The Guardian reports that: "Tired, overworked, burnt-out working-class people are taking back their agency and refusing jobs and working conditions that are unsuitable for us."

Here's more info on the reality behind a lazy girl job:
@gabrielle_judge I love how i called out lazy girl jobs. A mindset where you take a loss stress career path and focus on work life balance because these jobs arent leading to a great career path anyways so why not just focus on yourself. And then everyones like theres no future in those jobs why are you suggesting such poor career advice. And its like exactly. These careers are stupid and were not opting into this game anymore. Why are we expected to prioritize such a pointless job? Of course we will eventually get angry and disengage at work. #careerswitch #corporateburnout #unemployed ♬ original sound - Gabrielle👸🏻
@gabrielle_judge A lazy girl job is a mindset geared towards work life balance. There is so much pressure to stay busy and do busy work. The anti work movement is about something way bigger than being “lazy”. Employees are disengaged, used and not sold on the hustle culture anymore. #jobtok #careerswitch #4dayworkweek #quietquittingmyjob ♬ Lazy Girl (Dolce Far Niente) - Girls' Generation
@gabrielle_judge The lazy girl job trend is about focusing on what matters. Employers use gimmacks to get you to care about a job that doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things. Its not about being lazy at work and not doing your job. Its about being lazy compared to the hustle culture america loves so much. You can have work life balance and still have career success. #corporatejob #toxicworkplace #overworkedunderpaid ♬ woo sped up - xxtristanxo
