It's a gaslighting term for having healthy work boundaries. Some peeps are saying 'there goes your promotion' and I'm like 'there goes your mental health and critical thinking skills'
What these people really want to say is, "We want to have a servile class who exists to do all the work while we get all the rewards."
@@saadishsnake that is exactly it, and when that class decided to move away from that bullshit, a long with well over a million deaths and they’re like “no one wants to work :(“ bitch! Ppl are tired of being worked like slaves and LOTS of people DIED.
This news outlets is government shill.
'there goes your mental health and critical thinking skills' - exactly what I say to people about to have kids... except in a much nicer way.
@@Haywa11 LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
Joshua nailed it- people quiet quit AFTER their "going the extra mile" wasn't recognized and those who are slackers get the promotions.
Happened at my work, the worker doing the worse in term of points is now the manager, haha.
Yup that’s what I did and then I quit
@@jazcc same
Saw MY WORK on a giant screen during an all-hands meeting. They didn’t even change the colors or fonts. Then said they had no idea where the project originally came from. It was ALL PURPLE. They didn’t wait around for the final project. Took what I had & ran with it.
“Quiet Quit” is not quite descriptive enough. I silently stopped working for that company at that very moment.
@@DarkbutNotsinister Too bad you didn’t speak up and say, “I did that!” Then later talk with management privately about recognition and a raise.
Company: “Can you work more and get paid less?”
Me: “No.”
Company: “Lazy Quiet Quitter!!”
Company: "Lazy Quiet Quitter!!"
Me: "After years of hardwork, I finally got the title I always sought of. NICEE"
Boss: I'm going to need you to spend money directly out of your pocket, that we won't reimburse while taking a pay cut to do more work.
ME: No
Boss: I don't understand why you make some of the choices you do.
Thank you 😄

The other workers:
Whirlwinds of danger are raging around us,
O'erwhelming forces of darkness assail,
Still in the fight see advancing before us,
Red flag of liberty that yet shall prevail.
Then forward you workers, freedom awaits you,
O'er all the world on the land and the sea.
On with the fight for the cause of humanity.
March, march you toilers and the world shall be free.
Brothers and sisters in hunger are calling,
Shall we be silent to their sorrow and woe?
While in the fight see our comrades are falling,
Up then united and conquer the foe!
Off with the crown of the tyrants of evil!
Down in the dust with the prince and the peer!
Strike off your chains, sons and daughters of labor!
Wake all humanity, for victory is near.
Then forward you workers, freedom awaits you,
O'er all the world on the land and the sea.
On with the fight for the cause of humanity.
March, march you toilers and the world shall be free.
Thank you Gen Z. We have been exploited & burnt out for years, and you are teaching these corporate goons by setting the boundaries that we havent been able to keep up for years.
Yes and it is just the beginning. Since Industrial revolution Corporates have been Exploiting Generations of workers...Not anymore.
And That news anchor is an Indian lady working for a govt Propaganda channel...we know her manipulative words.
but tbh genZ is stupid too...i am a genZ btw
@@boltez6507 but the question is, are boomers not stupid? if you ever worked corporate and worked next to boomers, you'll realize boomers are just as stupid if not more.
Really?
I'm gen X and I've been doing quiet quitting most of my working career. It has a name now but when I discovered it was work-life balance.
First two years of my career thought me that employers don't care about me, I'm disposable and they aren't loyal.
So I started practicing exactly the same religion.
@@boltez6507 every generation is stupid to some extent in one or the other way tbh. This time it is tik tok wannabes & only fans bs
This isn't quiet quitting. This is working. Just...working. According to what you agreed in a contract. You're not quitting.
@Joe Forge isn’t it related to the Italian strike?
UPD:
I just figured out, that in English it’s called Work-to-rule
Contract? Most people in the US don't have contracts. Maybe they do where you are.
@@YouSoundButtHurt really? I thought in countries like US everyone works by contract
Well you can quit my not showing up at work. There is no point in the employer chasing you up because its expensive and time consuming in legal fees.
