      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.

    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.

      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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 TH-cam. 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
      @joecliffordson 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      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 TH-cam 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
