The GSD Dispatch: Quiet Quitting

Your ‘top performer’ just submitted the most mediocre TPS report of their career.
Your ‘culture champion’ now eats lunch alone at their desk.
And that ‘rockstar’ you promoted? They’ve updated their LinkedIn on company time.

Wake up, Captain.
Your team isn’t ‘quiet quitting’…
You failed to give them a reason to stay.

Let’s fix your leadership before they ghost you harder than a Tinder match

Lie #1: “It’s a Gen Z Problem”

• Your brain: "Kids these days don’t want to work!"

• The truth: Boomers had pensions. You offer “unlimited PTO” (that nobody takes).

• Ninja Fix: Give actual reasons to care (e.g., equity, impact, or cold hard cash).

Lie #2: “More Pizza Parties = More Engagement”

• Your move: "Let’s do a Zoom happy hour!"

• The truth: Your team would trade every free snack for one clear priority.

• Ninja Fix: Cancel 50% of meetings. Watch morale soar.

Lie #3: “They’re Just Lazy”

• Your excuse: "Nobody wants to grind anymore!"

• The truth: They’ll grind… for a mission that doesn’t suck.

• Ninja Fix: Fire the toxic VP. I’ll wait.

⚔️ GSD NINJA’S “ANTI-GHOSTING” PLAYBOOK

(No fluff. Just shit that works.)

1. The “F*ck Yes or No” Rule

• Any task/meeting/project that doesn’t get a "Fck yes!"* from 70% of the team? Kill it.

• Example: Client wanted daily standups. We replaced them with 2-sentence Slack updates. Output doubled.

2. Radical Transparency (Even When It Hurts)

• Share the ugly numbers (revenue, losses, mess-ups).

• Why? People respect truth more than toxic positivity.

3. Promote the Rebel, Not the Yes-Man

• The employee who says "This is stupid"? Put them in charge.

• The sycophant who nods at everything? Reassign them to Siberia.
