Uncovering The Truth of Quiet Quitting in The “Do Not Dream of Labour” Gen
Quiet quitting is a phenomenon where employees disengage from their work and stop participating in company activities before leaving without giving any formal notice.

The Cost of Being Honest in A Corrupt Society
Being honest in a corrupt society can be a challenging and costly mission. From my personal experience, speaking the truth can often lead to backlash and ostracism from those who are content with the status quo. I remember an incident from my past experience when I was involved in a community project under a leader who abused his power for his own personal gain. It was a community project that was supposed to help the less fortunate, but the leader used it as an opportunity to build his own dynasty. Despite my discomfort with the situation, I felt pressure to stay silent and go along with the actions of my colleagues.…

Solusi Transportasi Mudah dan Murah di Jakarta
Beberapa teman terkecoh saat pertama kali membaca judul artikel sebelumnya (Baca juga: Life is Annoyingly Unfair). Kegelisahan serta keresahan atas artikel sebelumnya sejujurnya bukan mengenai kehidupan pribadi saya, bukan, melainkan keluh kesah saya atas sistem tata kota dan transportasi di Jakarta. Artikel khusus mengenai perjuangan saya dengan buah kegagalan yang mungkin dimaksud teman-teman (mungkin) akan saya bahas di artikel terpisah, Insyaallah. Sebagai perantau di Jakarta, mengandalkan hidup 100% terhadap transportasi publik tidaklah tepat. Ketersediaan hunian yang terjangkau jaringan transportasi publik masih terbatas jumlahnya.

Life is Annoyingly Unfair
Menginjak tiga tahun saya bekerja dan tinggal di Jakarta, ada banyak hal baik dan buruk yang pernah saya amati. Banyak yang bilang Jakarta adalah kota yang keras, tapi di sisi lain, ada pula yang menyanjung hebatnya Jakarta dalam hal tata kota serta perputaran ekonominya. Ketika masih duduk di bangku perkuliahan, cita-cita saya kala itu hanya ada dua: 1) Bisa bekerja di Jakarta atau 2) Bisa kuliah atau bekerja di luar negeri. Beberapa kali melakukan kunjungan dari Surabaya ke Jakarta, menjadikan Jakarta punya sisi menarik tersendiri bagi saya. Namun, itu sebelum saya mengenal sisi lainnya dari kota ini. Pasca lulus sarjana, rupanya, memang sudah takdir saya berlabuh dan mengadu nasib di…
