What is “Act your Wage”, Gen Z’s latest work-life trend?

About this episode

After "quiet quitting" and "conscious quitting", here’s yet another new phenomenon related to the world of work that’s growing in popularity. “Acting your wage” involves putting in a certain amount of work, that’s in proportion to your salary. In other words, no going above and beyond; no extra hours and no unattainable goals. And no additional responsibilities outside of your job description, unless your wage goes up first. Where does the movement come from? Why are people resorting to "Acting their wage"? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