@@Bagasl Nope, I've never had a contract for any job.
Apparently I've been quiet quiting since I was 10 and realized that if I put extra effort into certain things I'd just be rewarded with more work.
I thought i was the only one.
With the same pay.
It also screws over everyone else. They look at the top performer and expect the same results from everyone else. The top performer becomes the new standard.
@@Raickei until the top performer moves on to a new organization and sets new lower standard. employees need to stick together and set reasonable work output levels. not too lazy but also not working like a dog on a treadmill whole shift and giving the stinkeye to anyone going to the lunch room to grab a coffee or taking a proper break. i have been at some weird places as well.
I learned pretty young that C's get you promoted to the next grade just as well as A's and B's but with fair less toil 🤭
Quiet quitting is a re-branding of a century old thing called "Italian strike" that is when each and every employee starts working strictly by the book not a minute more while meticulously adhering to every formal or safety procedure there is.
I recently learned about sabotage guidelines developed by the us govt and distributed in occupied France Italy etc during WW2. Italian Strikes, yes, and lots of other ways of undermining production time and quality. I’m not saying modern capitalist corporations are nazis but we the workers sure as fuck have been conquered and occupied. Some sabotage is entirely justified IMO.
That is called "malicious compliance" and I love it.
Cool, i didn't know that definition, and it describes exactely how i began to work after i recently became aware that my efforts on the job are not acknowledged at all but get blasted every time a problem occours. Fun thing is that Im italian, so Im just on strike lmaooo
"Work the contract" was what my granddad called it. He was a union worker for GM.
I work as an RN. If we did everything by the book, which I did ONCE, it results in 16 hr days of non stop running ! So, now I cut every corner possible 👍
Fun fact; She quit her job after this video was aired.
The irony lol
Today's favor becomes tomorrow's expectation.
I had the same "extra mile" mentality. I thought that would help me in the long run, but my mental health suffered instead. I quit and learned to play the game without killing myself over work.
same, i quit doing that and always i use to wondered why everyone was so slow lol. The harder i worked i did not get rewarded for it
Could you tell me what did you learn from the game or some lessons you can share?
@@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.
@@YewJackOSRS Thanks dude.
Exactly, that project you go above and behond for... means the next project will be planned as you would go above and behond again, so to go above and behond, you would need to do even more. It only stops when you stop going above and behond, so you shouldn't begin in the first place.
"Quiet Quitting" is literally "I am doing my job." lmfao
Haha yeah... im doing my job as per work contract that defines what my job is. 😄
Young people please don't start a family or get pregnant at this time. Companies/Government/organizations have no loyalty to employees they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Governments are also increasing authoritarianism while helping the Globalist elites to consolidate all wealth/power including by creating MASS inflation using money supply increase. To ensure no slavery like life, girls should remember to take the birth control pill daily and both guy/girl should use protection and consider Tubal Ligation which is a quick procedure. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. The system in all countries ks getting worse now and children born now will suffer. Imagine your child living in a technically advanced meaning more brutal total surveillance Communist or dictatorship style society as that is the planned future if you choose to have kids. So by having children you are purposely causing them to be born to a life of suffering for your own selfishness in a way.
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. Remember that employers have all the power here, we can only adjust.
@@jeffthompson1869 🤣 The best way to get raises or promotions is to go to another company.
Indian work culture is about toiling away and not getting paid. I am 30. I never heard of quite quitting as a terminology; however, i have been practicing it since my second job. My first job drained me, made me feel worthless. When I put my papers down, my boss said i am not hireable. That's an extremely demeaning noun. Today, I earn in 6 digits.
That news anchor and channel are very biased, just like most media houses these days. I hope people won't take them seriously.
Yeah. For most of the Indians, either First or second jobs are draining. They squeeze as much as they can with low payment.
