employees feel their needs aren’t being met, their opinions aren’t valued, or their contributions aren’t recognized.

The real issue is the deeper disengagement driving the behavior. The solution lies in understanding and addressing the root causes.

I found that very compelling actually.
I've always been aware of that effect but didn't know anyone had done a study this deep on it.
It really deserves its own category. It's a very real thing and has an effect on everything from the quality of life to the economy in general.

I would rather class this affliction as a "my job sucks ass" condition, it probably affects most people working to widely varying degrees.

I didn't like mine either but was paid and treated too well to leave it, so I sucked it up for 29 years.

It paid off in the end. I hope these young people understand that while young, it's too late to pay off if you realize this too late.

What to Know About Coffee Badging​

May 3, 2024

A new ritual has emerged among office workers: coffee badging. This response to return-to-office mandates extends beyond a caffeine fix. By understanding the reasons behind this trend, we can better meet the changing needs of today’s workforce to create a more flexible and positive work environment.

What Is Coffee Badging?​

Coffee badging occurs when employees pop into the office for a quick hello and then vanish to work remotely for the day. It’s considered a workaround for mandatory attendance, where workers swipe their badge, exchange a few words, and then leave to work offsite. To summarize, coffee badgers are saying “no thanks” to those return-to-office rules.

What Causes Coffee Badging?​

Coffee badging reflects how workplaces are changing. Many employees now prefer to work remotely, thanks to flexible schedules and advanced technology. Both help to maintain a better work-life balance. As a result, coffee badging has emerged as a compromise that allows employees to fulfill minimal face-to-face requirements while still enjoying the benefits of remote work.

Personal Productivity​

Everyone has their ideal working environment. Some thrive in the collaborative atmosphere of the office, while others work best in the quiet of their home office. When companies mandate a return to the office without considering these preferences, employees who excel at remote work may resort to coffee badging to maintain their preferred work environment.

Commute Fatigue​

Many people grapple with the physical and mental toll of lengthy commutes. According to the US Census Bureau, the average one-way commute within the United States was 26.4 minutes in 2022. However, those numbers leap to 80 minutes per round trip in some areas like New York City.

While coffee badging doesn’t alleviate commute times, it is a form of protest for having to commute. Also, coffee-badging commuters don’t need to buy lunch or coffee drinks daily, saving around $100 per week.

Health and Safety Concerns​

The rise of remote work during the global pandemic was a game-changer, so it’s no surprise that some people still have health concerns.

We’ve all been through those office cold, flu, and COVID seasons. For employees who are immunocompromised or live with someone who is, the thought of working full-time in an office can be pretty nerve-wracking. Dashing into the workplace for a quick check-in is a form of compromise to coffee badgers that limits the number of co-workers they interact with.

I have a presence job, I have to be onsite to oversee construction, so people bitching about having to go into the office get zero sympathy from me.

Thinking you're the first person to ever be dissatisfied with your job may be the most Gen Z thing ever.

Thinking you're the first person to ever be dissatisfied with your job may be the most Gen Z thing ever.

This is 5 years old now, but funny about the GenX/Millenial/GenZ dynamics.

 

[odanny]

I have a presence job, I have to be onsite to oversee construction, so people bitching about having to go into the office get zero sympathy from me.

I never worked a day from home in 29 years, and I knew all kinds of people who barely ever showed up and did everything from home.

Hey now, don't be attacking us retirees, we put in our time.

This thread isn't about retirees, it's about people in their 20's and 30's trying to make up new names for fucking up their jobs.

Are we on Gen. Z now? I thought there was a newer iteration but perhaps they are not old enough to work yet.

No, that is Woke. Work is a means of providing for yourself and those who depend on you. One of the biggest mistakes that employers make is not explaining to employees how their jobs fit in to the organization's success. Instead, they focus solely on the tasks at hand and ignore their integral part in a larger system. This leads to reduced self-esteem, lack of respect for the work, and poor job performance.

The overall concept of work is what I said. We aren't hunter gatherers anymore able to provide for ourselves on subsidence living.

To provide for yourself and those who depend on you, you have to contribute something to society as a whole. Be it sweeping floors, being a doctor, being a soldier, or pushing paper.

I'm not talking about DEI or society being stakeholders in companies bottom line like the woke idiots are talking about.

We do something society needs and we get paid and feed/shelter/raise/protect/entertain ourselves and those who depend on us.

 

[jwoodie]

We do something society needs and we get paid

By whom?

 

[martybegan]

By whom?

By companies, or customers, or the government, who also do things society needs done.

 

[initforme]

While my job paid very well and helped me put 3 kids through college, I regret the extra effort I gave to my job. I regret the sporting events I missed. I resent many other things as well about the job. I should have worked alot less hard and done the minimum. Quiet quitting makes sense. Perfect sense.
