What’s stopping me from just not showing up?
That is a form of quitting and is forbidden. Didn’t you read the sign?
Can I clock in & then just leave?
It’s technically not quitting. I’d just show up each day, clock in, then fuck off & go bowling.
They’d probably fire me, but would they still have to pay me for the time I was on the clock?
I think this is akin to quiet quitting, so I think it would be frowned upon.
I think it should be considered a new trend, call it Gutter Balling
“Quiet quitting” involves actually doing your job, but the bare minumum. It’s just not doing more than absolutely required, and in a reasonable place isn’t even a proper cause to fire someone.
