Is anyone else tired of “employee engagement”?
Is anyone else tired of “employee engagement”?
I am so sick of employee engagement surveys and the resulting exercise in futility around soliciting changes that never get made. It’s honestly one of the more evil and deceitful processes that capitalism and academia have ever teamed up to create.

I feel this post so much.
Does anyone have advice for how to approach 1:1s with my manager when they ask questions like this? I am extremely burnt out. But I also struggle with not being honest about my feelings (my default is honesty and openness). I don’t want more attention from my manager. I just want to quiet quit and suck down as many paychecks as I can before I get so burnt out that I am forced to quit.
Just find one thing to lightly bitch about so they feel engaged. You can’t just say everything is fine because they know that’s bullshit.
Definitely good to have at least some complaints/critiques. A safe bet is to complain about the number of meetings you have to go to. Your manager will definitely relate, and as a side-benefit, you might get your meeting schedule lightened.
Well depends on the manager, but generally if you are quiet quitting just tell them everything’s great
In addition to what the others are saying, complain civilly otherwise you will attract their attention.
If you are totally done and want to control the timing and terms of leaving, you have to say as little as possible.
