[@brucefleming208]

"Quit quitting is hard work"

[@abrin5508]

I would add its a piece of cake to join meetings online - just say the odd word at the start and end then do other things with the cam off. Easy way to log some hours.

[@IamMagPie]

I recommend doing private tasks at work. Paying bills in my internet bank, sending private e-mails, doing phonecalls etc. It frees up time when home after work.

[@shortcrypto7490]

I have been doing that since 2018 xD

[@-na-nomad6247]

Careful with that, especially if you're in a highly secretive business.

[@geomundi8333]

i worked at hotel at night and would sneak my laundry in. i think they knew but never said anything. it was really awesome!

[@randyblackwolf]

yup, I am part-time remote after my job screwed me over. When I don't have any work it's Netflix time

[@mtbalot]

One time I got weed delivered to reception plus dirt-bike parts, I will try your suggestion :D

[@thatcorvid5992]

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.

[@Patton0911]

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.

[@brianbird3756]

No they do not, use/lose is real.

[@brianbird3756]

I maximize my pto like crazy. I'll burn a couple of days on either side of a long weekend to get a full week off.

[@yannip2083]

What do you think of this? This is the new retirement trend >>> Several people at my work are at retirement age, and started collecting SS, but they still come to work everyday to collect their full paycheck for quiet quitting. Smart?

[@juliusceasar1815]

I'm quiet quitting because my "supervisor" plays favorites and gives awards and accolades to her friends. And the friends are nothing special. Plus, I qualify for retirement.

[@TheOldVeganDude]

Same here mate! Cheers!

[@scottwebb7477]

I call it acting my wage

[@mattabouttrails]

Good to know I'm on track. I've been doing this for years and am still more productive than 95% of my colleagues...

[@mcrow9599]

The colleague that shirks their work the most received the highest performance review! The rest of us were called reliable workhorses. DO NOT BE RELIABLE. DO NOT BE THEIR WORKHORSE. I need to quiet quit starting today.

[@georgeseverent180]

That happened to me at my work 7 years ago. Never again.

[@stefanadamcik8221]

The strange thing is, is that if a quiet quitter just does their assigned job meticulously, they will outperform the non QQrs, as 75% of most office workers are Goof Offs anyway.

[@valleyechoes9334]

So true

[@randyblackwolf]

Learned that in the US Navy...Never Again Volunteer Yourself

[@anthonyjulson8840]

Unless chief says Julson......go do it, I didn't volunteer for shit!

[@paddlepaddlepaddle8147]

It's hard to remain enthusiastic in engineering, every company I've worked at bleed your soul dry.

[@FFGG22E]

Being an engineer is asking for it. It's like you're advertising the fact that you're the smartest guy in the room and deserve more work.

[@mtbalot]

Ya I just quit my job cos I was the only design engineer left with a work ethic, so they forced me to micromanage the quiet quitters who just sat back and put their feet up. So I became one of them LMFAO. I spend ALL my free time on my health and lost 65lbs :D

[@anthonyjulson8840]

My company denied me advancement over my lack of enthusiasm. I nicely told my boss it ain't going to happen.

[@VS-bz6mc]

This is absolutely brilliant. I love the seriousness to Tom vs what he is saying. “Don’t mingle… don’t volunteer…have extra SIM cards so youre not reachable’, it goes so against the corporate grind but is genius.

[@georgeseverent180]

Tip: make yourself indispensable for one or two tasks and slack off on things other people can do. Your boss will likely let you off if you can do one or two tasks which they can’t or don’t want to do Whereas delegating tasks to other people is easy.

[@cagekind]

watching this after I cried in the bathroom of my job, I can't believe this happened to me at 22

[@cagekind]

I get paid 400e a month btw ;)

[@FoundSheep-AN]

The world of job and corporate jobs is awful everywhere right now At 22 can’t you try and make a living with something online or with social media Instagram etc?

[@nicholasbroadhurst9096]

Quit crying in the bathroom lol

[@patrickc.5441]

I'm 56yo it doesn't really get better. Realize this and QQ.

[@anthonyjulson8840]

Don't be ashamed of it. Everyone handles stress a little differently.

[@sonofcleinias7748]

I work mostly remotely. I always help people when a critical deadline needs to be reached, it balances out my lack of availability or bare minimum effort for the mundane stuff that makes up 95% of the rest of the work.

[@mtbalot]

Me also, my productivity doubles by working from home, my conscience is clear.

[@SladkaPritomnost]

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.

[@natthebratster]

A sad testimony to how the majority of the world has to behave in order to have shelter, food, etc.

[@imolamb8434]

Excellent. Will be doing this going forward 😂

[@user-je5do6jn2f]

I'm in the opposite situation. I'm an electrician at the same job site after almost 4 years. Never thought I'd have anything like job security.

[@NickMukhin]

Great, very helpful tips! And I especially liked your facial expression when you talk about social activities. All sorts of "team building" is what disgusted me in all my jobs.

[@anthonyjulson8840]

I recommend being careful with that countercyclical working if you have a security clearance.

[@cyncity6873]

Great video! Thank you for this! I will start quiet quitting this Monday! SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@jackcarpenters3759]

When in 1942 the Nazi's were the boss of our factories, every worker was a quit quitter. That sais something about our current society.

[@gracenurse3365]

The term “Quiet Quitting” seems wrong. It used to just be called “doing your job.”

[@jennysoapdish4502]

Hilarious and great insight!

[@lorenzbroll0101]

It's what the slaves did under the Soviet system until the system eventually collapsed. So it works!

[@christinah.8504]

I always tell my husband, make sure you get more than you give.

[@cdean2789]

I just dropped out.

[@jimh4072]

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.

[@josephhuston7590]

It's easier to quiet quit today,Because those work values were never there to begin with.

[@pufopc8749]

You need to add a video about the type of places where quiet quitters can remain undetected indefinitely. Not all jobs support quiet quitting, and not all managers fall for it.

[@andraconstantin9459]

You need to be smart enough to ferret that out. Its not necessarily a type of place but a specific department or position.

[@BillRalens]

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.

[@rbgz246]

When in doubt office space it

[@stefanadamcik8221]

Dude,you're awesome

[@BillRalens]

@@rbgz246 no office space. True story. I'm worried they're gonna discover the strychnine in the guacamole.

[@joecliffordson]

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.

[@pufopc8749]

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?

[@joecliffordson]

@@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.

[@joecliffordson]

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.

[@pufopc8749]

As opposed to you, I didn't make it. I know the components of success, but it's too late. I do have 32 years of hard work, the disability, and nothing much to show for. I didn't have the loser wife, either. I worked too hard to have time for one. My only objective now is to do the least I can for others, and do the most for myself.@@joecliffordson

Make a video about it. Educate us

You are your brand, and people are not stupid. Moreover, when it comes to cuts, you will be first in line, and good jobs aren't easy to come by.

[@techhelp8594]

Quiet quitting is haram, it’s immoral, people can resign if they want.

[@toietmoi650]

Paying employees less than they are worth is Haram too.

[@uf1978]

Terrible advice!
