@@AkshayKumar-vd5wn Learn to do your contractual responsibilities as quickly as you can. Stop there. If you need to look busy, find ways to do so or slow your work down. If you don't, then spend the time doing things you care about. Know that most, if not all, of your coworkers and managers are doing the same. You will sometimes get people who go above and beyond -- that's fine. If everyone is doing that, get out unless it's being rewarded or that's what is important for you. Josh puts it well; "Calculated risks". If you want to go above and beyond, you have to be intentional about it. The larger the company, the less likely it is to be cared about or noticed. You have to be strategic because you only have so much time and energy in a day.

[@jeffthompson1869]

The semantics will get you in trouble - because if you think you are "quiet quitting" - then you are mentally turning off. The next raise or promotion will go to someone else - and that reinforces the idea that "the game is rigged against me." Go-getters know that if they are perceived as being indispensable to their employer - the employer is more likely to give the raise or promotion - next time salary negotiations come about. Part of every job is attitude and hustle. Even a sh*ty job requires that.

@@jeffthompson1869 the thing tho Jeff is that it's not like that anymore. If you do a great job and are efficient, employer wants to keep you in your position to keep doing it and keep making him money. If they promote you who's going to do your old job? Now they have to train you and the new guy. The better job goes to someone new, usually a connection, someones kid. My last job hired this girl with absolutely no experience in anything, not even in working in an office as a finance manager. She was barely out of school, and her education was in biology, but she was somebodys kid. They didnt promote the one next in line even tho she dis a great job and worked in banks before so was efficient and experienced. The new finance manager knew nothing and couldn't do her job so they just offloaded her work onto others and hired a guy to do her job for less pay as an underling while she collected the big checks. Paying your dues and trying is done for. The only way for most people to move up the ladder is to switch jobs every 2-4 years. It's a completely new world out there and the shift in people's thinking and attitude reflects reflects that because it adjusts to the world employers created.

I've been told that others were never asked to do certain jobs because they never did the job properly when asked to do so; management just gave up and asked the people who try to do their jobs well to take the extra load. I never understood why some colleagues did the required amount of work and no more; Now that I've become a little jaded, I completely understand it and, although it's been a lifetime habit of putting more work in than required, I'm now trying to curb the habit and learning to have boundaries; or at least a fair deal when it comes to working with others. Quiet quitting seems healthy to me. My situation might be different than others; but too many times over the years I've seen people get exploited for going above and beyond.

Nailed it man! The main problem with the media is they consider everything as a problem, if people are quitting their jobs due to over-work stress then it's a bad thing. If people are relating their problems and trying to solve it, then it's a problem to them. From what I understand, doing only the things you are supposed to do is a good thing, at least we are eliminating the over work trend to make your career grow. I myself as a software engineer, used to face such over work situation, and it's not because I just want to, but its due to the environment that has been created around us and its shown that the people who are over working are only the best performer and all.. Doing only what you are supposed to do is a good thing, it promotes work life balance, you get time for yourself to study and keep upto date with latest technologies.

I barely passed high school, I struggled in college and I started at the bottom rung of a career. But the company had some holes with how it dealt with customers and I slowly became invaluable over time and climbed the ladder, but there was no way I was climbing that ladder by "working harder". The fact was I became really good at handling disgruntled customers that were on verge of leaving and that the company couldn't afford to lose the only engineer capable of retaining some of those high-paying customers, it gives you more leverage when you can turn around to your boss and say, "I need more money or I'll have to look for a job else where" and that actually be something the company has to seriously worry about. Progressing in a career comes down to two things, first having the leverage to make demands and second, having the willingness to move on to another job if your current one is dead-end.

