There is this weird new corporate trend to outright DEMONIZE employees who care about getting paid: [View all]

What is "rage applying"?

It's when you are unhappy with your current job and you are
1. looking for a new job, any new job, as soon as possible, just to get out
2. looking for more money

And economic bullshit-artists love talking about "rage applying" because they can then sell their bullshit-advice to corporations that corporations shouldn't hire these kinds of people.

Corporate consultant Jenn Lim is advising companies to probe job-applicants in interviews whether they want this job for money, or whether they want it for "the right reasons".





To recap:

"quiet quitting" - when an employee does what he gets paid to do and doesn't put in extra work for free

"quiet hiring" - when the company dumps work on somebody that is not in their job-description

"career cushioning" - when an employee prepares in advance for getting laid off, by taking skill-training on the side or by keeping tabs on job-offers

"rage applying" - when you apply for a new job because you are seriously unhappy with your current job



The perfect employee does not do "quiet quitting", but works extra hours for free.
The perfect employee is ok with "quiet hiring" and does extra work for free for the promise that this is good for career-prospects.
The perfect employee does not "rage apply", but stays on the job despite being unhappy.
The perfect employee does "career cushioning"and prepares for getting backstabbed by his company.
