Quiet quitting is doing less or minimum, at every opportunity, than what you're responsible and not take any more work. No new ideas or improvement. Keep to your ownself and don't hold out for anybody. Don't expect any form of reward from your employer. Just do what you're told and don't care of the consequences

The best tip I ever got was from an old man. We worked in a big warehouse together with 39 other material handlers and the boss would walk the front and look down every isle looking to grab someone for a random task. He said; “young man put yer hands on something/anything when you see the boss coming” as he grabbed an orange traffic cone left behind by a maintenance crew. As I walked away with the boss I look back to see him put the traffic cone back on the floor in it’s previous spot. From that day if I saw the boss coming I picked up a case of product, an inventory scanner gun even that same orange traffic cone, lol. It works! Always hold something in your hands.

I learned that quiet quitters must also take all their days off - vacation time, sick leave, personal leave. Maximize these days when you can. Not using them is like leaving money on the table.

Vacation time is part of your benefit packages. They have to pay any unused PTO out to you. Sick leave is what you’ll lose if you don’t use.

I got passed over for promotion after restructuring our whole department, because we got a new MD and he wanted someone he knew. Because my new boss has now taken on some of my responsibilities, I have made myself as minimally helpful as possible - always do just enough to keep it looking like I’m busy. I now have more time to spend with my kids and working out. 😊

Mine does too! I am an employee's supervisor. She wasn't doing her job, I told her what she needed to do, and she ran complaining to my supervisor. Well, my supervisor turns around and berates me and sides with my employee. I did nothing wrong, and yet, I got thrown under the bus. This witch of an employee that I supervise is obviously my boss' favorite. This has been a frequent occurrence. I'm pulling out emotionally and thinking about my next steps.

I worked a job for six and a half years without a promotion. I won multiple district monthly awards, employee of the month, was number 1 or 2 for my numbers for the year. Was trained across my entire company. Even trained people higher up than me how to do different aspects of their job. Eventually I felt defeated, left out, and couldn’t deal with the anxiety of my job so I began underperforming, being late, getting sick from anxiety about my life and feeling like I was going nowhere. Eventually one day I left after my shift and never came back. I regret not doing my best until the end but should have left long ago.

QQ people realized they can get money with no to little efforts, and no one bothers. Extra efforts are actually not wanted by leaders. It's hard depersonalisation of human endeavor. That's how it goes in big corporations, work is pointless almost every moment you're there. Every achievement is soon obsolete. And that's pretty much everywhere. People just do what they have to (do bare minimum) to get their bills paid off, nothing more, nothing else. No higher common sense, no purpose, no belonging, no social life, just lost time at meaningless work.

Tracking your productivity is important. I put in about 4 hours of actual work. If I’m at home, I dose off or do other things like work on a side gig or research. Maximise your employee benefits , share buying schemes or whatever that benefits you. Always keep your resume refreshed and updated. Quiet quitting means that you have one foot out of the door, you should leave after 2 or 3 years.

In my office job the overtime is paid - none is unpaid. I still won’t do overtime even for the money as I don’t really need it, I prefer to have free time and my weekends to be my own. I don’t volunteer for anything now, I don’t want to learn anything new, I just want to work my usual hours and get paid. I don’t socialise with people from work and never will again. I did all these things in my last job that I was in for over 20 years - I won’t make the same mistake again.

I worked at an office job for a software engineering company. They weren't doing to well so they hired a couple of consultants named Bob. Both were named Bob. Turns out the two Bobs figured out I was laid off awhile back but still getting a pay check and they fixed that glitch. You'd think they could just leave me alone to watch the squirrels getting married and polishing my red stapler. I set THE example on quiet quitting. They added the last straw. It wasn't quiet quitting after that but now I spend all my time on the beach in mexico threatening to take my dollars elsewhere.

I get it 100%. I’ve been with my company for 20 years. So dedicated trying to always act like the best employee. But it doesn’t matter. I can work 50% less and literally get the same results. Nobody will tell you not to work so much even though we say “don’t work to hard” as a way of saying goodbye to a friend. Your boss won’t ever save you from coming in on the weekends for free and whatnot. I’m beginning my journey of quite quitting and it’s has need very good for my mental health. Couple of things that stick is I overheard a coworker tell another coworker how bored he was and I was always slammed with work and stress but it was because of me. Now I have backed off and still get the same done and feel much better

Ive been self-employed now for years and awhile back I got bored and applied for some jobs. What I found is that employers love to talk about being part of their stupid bs work family but dont want to tell you a pay scale or an accurate job description. I also found that I didnt obtain interviews through these jobsites, only junkmail as the jobsite immediately sells my info to a hundred other employers with jobs I have no interest in doing and never searched for nor have experience in doing. If I cant give a resume or application to a real person with a name and a pulse, Ive realized that your shit company offers shit jobs and shit pay.

Sounds like work. Just doing your job. I always liked overtime. That’s where the paycheck grew. Those paychecks got me into real estate. Now I have rentals. It was very very hard work and required sacrifices. Now. Some days I sleep in and play with my wife all day. Some days I fix stuff and have long hours. Some days I just hire somebody to get my shit done.The contractor sets his or her price. Wage income sucks ass so I recommend loud quitting like Johnny Cash. My unskilled labor starts at 15 bucks an hour and they are always welcome to buy in on a deal. Or better yet bring me a deal to buy in on. When you look back on your life and tell your kids you did just the bare minimum and actually planned to be mediocre I hope the shame doesn’t eat you alive. WTF is this? Too lazy to quit and deal with real wage declining for decades? instead of manning up and moving on to inflation fighting income sources? Seriously this is the advice you give youngsters?instead of work hard and have a plan to get the fuck out of the rat race. You wouldn’t know anything about that though. Would you? I can help. Just ask.

it is mathematically impossible for most people to make it like you did. what if you don't have the time for overtime? what if you are too sick and obsolete to be hired by anyone else or do that overtime? what if you lack any valuable skills like most people do? what if you worked yourself into disability like I did, but the disability checks don't cover rent, let alone other luxuries?

@@pufopc8749 my motivation was I got serious bone cancer at 23. It is a matter of making time. I went back to work after a year off. Three years later I was out. I mean it is really hard. Time will be sacrificed. I quit music and movies and spent my time at the library because there was no KZbin. I drove old cars and fixed them myself and of course the most time consuming thing was the mistakes. There is no excuse in a free country you just have to want it bad enough.

Listen to yourself. I counter that I got out while recovering from bone cancer. Followed five years later with horrific injuries from a bike accident. There is always an excuse. I agree mathematically most folks will not get out because they want to do something else. I went to the library and consumed everything I could read on real estate. There was no KZbin with info at my fingertips. It is hard with the time and lack of skills but I learned. If it is a mental disability you have then this discussion isn’t for you. But you can write so I assume you can read. Here are some sacrifices I made. Music, entertainment, birthdays and holiday events, sleep. New cars, privacy as I shared living space to save, going out to eat, and finally a loser wife that did not share my vision.shut off Netflix and learn. Replace music with ebooks. I recommend starting with the book The Richest Man in Babylon. Then put time in on the power of intention because you first must intend on doing something positive instead of being a victim.