You said it. I got drained out during my 3rd and 4th jobs as I wanted to "step on the gas" in my career. It wasn't worth it. I developed minor but chronic health issues, and the jump wasn't commensurate since the company moved on to other priority areas soon.
Dude u sound exactly like those scam products commercial in TV. I was like this before, Then i started using this & tada now look, i am so much better than before.
@@amalsooraj4256 I'm sorry for not phrasing my comment in a way that's more digestible to you. However, your observation is irrelevant because I'm not promoting a product, I'm just talking about my career so far in one a few lines. No matter how I sound to you, this is an experience most people have. Working at a large firm for a shitty pay and then being told that you are insincere and insubordinate when you put down your papers after giving them a few years and more than 10 hours a day, is a common experience. I did end up securing a second job where i earned slightly more, and then a third and fourth job, and finally the fifth one that pays me enough to comfortably sustain a family of 4 people and 2 dogs. Sounds like a scammer? Okay.
@@AjayKumar-hh6hx Nope not a scammer but for a guy who earns in lakhs, definitely sounds juvenile. U had hard times, still pushed yourself up to this current position, but still bitter about the past one. I would hv seen those hard days has great experience to molden myself for today.
I got laid off twice during Covid even as a top performer who did go above and beyond. So now you get the loyalty you give
This reminds me of the “checkers” on Facebook and Twitter the last two years.
“Living a normal well balanced life is actually NOT good for you. Here’s why”
THOSE folks. "Setting your life on fire is GOOD, actually..."
Ugh.
Lol

I can't stand people who call me lazy when they aren't giving me any money. Mind your own F'in business.
Exactly, if you ain't signing my paycheck then STFU
Imagine shaming a hooker or prostitute for "quiet quitting"
After the time is up you demand she stay longer and do more without any additional money. If she demands more, you accuse her of being a lazy slacker.
Doesnt that sound insane? The same should apply to all jobs
I'm stealing this and selling the Hooker Shaming Model to corporate to evaluate employee performance.
Wtf is this example 😅
Sounds like a weird kink but to each their own :D
This definitely applies more to all the moral prostitutes that enslave us and defraud us for parasite state's a.k.a. Uncle Scam's fun and profit.. pretty sweet tax slave colony though?)/*
😂😂😂😂
"Managers can tell when your work is dropping from before"
So unironically what I am hearing is that dont overly raise your productivity when you start as that is what most ppl do and managers use that as a baseline of what they can squeeze out of you.
Thanks, message recieved!
@Thomas B SUCH good advice, I agree!
meanwhile a CEO comes in at 10 AM and checks out at 1 PM
Let's not forget "Quiet Demotions", which is when companies don't give their employees yearly cost of living increases (let alone raises) for the exact same job, thus ensuring that the employee's purchasing power is reduced year after year.
Start your own biz, hire your pals and show the world how it's done.
That's more of a societal thing. We're expected to do the same workload for less compensation year after year to offset problems like aging populations and resource depletion without governments or billionaires having to adjust their spending habits.
Well said!
@@AFuller2020 lol none of these chuds could handle all the problems of managing other people
@@seeibe Well, that societal model is about to collapse, and it's going to take a _lot_ of folks with it. I personally feel like what we're seeing now are merely the opening symptoms of what will play out to be the single largest economic catastrophe of modern times, surpassing even the Great Depression in terms of severity. We're talking the very real possibility of mass poverty and starvation in _first-world_ countries.
I did "Quiet Quit" one job and it was after management didn't honor my boarding agreement. I worked for 1 year towards a goal and when I got there my manager moved the goal post. Instead of letting them keep doing that I just went to the basic job description and stopped doing extras. I did that for 6 months before they called me out and I left. If companies don't want to pay a fair wage then be prepared for people to stop going above and beyond.
next time, enjoy your unemployed "vacation".. stick it to the "man", f@ck Uncle Scam!)/*
Perfect
No wage is "fair" but I see your point.
