5 years ago, we called quiet quitting "having a healthy work-life balance" or as my dad said, "You work to live, you don't live to work."

[@Freakazoid12345]

Yeah. How is this, "quiet quitting" ? Because you don't want to be harassed by people when you're not getting paid or have it bleed into your personal life and cause stress/relationship problems, etc. ? Good gracious.

As long as people are doing their job to the best of their abilities, how can that be be equated to doing below the bare minimum or saying they are leaving the company? Just mind-boggling...

[@WayBackWayBackHome]

You can become passionate about your job. Mike Rowe did a good video on this. A lot of it is really mindset. If you go into your job everyday with a mentality of "I'm just here to make money and that's it" it's going to leave you unhappy because you are spending 8 hours a day at this place. At the end of the day, that is the overall goal though. But how you perceive it does matter.

[@lluewhyn]

@@rasenche4562 That's the thing. It's one thing for a business owner to spend a good portion of their time outside the normal work hours thinking about the company and concerning themselves with what's going on. They have a direct financial interest in doing so. For those people who are salaried, it shouldn't be a frequent occurrence for them to have work on their minds while in their off-time.

Companies complaining about quiet quitting is a reminder that if it wasn't illegal they would endorse slavery.

Don't mention it dear, come to the third world to see.😂😂😂😂

[@powerlifter7897]

They wouldnt. Slavery is too expensive, because you have to sell/buy people, take care of them, teach and control them, healthcare, give them shelter and basic needs. Instead of that its much way better to take any educated Sergey, pay him 500 bucks per month in exchange for intellectual work, in order just make him to survive with that sum of money. Or even better, take some third world countries 300 people and pay them 20-40 bucks per month for any kind of work. Nowadays many working options make some people have nostalgia about slavery

[@eugenetswong]

Child labour is a thing, and not a single libertarian stood up against it.

[@PneumaNoose]

Excuse me, slavery is NOT illegal and is still in practice today. Refresh yourself on the 13th Amendment. Anyone who is deemed a “criminal” is allowed to be punished with slavery. You could be completely innocent and put into shackles and held against your will anyway. But even those guilty of crimes are working hard labor for less than $1 a day and held in captivity (the same thing we did to slaves hundreds of years ago). Furthermore, prisoners pay for almost everything including medical appointments, phone calls, letters, shoes, commissary, etc. and they are only allowed to buy from the companies owned by the prisons themselves. Make no mistake, slavery is alive and well as a BILLION dollar industry, making the richest people richer off of the suffering of human beings. Same shh, different millennia.

I’m an older GenX software engineer and I’ve been quiet quitting for the last 20 years. Finally, I’ve got the new generation on my side. Thank you, GenZ! I love you guys! 😎🤘

[@ntrg3248]

As a Gen Z who doesn't know if I'll be able to retire one day, I send my best wishes to Gen X and the Millennials that they can retire! I'm 20 and I was set on quiet quitting before I started working, It especially would benefit me to quiet quit at my current job since it's casual and therefore I'm not guaranteed to get shifts. If I get less done when I am there, there will be more to do later, meaning I get more shifts and get paid more. Gen X, Millennials and Gen Zs may have an age gap but at least we can be together in sticking a middle finger to the boomers.

[@blameekatoneikosipente482]

I will be able to retire, but that was just luck xd. I try to work as little as possible. I am not quite quitting, I am existing quietly on the pay roll. I come in, do most of what I need to do, dodge as much work as i can, and then clock out after a sneaky nap or at least a sneaky snooze.

They say this because it appeals to the capitalists/American Dream mentality of making a name for yourself. In both cases, they where born into a bunch of wealth, and as such had a ton of resources at their disposal to make more.

I can't believe Dr. Phil said "slacker employees who place personal life over work" and was completely serious.

[@nigelft]

I can ... The tragedy of Dr. Phil is that he forgot what he went through to gain his Ph.D in Clinical Psychology, and his postdoctoral in Forensic Psychology ... Rather, he is more of a businessman, who, whilst not actually saying it, likely sets 'the tone', that clocking in at 8am, and clocking out at 5pm, is not enough. That quickly gains momentum the lower down the management chain you go, where 8 -10hrs/day, and being available on Saturdays, 'meets expectations' which doesn't always equate to a pay rise. For that you need to 'exceed expectations', by always being switched on, especially answering emails right upto 8pm at night, from home, and then treat Saturdays as just another work week. Which leads to the paradox that, despite expectations of being promoted, you've fallen into the trap of making yourself too invaluable in your current position. If you're lucky, you may get a pay rise, but nothing much beyond that, as you set the tone for the management above you that you will continue to work as hard as that until either they, or you, retire. And don't dare complain about anything about your job, whilst at work. The result is too often a backlash against you, especially when some staff are treated more favourably than others; and where expectations of them is lower than the way higher expectations of you, just to get the same performance evaluation.

[@177SCmaro]

I think people need to take a little personal responsibility here. If one believes one is over-worked, that is, one's labor is being undervalued, one should express this to one's employer and ask that either their work load be reduced or spread out or that their compensation be increased accordingly. If one's employer refuses then it's probably best to fine another employer who will or work directly for the customer by going into business for one's self. Complaining to the government, or any other authority figure, or a tv pusdo-psychologist to fix this for you is the response of someone who has not yet mentally matured into an adult yet.

