You’ve quietly quit for 4 years? Why not literally quit already? Imagine what you could have accomplished if you had actually quit and built something? Sounds like you’ve been burning rubber for 4 years now dude. I’ve “quiet quit” every hourly based job I’ve ever had, but I leave to build my own businesses.

[@jayscards8640]

@@ericlikestowander7510it’s a change in mindset, and a good one for modern times. While, yes, the employer pays him a salary and benefits, the employee pays the employer with time and labor. If the employer acts poorly in the employee’s eyes, he can refuse to spend his resources on this job and choose to look elsewhere. Remember to periodically give your employer a job review to make sure that you are getting the most compensation and respect for your time and effort.

I been quiet quitting before it became a thing . I was asked to work overtime today, I always just give them a good reason as to why not to give the illusion that I care. The key word is “quiet “ never tell another employee neither

[@aaronogden9900]

I used to have a team leader who always talked down her nose to you like she was special. She once had a go at me for never doing overtime and saying we all had to do our share. She asked why I didn’t do any so I gave the honest answer: I don’t want to. She went red and walked off in a fluster😂

[@whereisgabri3641]

Quick story. I worked for a big4 company and used to work 12h a day for a particular project which lasted several months. One night i left the office at 1am, got in my car and started driving home. I was so tired that I felt asleep for a few seconds and just woke up before my car could hit a wall. I was lucky the road was empty. From that moment I said to myself I would have never worked overtime in my life and that’s exactly what I’ve done. Companies won’t just steal your best years, sometimes they can steal your life too.

i quit my previous employer , because my manager asked me to work from 8 am until 10 pm , because he was doing and the reason he gave me was he was trying to train me as a manager like him. I quit and told him on the face that its not a work place , instead its a sweat shop . i escalated to HR and dropped the papers after joining them in 3 weeks. could not take the sress any more. they threatened me to blacklist me , I replied , I am blaclisting you guys.. I ve been my own consultant from then and make 4x money and work way way less with more clarity band quality. That was my best decision ever made. By the way, I dint have any job when I quit, but I trusted my instinct and saved my soul ans self respect..

Wage slavery really does break the soul. Your health physically and mentally is worth so much more than going the “extra mile” for a company.

[@grasshopper1153]

"Giving it your all" doesn't reward people anymore. Not sure how companies don't understand this. Times have changed. This is not the 1950's anymore. I think wages are not keeping pace with inflation and employers don't really care. Also, I think the way to get a raise these days is to change jobs.

[@TomScryleus]

What is your occupation?

[@Jaime-eg4eb]

I quiet quit and my boss started criticizing my pace in a rather threatening way. I agreed with her, gave some vague excuse and the next day during our standup I thanked everyone and told them I was leaving the company. She was there so she was a bit shocked that I hadn't discussed it with her first. The reason I did things this way is that I was already done with her lies. I was promised a promotion, salary increase and bonus in a company that had a yearly revenue growth of 150%. I made big contributions to projects bringing in millions, on the basis of those promises. When time came to fulfill them she told me it was an "employer market" so I would not be receiving anything. I was later told the company had decided to get rid of independent contractors like me before the two-year mark, so I would soon be without a job anyway. So really I had very little interest in discussing me leaving the company with her or giving her two weeks notice. I just wanted to say goodbye to the team and that's what I did. If you can't fulfill your promises to employees they will at best treat you like a commodity. Respect goes both ways. I wasn't the only one leaving by the end of it.

They like my honesty, they know exactly where they stand in my priorities when they pay me and when they don’t. They like the consistency and their progress projections are always accurate because I don’t bullsh*t them.

The best thing about working for the government is that this kind of shit doesn't fly. I get paid probably 60% of what a public company would pay me for the same job but I still earn well over average in my country because my job is highly specialised so it's whatever. What I get in return is a safe and stable job where people say thank you and remind me that I'm respected when I work overtime because the systems I manage are critical for our society. When everything goes well my days are fairly quiet and easy going. Since the workplace culture is so healthy and my superiors make me feel important and valued, I have no trouble working overtime when there's a fire to put out or a huge project to close. ..and I get paid double for overtime hours. Imagine large public companies operating like this. I bet your damn ass they would do even better than they do with the slaver king style. I agree with everything here. Nobody can make you work overtime unless you're specifically obligated by contract. And you shouldn't unless there's a good reason to and you get fairly compensated for it. There is a number of hours that I need to work for my monthly pay and everything above those hours will cost my employer extra. That's just how it goes. I'm trading my hours for money, no hour is free, ever.

Similar situation here. 4 years after being hired by a different manager I was fired because I refused to accept being treated like crap while others got royal treatment. Honestly I think I was getting quiet fired, but I refused to do extra, including overtime. I clocked out exactly on time, no sooner, no later. I refused to do aisle work, because I was print shop. I got medical doctors to prevent me from lifting heavy things. When I refused to accept that another employee didn't have to go through the hoops I did, they fired me. The toxic manager got fired because of me, and I don't think they really appreciated that. On top of that I have not been able to take on a new job in this small city... and I think it is because of sh*ttalk at my expense with the local chamber of commerce. I have been out of work for two years now, closing in on three. When I did get fired it was as "no cause". Then I tried to get employment insurance. It came up that the document I signed that stated "no cause" was bogus and there was a cause mentioned and I did not get my EI. I was railroaded out and lost my income in its entirety. This was at Staples. Screw it I get to say who it was.

At a previous career I was in, things were ridiculous.

After a while, they transferred me to a call center job, which I quit after over a week of that nonsense. Landed a much better career 1 month later.

