Is Oregon really the top state for ‘quiet quitting’?
“Quiet quitting” is sort of probably the phrase of the summer season. Principally the concept is that some individuals are doing, relying on the way you take a look at it, both the naked minimal to keep up their employment or their precise job and nothing extra, as a result of they now not imagine in hustle tradition.
It began as a TikTok concept, then a Wall Avenue Journal article. Individuals obtained mad. Individuals obtained irritated. Now, some are speaking about “quiet firing.”
It’s the circle of life.
However, on Monday, KPTV printed a narrative saying that Oregon “is the highest ‘quiet quitting’ state” as a result of, in keeping with one other web site, schoolauthority.org, probably the most tweets about quiet quitting got here from Oregon.
It’s a bit skinny.
However, perhaps in Oregon folks have simply lastly discovered a phrase to explain their common perspective in the direction of working.
One shouldn’t generalize, after all, however, typically Oregonians love their work-life steadiness. Individuals transfer to Portland and Bend as a result of they love recreating outdoor, not as a result of they wish to get forward within the rat race. As an alternative of ambition to be the boss of somebody, most Oregonians aspire to be the boss of a bunch of tomatoes in their very own backyard.
So, who is aware of what the truth that a bunch of tweets about quiet quitting are coming from Oregon actually means, however one factor’s for certain: Oregonians have been quiet quitting for years.

UCLA wins the Big Ten baseball title in its first season in the conference.
UCLA baseball can call itself a Big Ten champion. The Bruins and Oregon Ducks tied for the Big Ten title. They will share the conference championship after both teams won on Saturday. UCLA crushed Northwestern, 11-1, while Oregon went on the road and smacked around Iowa 13-4 to share the title with the Bruins. Ducks Wire has more:
“The Ducks finish the regular season on a major high, winning 10 straight games with an overall record of 41-13 and 22-8 in conference action. With this sweep, they are almost guaranteed to host one of the 16 regionals in the NCAA tournament. The only question now is whether Oregon will be one of the eight national seeds to host a possible Super Regional.
“But first, the Ducks needed to complete the sweep in Iowa City, and they got the job done rather easily. Third baseman Cater Garate hit two of Oregon’s five home runs on the day, driving in five, and Jacob Walsh drove in three more in the regular season finale. Iowa was actually up 1-0 after an inning, but starter Jason Reitz settled in, went 5.2 innings, allowing just that one run on four hits to go to 5-0 on the season.”
Ducks Wire’s note about Oregon hosting a super regional is important. Oregon and UCLA are both in the hunt for a hosting spot. The upcoming Big Ten Tournament might determine if one or both schools get one of the 16 regional hosting positions. Oregon will be the No. 1 seed at the Big Ten Tournament, UCLA No. 2.
EUGENE — We are live from Jane Sanders Stadium for this afternoon’s NCAA Regional winner’s bracket game between No. 16 seed Oregon and Stanford.

The softball regular season has come to an end, which means it’s time for the West Coast Conference to announce it’s end of season awards.. After a solid season, several Beavers earned postseason honors. Here’s who the voters highlighted.

Pitcher Logan Hulon and Outfielder Jada Lewis were both named to the All-West Conference First Team. Lewis was the Beavers’ best batter this seaosn, leading the team in most offensive statistics, including batting average, OPS and OBP. She was also one of the best in the conference at stealing bases, succeeding on 16 of her 17 attempts this season. Hulon was the team’s ace on the pitching mound, putting together a 13-12 record over the season. She finished the year with an ERA of 2.86 and a WHIP of 1.27.
Two more Beavers made the All-West Coast Conference Second Team. One of them was the Beavers’ other starting pitcher, Elle Garcia. Garcia was neck and neck with Hulon in most statistics for the season, with an 11-11 record, a 3.44 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. OF Morgan Howey also made Second Team. Howey was also one of the team’s best batters, and one of the best fielders in the conference, with only 1 error on 115 fielding chances.
Former Oregon State Softball Coach Named to Hall of Fame
Another pair of Oregon State infielders made the list of Honorable Mentions. Jaeya Butler was another solid bat for the Beavers, and Tristian Thompson was the team’s best slugger, with a .538 slugging percentage and 10 home runs. Finally, infielder Paige Bambarger was named to the WCC’s All Freshman Team.
A few Beavers were also singled out for academic honors. Elle Garcia was named to the conference’s All-Academic Team, while Morgan Howey and Logan Hulon were named Honorable Mentions.
While they didn’t earn a postseason bid in 2025, this season was a strong statement from the Beavers, and there is plenty to build on for next year.