Well yes and no. I've personally seen what goes into running your own business. It's, well... Frankly, it's absolutely ridiculous. Unless you have the capital from the get go to set up managers and a full staff, you actually DO have to put in unhealthy amounts of hours into getting things done that need to be done. But that's because you're essentially doing the work of like 6 or 7 different positions by yourself. The entire point is to put in the hard work yourself, to then hire people that do those things for you. Make no mistake, whoever built a successful business from nothing had to work extremely hard for it. But once you cross a certain threshold, the effort required to maintain it reduces drastically. The problem is that the successful business owners have a tendency to forget just how brutally difficult their start was. And, *most importantly,* that the hard work they put in will NOT yield the same return that employees see. Entrepreneurs put in that extra hard work, because they know that at the end of the road is sustainable profit for relatively small amounts of effort. For regular employees, that just isn't a reality. The job will never be anything more than just a means to make a modest living. Employees are NEVER going to put in the same amount of effort that entrepreneurs do because the future payoff just isn't even in the same realm. I think that these two are guilty of becoming too accustomed to the structure that they once worked hard to set up that now allows them to do what they do with reduced effort. The truth is, success has a tendency to make one forget where they came from.

Was told that I had to just forgive her cause walmart messed up with her in the past. Just before I left and never returned. Found out sge was bestfriends with the head of that store.

And the more you try to prove the higher ups(work more) the less workforce they will need. Then you burnout and they call you weak.

When I realized I no longer had a career, but just a job, I backed off and quietly quit.

[@user-zr6pl6nb6z]

Funny, I mentioned that to my manager just recently. He said something to me like, "This is your career and this is my career" (meaning we're there to succeed). I replied to him that it was no longer a career for me, but just a job since I never got any opportunity to grow.

[@Kancerous]

Quiet quitting in my field was simply not taking a promotion without a raise, they paid the last guy $4hr less because he allowed it, I refused to accept before they agreed in writing I would be paid not just what the position pays by the company but my worth and what I bring to the table. I was an order picker asked to become a loader for a warehouse, and when they had nobody else that was reliable to put in that position they quickly agreed to negotiations. Went from $17.75/hr that they paid the last guy as well as myself (he made what I did but had more responsibilities) to $21.75hr. Make them pay you based on your worth or find an employer that will.

[@johnberry2877]

In Healthcare in Michigan , I have seen employees walked out after giving notice, their last check paid out in minimum wage, and every day of vacation pay owed to them confiscated by the employer !! How this is legal is beyond me. Moreover, every job I have had prior to nursing NEVER treated the employees like this !!

I'm the girl who the company would call on my day off, and I would come to work- others refused to answer their phones. I gladly covered other people's jobs who did not come in. I knew 6 different dept. and often did my work, then helped others finish theirs. I came in earlier than my shift or worked later than my shift, because I was asked to do so. I'm the empath- people pleaser that could not say no. Did I get a raise or promote? No! Did I get employee of the month or any recognition for going above and beyond? No Sometimes I was told, "thanks for coming in" and after several years , I moved on to a company that appreciates hard work more than the last company did. It takes so little to make someone feel appreciated and some companies won't even acknowledge a great worker who is going the extra mile. Eventually, these great workers will leave for a better company. 5:15

The thing about 'Quiet Quitting' leading to speaking Chinese... China is quiet quitting just as much or more than America. They call it 'Lying Flat' or 'Let it Rot,' and they've made a whole lifestyle of it. This isn't just an American thing. It's simply the natural response for any employee realizing that their pay isn't based on merit.

[@Queef_latina]

Same here, only difference is that the new hires get paid more then the ones already working there. No one wants to work for idiots so they have to offer more to entice new employees. So literally the only way to get paid more is to job hop because employers are greedy morons

[@Wahinies]

Had a new guy mimic me and then prevaricate to get me to do his job for him. Right then and there I realized how manipulative he is. Now he only has to work barely harder than me to look like the best employee ever, right as I am enforcing boundaries I never had. It truly is a cold world and employers really do not give two shits about you. Plan accordingly.

[@SouthSideChiTown]

This is not quiet quitting. I'm 53 years old, most jobs I've held in my life involve work related interaction during working hours ONLY, and not having to interact or think about work until your next scheduled work day. This new (last 20yrs or so) corporate culture promotes "mission creep" into our personal life where we never actually get away from work. Emails, phone calls, etc.... This is called reclaiming your personal time. This is also why I have not pursued an advanced degree. PS: Let's also not forget about the the CORPORATE mandates over the last year or so, which not only infringed on our personal rights concerning Informed consent, the right to choice where there's risk involved, and bodily autonomy, but caused many people to lose their jobs.

We're not lazy. We were born in an economic environment that didn't favor us. We have had to survive disaster after disaster. Recession after recession. Boomers don't even have degrees and yet they're set up for life. Most of us millenials have degrees, (many of us have multiple degrees) and yet we can barely keep our heads out of the water. My husband is a lawyer and I'm a professional too and we haven't been able to afford a house. That should tell these boomers something is wrong with the economy, not with the workers!!

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

Thank you! Owning a home and living comfortably and not in excess shouldn't be an unattainable goal, but we are set up to fail because the rules keep changing to benefit a small percentage of people while leaving the rest of us scrambling to survive. I went from being an hourly, low wage earner to a college degree and almost 6 figure salary. I busted my ass and I'm not lazy. The American Dream is a joke.

[@joehenry9546]

The main point of quiet quitting is the realization that your in a job that no matter how hard you work you can not get a raise or get promoted. So you have to bide your time until a better job comes along. That’s a lot different than being lazy.

[@iSoldat]

I've found that corporations no longer care about their employees unless profits beat projections and papa CEO can buy a new vacation home or the latest euro sport car.

Yup I worked at a company that wanted to save money. Everyone worked really hard and we ended up saving 10 million extra at years end. Only the managers and assistant managers got a few thousand dollar bonus for it. The 12 people under them in each department that did all the work got nothing. The following year the company ended up taking losses because everyone said screw it. Why would anyone work above their pay rate when they won't get anything for it? Everyone just did what was expected of them for their normal job but stopped going above and beyond. It became one of those things were you worked just hard enough not to get fired.
