I believe that most people naturally want to work, to contribute and build in groups. They want to do it and should expect to do it with reasonable boundaries and benefits for their labor. Silent quitting is a response to ever increasingly extractive work relationships for fewer and fewer benefits and increasingly irrationally low levels of compensation.

Not sure I agree. People seem to lose sight of what the default is, and how fortunate they are.

There are many systemic problems in society, but it’s rarely your direct employer’s fault.