@@jghifiversveiws8729 actually there is but you have to be able to ask for it and the employer needs to honor it. Fair wage is a salary that you feel is sufficient to compensate you for your skill, knowledge, and experience while supporting your lifestyle. It only exists to those that are honest about it.
Thanks for calling out this corporate + media BS! Back in 2010 my first boss told me that "no one fires anyone anymore, they just make it impossible for you to stay". So quiet quitting may be a new thing but quiet firing is certainly not!
I remember working for a factory some years ago, guy had figured out a way to reinvent their logistics layout in the building because he was bored on his machine. Ended up saving them about 600k annually.
What did he get for it? a 25$ gift card.
Yip, same in my job.
im sure he bought a nice "quiet quit" card with those $25 !
Exactly why I don't share that unless there is compensation
You gotta tell them the results and give a vague description about how you can make it happen. If they like it, have them sign a contract for a fair compensation (60% paid upfront, remaining 40% paid upon delivery). If they don't want to sign and pay, they don't get the promised result. Bonus points if you're able to contact someone more senior and tell the plan to them and that the first people are aware that they're losing money and not fixing it.
Wtf are they supposed to compensate him
NEVER do what's more expected of you unless you are an owner or work on provision. Lesson I've learned through my 3 year old career so far, nobody cares about your wellbeing other than yourself :)
Yes, this exactly. why is there not more encouragement for employees being part of the company? then they can ask what they want of people and it would be a genuine team effort. this constant us and them mentality always seems the default and never made sense - unless the idea is to gaslight people all the time into productivity, or if many jobs are just fake jobs to keep people busy, and the division needs to be kept intact.
So true!
Glad you learned. Took me 20 years to learn that. Finally I was an inch away from panic attacks and breakdowns and just said "screw it" and lived off my savings for a bit. Not smart, but I got a chance to figure out what I wanted to do. Still haven't gotten there yet, but I'm allowing myself to take the time to get there. I have a part time job I have to fight the urge to go above and beyond for sometimes (I work with kids mostly in a structured environment, so you can't deviate much), but I eventually learned that I'm not doing anyone any favors--especially myself--if I don't listen to myself and what I really need.
@@tallyp.7643 sorry bro.
Took me around 10 years to figure it out.. no one is worried about my well being but me.. if I go above and beyond its gonna lead people to ask me to do their job so they can slack off.
I do what I'm paid to do. Period. If they don't like it they shouldn't have signed the contract. The same way I wouldn't have signed the contract if I didn't like the pay.
Work on Provision?, like Logistics?
I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone work harder than everyone else and get passed up for promotion by management. Many companies don't want to sacrifice that person's productivity in that role when they can promote someone else who knows the job but isn't as proficient in that individual task.
Exactly!
Another factor is that when you have groups of humans working together there will be internal politics, favoritism, and biases. I've been in on conversations about whether to promote a person or not and honestly sometimes it came down to if the senior member of management liked them or not. Promotions are not solely based on merit or productivity.
@@davispatricks5453 yep.. that's why my manager says.. that I need to show off my work.
The Dilbert Priciple. A funny book by Scott Adams ... "leadership is nature's way of removing morons from the productive flow" - Adams
It's not "quiet quitting" it's setting a boundary that we pre-negotiated when you hired me. I've had plenty of jobs I went above and beyond, like working on weekends and holidays, guess what? I was let go from one and denied promotion on another. Wow. I worked my ass off, no social life, no hobbies and they "rewarded" me like this? Nah. I'm doing only what you paid for and if you fire me. Great. People annoyed at this: Here is a comparison. I give you a Macbook pro. But you wanted Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. I tell you, fine but it's extra money. Now you're mad at me for not giving you more software FOR FREE.
You nailed it 💯 bravo
That's because showing off productivity of self desperation for a promotion is seen as week an desperate. Even the bible tells you not to do that. Trying to impress someone isn't giving you favors. Backfires.
