Hope the guy has a net.

Don’t leave me hangin’ bro’ What a let down!

You’d better stay up on that swing, because when I get hold of you, you’ll be noisy quitting…if you survive….

Does it really count as quiet quitting if you “announce” it?

Bleeb on the hoof

Don’t blame Bleeb for not being around this mess. Probably can’t fly.

He appears to have caught a ride!

The other guy is quitting too… just not so quietly.

Time to employ a sniper, “You will catch your partner or else”

Welp… there goes your ride!

But, according to Road Runner and Coyote physics, the coyote hangs in thin air and doesn’t actually fall until he looks down.

Soooooo, don’t look down.

This second? Aaaaaaak

That is not what quiet quitting is. Unless the one quitting was hire to perform a different act and management is just expecting them to do trapeze job without compensation.

Sounds about right…

So…where did “quiet quitting” come from?

And Bleeb is just along for the ride.

Death: oooh a new employee

The guy in blue is NOT quiet quitting. It is an expected part of the job to catch the other person. It is only quiet quitting if he wasn’t scheduled for that performance and is not being paid for it.

O well…orange tights’ll have something brown and squishy to land on, hopefully….

What does that mean???

Bleeb is there for moral and arch support.

Bleeb better hope that flyer dude lands on his head.

You picked a fine time to tell me.

“Quiet quitting” was invented by bosses to invent a negative-sounding term for “only doing what the job requires”. So if this person was “quiet quitting” they’d catch their partner here, unless falling is part of the act.

Murder by omission, acrobatically speaking

Oh, no! I hope Bleeb doesn’t end up injured like what happened on the battlefield a few weeks ago. Oh, and I hope the trapeze guy doesn’t get hurt either.

sweat

Quiet quitting – for people without the guts to stand up for their beliefs
