A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Well that’s completely fucked. That’s also illegal.

Exactly. But a little illegal activity never stopped a corp. Wage theft is rampant, estimated at $50 billion a year.

I don’t work for free.

And that's called quiet quitting in OP's post.

I said this in another thread, but I’m not criticizing quiet quitting. I’m criticizing the managers’ response to it. If your employees are meeting expectations but unhappy, you should try to improve their work life, not shrug your shoulders because you don’t have a reason to fire them.