You get more points when you work humbly an with no self interest to yourself passing other's. You also fail to see that when you are fascinated with a position ? It can backfire as well. Planning doesn't go as planned. That's why many scheme an lie, backstab to get in higher positions. Women use sex, ect .
yup that's what it is
I like to think of it as "acting your wage."
I like the "quiet quitting and prostitutes" example someone else made even more. That was hilarious.
But yes, you're right.
I was one of those 'fools' that used to go the extra mile on Jobs; I know it's an anecdote, but I witnessed first hand how people who go the extra mile can be exploited by management while others who do the bare minimum and try to get away with less than 'that', are left alone. 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. An old friend of mine used to use the saying " people will whip the willing horse ", only now, years later do I fully understand how that can play out.
I was one of those fools too for over 2 years. Early this year, I had to have a an outpatient procedure performed and was advised by the physician to take true rest time. When I tell you, I only got 1.5 days of true rest before I was asked to login and complete requests for auditors. Stayed there about 1 more month and haven't looked back since.
If you work hard, you get rewarded with more work. You don’t get promoted. The people who suck up to the boss while you do all the work get promoted. Being on time and doing a good job have nothing to do with promotion. As a matter of fact, they want to keep the hard workers where they are, preventing problems and making the bosses look good, so they can take credit.
I worked with a guy (hourly job, daily OT after 8 hours) who used to work slow and would take home gigantic checks. If i was a manager and i saw that, I would want that guy in leadership. If he can make that much money off me, imagine how much he can make for me.
Ppl who bust ass always get extra work dumped on their plate bc companies know they are pushovers, and they never get promoted bc they will do the work of 3 ppl themseleves, so it would make no sense financially to lose that from your staff.
A job is for making money, no more, no less.
@@genxx2724 100% truth. I use to assign work cases with the manager. She blatantly would say that whoever was doing good work got extra. Don't excel at work, it's a trap to become overworked for no benefit while the lazy guy gets nearly nothing cause that's all they can handle and you're doing the work of 3 for the same pay.
@@grazynawolska8160 Damn, she actually said that! Thanks for sharing.
As a friend once told me, "if the minimum wasn't good enough, it wouldn't be the minimum".
Wise words. Gonna remember them.
Great point. Remind me of some stupid director I worked for who said not being early for a meeting was actually being late. If it starts at 8, it starts at 8, not 7:50!
Brilliant.
I hope you feel the same way with your plumber or painter, I doubt.
@@AFuller2020 If that is a problem for you, then pay plumbers and painters what they are worth and raise the minimum to a standard that you find acceptable. If your acceptable standard is high quality work, then pay the men for it and they will give you that high quality work. Conversely, try telling your plumber/painter to work overtime on saturday for free and see how much that gets you.
I recently got let go from a company that works directly for DoD. I was 4 months into my 6-month probationary period when I was terminated. I routinely worked through breaks and lunches to get more accomplished and to pick up slack from the disabled and other physically less-capable (e.g. morbidly obese) employees. Managers and workers from other sections routinely complimented me on my work ethic and attitude. Then I was pulled into my manager's office one day, told to sign a termination notice and that was that. I asked why I was being let go and was given the "not a good fit" boilerplate BS.
Moral of the story: you can do everything right, be a top performer, and still get 💩canned at any moment. I agree 💯 with quiet quitting.
Yep. And even if you don't get fired you can work there for years, having exemplary service. Going above and beyond in all aspects, and then have 1 just bad day, and suddenly the bad day is the standard you will always get compared to.
Furthermore they never compensate you for your services properly." Oh we see you are going above and beyond. Working extra hours for not much extra pay. Taking over where you can, etc, etc. Here is a gift card worth 25$, aren't we nice for recognizing your hard work?
@@MyAramil there was a Popeyes employee who worked 25 years or some shit and got a $25 gift card for his services
This shouldn't be called "Quiet Quitting", you're actually doing your work! Unless the employer pays you more when you do more.