I quit my job as a delivery driver earlier this year. I was there for almost 7 years. I went from being the guy who volunteered to stay late to the guy they primarily asked to stay late to the guy they expected to lean on. I did way more than any other driver, by far, and I was up there with the best employees - aka a handful of managers. My managers treated me very well, we knew it was a team effort. We were the busiest store in all of San Antonio. As years went on, my managers changed over and over. Near the end, they had a bunch of kids as the managers. Same kids I taught, same kids I looked over, same kids I bonded with. But they suddenly had problems with how I worked when they got in charge. I got accused of a lot of horrible stuff, too. Like, state penitentary stuff. Top it all off I never got a raise. Matter of fact, they were reducing mileage pay while gas was going up. So, I quit. It was going downhill for some time. One of my best buddies passed away. I hadn't seen from him in a couple months due to shifts not overlapping. A dozen or so young guys tried to fight me over a delivery. One of them even slapped me. Not a single one was bigger than me but they knew I was on the clock, in uniform, and severely outnumbered. The thing that really felt the most insulting, was when we had a store meeting where people were given awards. I wasn't named. Afterwards, a bunch of the people came up to me and said "I was shocked they didn't name you!" I joked, said the new managers never saw me in my prime... but I was pretty upset internally. The only manager to remain the same was the actual store manager. The night I quit, he texted me asking what happened. I said I'd come in to talk if he wanted, but there was no way I'd come back. He said that was okay, and said "good luck". I knew the guy for 7 years. I was on my way out in a short while anyways, it seemed, because I was coming towards the end of my web dev roadmap. You spend a lot of time thinking and fantasizing when you're on the road. I romanticized how my departure would go. I'd say goodbye to everyone. I'd get my last employee meal. I'd give my boss a Cowboys hat because he liked those and always welcomed more. Instead, I finished my shift, tossed my hat towards one of the kids, and let 'em know I quit. There's a universe where hard work pays off. There's a place when you get the fruits of your labor. I think, really, it's when you're the boss. Like I said, I'm at the first steps of web dev right now. And at some point, I'm going to be self employed. At some point, the hard work that I do all the time will work to my benefit and only my benefit. When that happens, I think I'll get over the nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach that I feel for not being treated properly.

[@BGP369]

Your manager asking you what happened to cause you to quit.... That is literally his job to know already, the fact he didn't is not surprising unfortunately. The fact he didn't really want to know why is also telling. Get in. Get the experience you need and get out asap to self employment.

[@ghostaccountlmao]

@John Smith One of the last arguments I had was when I refused to let a manager give herself a payout on a ticket she didn't take. She, somehow, thought she was in the right solely because she was a manager. She even threatened to get our store manager involved. I said go ahead. I told him exactly what happened, in 5 seconds time, and I had proof so she didn't say anything. He immediately laughed and said I was right. Then left. Now the thing is: she was effectively openly stealing because she thought it wasn't a problem. And all he did was not get in my way. That's kind of insane.

Keep applying for jobs even after you accept an offer. This allows you to CHOOSE your next job rather than SETTLE for one. 4.

It's totally the opposite. I had a new job which I put in the extra mile to ensure I passed a 6 month probation. When review time came, my probation was extended because my overall score was lower than expected even though the reasons were bought up with my Manager. It was mainly due to an influx of complex cases which meant more time speaking to clients and more time taken to work the cases to completion. In the end I asked what score my manager wanted for a pass and for the next month I did only enough to get that score. When the department was under stress and my manager asked if I could take on extra cases I looked him in the eye and said "No thanks". It was kinda funny actually 😂. Needless to say I passed probation by the end of the month and then applied to transfer to another department straight after. I've maintained that same energy ever since. You tell me what you will or won't accept and I'll deliver that to you. I've been stupidly punished in literally every job I try to go "the extra mile" and eventually learnt my lesson.

I had a kick in the head a couple of months ago (metaphorically) - I went onto a client site and did a full day's job 8 hours from start to finish, earned the company a little over $700 for one day's work. I earn a little over $170 a day on my salary. It made me think 'Why have I just done a full day to put just over $700 into my boss's pocket and I won't see any of that?' This job was an 'extra' - ie work that came in off the cuff. The rest of our income comes in automatically with pre-signed and agreed contracts with multiple clients, they pay a fixed amount each month for our services so there's money coming in regardless. Because this job was an 'extra' for a client without a contract, all the time spent on it was automatically billable for that day's work. When I crunched the math I said to myself 'I'm not going to do this anymore. Its time I start working for myself, my time for me.' - To that end, I'm in the process of getting a side gig off the ground that I plan to have started and live in the New Year - there's crap loads for me to do, but I'm willing to put the effort in.
