   “Act your age” is the famous phrase we know that urges individuals to   
   match their age with the corresponding maturity. But a new variation is   
   trending – “Act your wage.”

   What does this phrase mean, and what action does it inspire in its target   
   audience? Here, we will address these questions and lots more.   
      
   The New Trend   
   Recently, the trend “act your wage” burst out and gained much attention on   
   TikTok. A movement has formed from it that has spread widely across the   
   internet.   
      
   The trend is a response to and a sort of protest against poor working   
   conditions at the office. Most prominently, it is a defiance of low wages.   
   Many employees are embracing the message and implementing the culture it   
   promotes.   
      
   Low Pay, Low Performance   
   “Act your wage” means “don’t put in more work than your pay corresponds   
   to.” That is, do not exceed expectations at work. For instance, if you get   
   paid minimum wage, you shouldn’t give more than the basic performance.   
      
   The message is about setting boundaries and not being outsmarted by your   
   employers. The trend targets employers who fail to give their employees   
   the support and compensation they deserve and yet expect their staff to   
   give their best.

   Act Your Wage Workers Aren’t Difficult to Spot   
   Act Your Wage employees are pretty easy to spot. While they aren’t willing   
   to forfeit their jobs, they do not show any passion for it. They sneak out   
   of the office at any given opportunity and for as long as possible.   
      
   While at work, they spend unsupervised hours having fun on social media or   
   Netflix. They arrive at work at almost exactly opening hours and are the   
   first to leave at closing hours.   
      
   They Believe That There is No Reason to Work on Weekends   
   The trend also suggests that white-collar workers do less work and get   
   more pay, unlike their blue-collar counterparts, who do most of the work   
   and only get peanuts.   
      
   The trend’s instruction for blue-collar workers is to avoid as much work   
   as possible. Also, staff who aren’t adequately compensated at work should   
   stop working on weekends or beyond 5 p.m.   
      
   Many American Workers Are Just “Showing Up”   
   A Gallup poll has shown that Act-Your-Wagers make up a worrying fraction   
   of the nation’s workforce. The poll found that 17% of workers are   
   “actively disengaged” from work. 50% say they are just scraping by, while   
   only 33% are engaged at work.   
      
   If the trend continues, more workers might defect to the movement. That’s   
   because nonchalant work attitudes are easily infectious.

   A CEO Speaks on the Issue   
   Aaron Rubens, CEO and co-founder of online employee recognition platform   
   Kudoboard, has commented on the movement. “In the wake of layoffs or   
   hiring freezes, employees are increasingly reluctant to take on additional   
   roles beyond their designated scope,” he said.   
      
   He also said high-flying employees are scared to take on higher roles   
   because these roles lead to “further expectations without commensurate   
   rewards.”   
      
   Sarai Soto is at the Forefront of the Movement   
   A TikToker named Sarai Soto has become a leading figure in the movement.   
   She makes videos for her followers illustrating the possible scenarios   
   that could result from the new resolve.   
      
   The 30-year-old Tiktoker, in her videos, often dresses as Veronica, a   
   worker at an office. Veronica has conversations with an imaginary   
   supervisor called Susan. These videos have become popular, drawing up to   
   90 million likes on social media.   
      
   Veronica Vs. Susan   
   In the videos, Veronica and Susan engage in a back-and-forth about   
   Veronica’s duties on the job. The caption of one of the videos read, “POV:   
   Your boss asks you to do something off the clock.”   
      
   Susan asked Veronica to work beyond her official working hours. But   
   Veronica responds with a lecture on the need for staff to remain within   
   the scope of office hours and the need for personal time.

   People Have Been Acting Their Wage for Long   
   While many workers are just becoming conscious of the “Act Your Wage”   
   movement, the culture has been around for a while. In the ’90s, Baby   
   Boomers accused the Gen-Xers of slacking at work.   
      
   In the ’50s, people who were disgusted with the work input of the Beat   
   Generation called them “dangerous, marijuana-smoking experts.” In the 60s,   
   the Greatest Generation parents of Baby Boomers accused them of idling   
   through work hours.   
      
   Many Gen-Zers Have Been Acting their Wage   
   But right now, the Gen-Zers are hopping on the trend. This is in addition   
   to the long-held perception that they are lazy and nonchalant about work.   
      
   But are they really to blame for being disenchanted with work environments   
   that have become more unbearable than ever? Companies are now demanding   
   more work experience before hiring entry-level staff. This is in addition   
   to harsh economic situations that make saving for a good life more   
   difficult.   
      
   Experts Believe That This Culture is Dangerous   
   Despite the justifications for the mass adoption of the new trend, experts   
   warn against it. They believe employees who pay their wages do more harm   
   than good to themselves.   
      
   Besides putting their employment at risk, the culture can hurt   
   promotability and slow down their career advancement. They advise   
   dissatisfied workers to speak to their bosses about how they feel.
