Quiet Quitting

Samenvatting

In order to be able to do paid work, it is a condition that people also do reproductive work. Raising children, taking care of the house, running errands, taking care of the community (family, neighbours), etc. all this is also necessary work. No paid work without this so-called reproductive work. There is a lot to be said about quiet quitting, about people doing their 9 to 5 (office) job as minimally as possible, because it is so far from their "purpose". Since Corona, people are often allowed to work from home. Contrary to expectations, it appears that people can often do their work in solitude with (considerably) fewer hours at home than before in the office. Quietly dropping out, doing less paid work (Degrowth) may have more impact than contributing to even more production, material and energy consumption in an economy of infinite growth from finite resources. By increasing our reproductive work - well-being - we may be able to shape degrowth. Tilting towards a sustainable planet must be done bottom up, from our own Inner
Development Goals! Something that seems terrifying, quiet quitting, may be a starting signal of something very beautiful!
