    It's classic top down business media propaganda. Make up a term that pathologizes a completely normal attitude (not wanting to do extra work for free), push out to the article purveyor class who write 1,000 op-eds on the topic, "hard news" media reports "there's this thing that everyone is talking about". All of a sudden your boss is holding meetings to address this very serious made-up problem.

      bullseye. this is the most astroturfed bullshit I’ve ever heard.

      What’s next, they're going to coin the term ‘forever shitting’?

      ‘Ive heard about this new zoomer trend on the tiktok that challenges people to shit forever, from here on out anyone spending more than 5 minutes on the toilet has minutes counted towards their lunch break’