Quiet quitting is nessecery, sometimes. If you think outside the initial place you go, to sell your time to, you'll realize there are, abundant opportunities. You dont need to quit your job, to explore those opportunities, but rather reserve your energies and free time, so you can gradually explore them and potentially scale them to achieve a higher quality of life. Firing "quiet quitters," sounds like a witch hunt, and maybe the company should look at its culture, first, before hastily blaming the workers.

So I was fired / laid off every 2.5 Years on Average I'm now a Successful Self Employed Engineering Consultant. I got all my experience from those Co's & I AINT GIVIN IT BACK!! 😅

[@taramaforhaikido7272]

Medical. That's a bit different. Can be life and death for people at that point. In that situation might want to consider being upfront with the boss about burning out on the job. If you think you'll be a liability and want to be fired then just say you're one. That or challenge people how to do things better for the company somehow (make it more then yourself alone in other words). Any other job and it's "meh". Medical can save lives though. Not having more people might be down to wondering who to trust with the job.

[@TomScryleus]

I I was upfront, and I did challenge, I did talk to the manager about it. they refused to listen. I said I would do 50/50.

[@dgpozniak]

You are sayin a lot, that you work as a consultant. I don't quite get, what do you exactly do. Could You explain, please?

[@TomScryleus]

sure. I work for a consulting company, and I go to companies to help out in different projects, or temporary interim solutions. In different fields like supply chain management, purchasing etc. This is why I have been to a lot of companies.

[@ArtistSoftwareEngineer]

I have a feeling she was crying not for you, but for herself, and her coworkers.l left behind - trapped potentially by their circumstances where they have no choice but to give tacit acceptance to being exploited because of their living expenses. Maybe even it was subconscious. Living expenses which rise inexorably in a fiat money system through the thievery of inflation, and where the company is never going to compensate you in line with that unless you are utterly brutal in playing them yourself. That realisation is certainly enough to bring someone to tears.

[@TomScryleus]

thats interesting. you might be right.

I escaped wage slavery by being on retirement. Got burned out applied for disability retirement. Easy.

[@gethinfiltrator6700]

The woman crying was probably kind of a manipulation because, as a man, you will surely not catch it as a manipulation but she decided to strategically "let go" of her control to cry so you will feel worse for seeing her crying rather then losing your job. I know this paints women as really bad but I don't really care. 13:55 oh, but you did catch it but didnt interpret it. just as something "a bit off" huh

[@TomScryleus]

Ive been married for more than 10 years, yes women do manipulate. :)

[@BMadPhoto]

quiet quitting is the dumbest name for this - I thought quiet quitting was not working or barely working but still collecting a paycheck - this just sounds like working a job with a healthy work life balance

[@adammorra3813]

I dont get why your business manager was crying and then gave you a hug? Why was she so upset if it was ultimately her decision?

[@TomScryleus]

To this day its still a mystery to me... :)

[@erubin100]

@@TomScryleus Maybe it wasn't really her decision, but the people above her. She could've been crying for the sole reason that she was losing someone who could've really helped her out, and now she's stuck doing all the extra work you would've done had you worked overtime. She's a bootlicker hoping for a slightly-less-salty boot to lick, if that makes sense.

Same situation. Got fired, boss hugged me on my last day and said "you will be fine". This is as good as burning someone's house and telling them they will be fine. Don't understand her logic 😂

Fired for quiet quitting means you quit completely but wanted the paycheck. I been doing it for 5 years. Just keep pace without all the extra effort while maintaining a decent attitude.

[@tankthepitbull520]

That story is completely fucked up.

sure is.. and the crying is still a mystery to me. :)

[@bobronsons5780]

@@TomScryleus My first CEO also cried when I got retrenched. Essentially, she inherited a very male dominated industry type company form her father and then when covid hit everyone had to take the same pay cut. I was already not earning a living wage but making MILLIONS for the damn company. When I protested they basically let me go but the CEO realized that she was losing a quality employee; but was too stubborn to let me keep my already sub par salary. Like a 2k pay cut for someone earning 10k is 20% of their salary vs a 2k cut for someone earning 200k at 1%......... (these are literal figures btw). Anyways, I stood my ground and didn't accept that kind of treatment. I wont go back unless they give me a proper salary offer that I can LIVE off of. Things have never been okay since I started working in the real world and it has been over a decade now. Not looking for sympathy but I just don't care to make other's rich while I suffer relentlessly. I'd rather die poor on my own terms than die slightly less poor but have earned multiple retirement homes in Portugal for some ungrateful "human." Especially seeing as I did a 4 man job by myself consistently...

'I've had many many jobs at many places'. Best. I run companies. I look after my employees but expect them to look after the company also. For every hour of overtime they do, I do 10. When the big recession comes I think your subscribers will be zero and you will be paid by unemployment by the government paid by companies and people with a non-entitled attitude.

@@TomScryleus I did watched it, but you don't really say why you are not a communist, you just say you are not one.

I just dont fall for any of the poltical social constructs. Since they are all flawed in some way. If any of them actually worked there would be no political debate

[@alan199360]

@@TomScryleus Well, if you ignore the world, one day it will knock on your door. If you don't make a choice, someone will do it for you. We are heading for a climatic pandemonium and a third world war. We are experiencing a global wave of fascism: Argentina, Italy, El Salvador, Portugal, USA, etc... It's not a question of choosing a flawless political social construct, even because it would be impossible, every political social construct is flawed. It's about survival now, the time for centrist is over. Or you fight fascism, or you will be crushed by it. I'm not asking you to become a socialist, or a communist, I'm trying to show you how capitalism had lied to us all and prepare you for what is coming.
