      From my brief infiltration of the David Loyd centres sauna via day pass as a treat all the retired trades in there were sending their kids to Dubai. That and estate agents

      87,000 people in age group 16 to 24 is around 1% of that age group. And most will be back when their gap year in Australia finishes.

      It’s ok. They’re too stupid to vote so we won’t miss ‘em innit?

      I GB News’d it

      I hate this narrative that somehow the UK is magically always the best place in the region to live. It just isn’t.

      Space is scarce, privacy is scarce, gossip and nosiness is rampant, everyone hates each other except for at Christmas, were shafted for rent prices, shafted for cost of living, I’m punished for choosing to smoke by being charged 3x what it costs only just over the sea, can’t view 18+ content without handing my identity over because enough parents couldn’t give a shit about their kids that it’s become a serious and deep seated issue that they’re exposed yet ignorant.

      I’ve been trying to figure out a way off this island for a while but now I feel trapped after over a year of getting rejected for work.

      I used to be motivated and ambitious. No way would I sacrifice the slightest bit of my happiness for Britain anymore. If it’s not the government selling the country out it’s the country itself. I’m not anti British just saying it really isn’t great for anyone who doesn’t have a well paying job, a family that sticks together or a mortgage and decent job.

      There seems to a misunderstanding from the independent what quiet quitting is here.

      For those not in the no, it’s basically working to rule, but not making a fuss about it – declining extra work requests, turn up at 9am, take exactly an hours lunch break, leaving dead on 6pm.

      Also know as (historically) healthy working, or alternative, doing what you pay me for, no more.

      So now that people know the “millionaire flight” lie didn’t happen they’re pivoting to “The younglings are leaving”. Snore.

      I will say, having experienced US tech salaries, the ones in the U.K. made my jaw drop and made me head straight back to the US for a masters’

      I don’t think that that’s what ‘quiet quitting’ means.

      I’m not young anymore, but moving to Germany before Brexit has truly been one of the best decisions I made in my life. Beyond the 40% paybump, moving here has enabled me to continue having the European options of moving around the continent to find the best life/job options for myself. I have an interview for a job in the Netherlands and a portuguese company reached out to me earlier at the end of last month and I don’t think I would have those opportunities if I was still in the UK.

      Not really quitting if they are ok shit working holiday visas, most will back within 3 years.

      This is me, in my 30’s WFH, do bare minimum (not monitored) start at 8:30am, finish about 11am, game all day or whatever else tickles my fancy.

      Its easy to fool people with a big number up front on their paycheck. Yes youll make double the amount, but will you be better off at the end of the month is the only question that matters? Oh, and you have no friends or family either.

      I read an article about junior doctors complaining there isn’t a structure in place for them to specialise, so basically no advancement and many are leaving for Australia which has better working conditions and career advancement.

      I dread to think what will happen to speciality doctors in ten years time if not enough people are getting the time and training to replace the existing cohorts.

      In the US it was horribly misinterpreted and villified and may be part of our “outsourcing” push in recent years.

    15. Otherwise-Handle-180 on

      The media has such a way of butchering words. First the grossly misused trolling and now they’re getting quiet quitting completely wrong

    16. ScaryEmployer on

      well no shit, the UK is a gerontocracy, theres not much for young people to feel at home here

    17. Annual_History_796 on

      Leaving the country isn’t the same as quiet quitting. What a weird use of the phrase.

      It’s not always greener in the other side. Let them go – 95% of them will be back in less than 3 years

      I read about someone moved to Japan? Well I wish him good luck for the suppressive culture that even I, as an ethnic Chinese, don’t get used to. And the effective tax rates in Japan are actually higher than Britain.

      I’ve moved around a lot so far. I left the UK because I could stomach being raped by the tax man when I was working 80-89 hours over 6 years for weeks on end. I worked hard, and I wasn’t happy with the tax man taking it from me.

      I just go wherever is best for taxes. Currently I’m in the Netherlands which has a perk where you get 30% of your income tax free as a foreigner, for the first so many years. Once that expires I’ll go somewhere else, I refuse to come back to the UK and work double the hours of most other people just to have to give away half my wages. Not a chance I’m doing that.

      Helen Coffey doesn’t know what ‘quiet quitting’ means.

    22. Comfortable-Place237 on

      Was this article written by AI? Wtf does quiet quitting have to do with leaving the UK?

      I don’t know what counts as young, but I’m in my 30’s and left for greener pastures. To answer the headline, yes 100% better.
