Quiet Quitting, Burnout, and Boundaries: Millennials VS. Hustle Culture

Burnt out? Over it? Quiet quitting isn’t a vibe—it’s a goddamn survival tactic. In this hilarious and unfiltered episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, your favorite queer trio drags toxic hustle culture through the mud and lights it on fire with a scented candle from Target.

We’re talking burnout, boundaries, and the sacred art of doing exactly what you're paid for (and not a damn thing more). From millennial trauma responses to Gen Z's refusal to answer emails after 6pm, we break down why overachieving is out and self-preservation is in.

Featuring chaotic ER stories, unsolicited career advice, and hot takes that'll make your HR manager sweat—this episode is a love letter to everyone who’s ever fake-smiled through a performance review and cried in the supply closet.

Soundbite of the week:

“You’re not quiet quitting—you’re loudly surviving in a capitalist hellscape.”

Press play, take a breath, and remember: your job is not your personality, babe.
