Employee doesn't show up for work for 3 weeks straight, all they get is a polite call asking them to return: 'Sounds like a pretty chill place to work'

You've heard of quiet quitting. But what happens when you just stop showing up altogether?

Maybe you've been tempted by the idea of quiet quitting. For those unfamiliar, it's the idea that you put in the barest minimum of effort at work- just enough to stay employed and nothing beyond that. Folks in different businesses have varying levels of success with it. Some jobs just don't notice when you're not doing your job. Others would notice the second you start slacking off. The fairness of this idea is hard to examine. When so many people are vastly underpaid for back-breaking work, you could feel a little guilty for collecting a paycheck for doing nothing. But that didn't stop this worker. What happened here baffled the community she shared it with. They weren't sure how she was staying employed with that kind of work ethic. Some celebrated her triumphs while others questioned it. It's never easy to find a job that works for you. Lots of jobs come with sacrifices- stuff you're willing to put up with to remain employed. Every job has something like that that you're trading in on. Would you feel motivated if you knew nobody was around to check on you? Or would your productivity slowly drop, knowing that you're not likely to face any consequences for it? Those are the questions that came up in this story, where an employee simply stopped going to work. She didn't know what was going to happen if she continued that way, but she was willing to risk it to find out.