Some of us actually quit..)/* I'll slack.. no point making pigs, judges and dickstreet atwhoreknees fat of my labor, while sponsoring my own enslavement.. they can suck my chub at this point..
Ya man....its like media just indlated this ficking thing
I'm quiet quitting right now! I got tired of my experience being an excuse for companies to abuse me; moving me around to struggling departments, changing my schedule, extending my hours. I got tired of being a "Yes Man" and continually feeling manipulated. A simple "Thanks for your help" doesn't cut it for me anymore.
Or pizza party
Did same a month ago. Being the calm, patient, smart, hardworking one on a low pay was disgusting for a year or so.
I'm currently going through this at my current employer. Went above and beyond where even customers were speaking up. It was well known the extents I was going for the company as a sacrifice to myself, because that's what you're "supposed" to do to get the raise. Prove yourself. I did and got stiffed by those that are now doing less because I was expected to continue to do more for the same pay. Everyone else's plates got smaller, while mine became overloaded for the same pay. If I was paid, I wouldn't complain. Only those with nothing left but time in life or if they already have money will claim "money isn't everything." Well ok then Joe schmoe how about give me two dollars of your pay if money isn't everything to you. No? Oh well isn't that ripe.
How about a pizza party? 🤣
I have to admit that all my life I have been one of those that went "above and beyond." I have never felt appreciated, so I have decided to just do my job. It actually feels alright. Yup, working from home in my pajamas, and if I need to put on a polo or nice shirt for a meeting, so be it. Enjoying life.
Relatable. I remember when I used to go above and beyond at my jobs until I saw that all it got in the long run was a raise for someone else and me with lasting back pain. You want above and beyond? Pay me above and beyond rate. Simple as that.
@@thrasherwartooth Yes!! So true
Life goals right here. I have to fight the urge to go "above and beyond" because I've done it for more than 20 years. But I have to find what I want to do and do the best I can for me, because no one else will.
And besides, my pets need me to stay alive and mentally sound-ish. Won't help if I drop dead from stress or get frequent panic attacks. I gave up when my hair started getting brittle and graying at a rapid rate. Now I'm learning skills to work from home, because I should enjoy this home I created to be my little haven, not just some place to sleep and eat between shifts.
First rule of doing extra: make sure everybody knows that you are doing it and it's actually appreacuated. Otherwise do not bother. It's still does not guarantee anything but at least it's known thing that you are the person of that type, hoping somebody notice is stupid and rarely work. Brag about it without bragging out it sort of.
You sound like a real credit to society
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.
Quiet Quitting is a non-movement because it's not really quitting. You're just doing what is expected and that's fine. If you want to be appreciated as an employee, then actually quit and go get a better deal somewhere else. There are plenty of stories of people saving companies hundreds of thousands of dollars, and not getting rewarded for it. Reward those companies by leaving.
Well, I don't care how i'm portrayed in the medias.
I'm doing my job, and that's about it. No more trying to take initiative for a company who does not value me anyway.
Work is not my life. I'm willing to do more for things that will have a direct benefit to me but not for something where my pay won't go up if I do more.
Cheering you on! Same boat.
Yep
Same here
Maybe her editor were quiet quitting and she got pissed.......
When I went to high school, I was told if you get good grades you'll go to a great university.
In uni I was told, if I get good grades I'll be able to network and get a good career.
If I do well at my career I was told, I'll get promoted.
The fact of the matter is these guarantees of old don't exist anymore. And now that people realize that, they are only willing to do things if they are in writing / guaranteed so they can have the courts behind them. And good on them. Office Space put it best, if I work extra hard and my company ships another 10,000 units, I don't see a dime. Why should I care? There's no motivation.
That's how I have been fooled all my life. Thinking about it makes me sad. How delusional and gulliable I was! Don't know my way out tbh. I'm stuck.
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 wish I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have worker half has hard as I did in hs
I went above and beyond at work, I was told by a coworker that I was the most productive person in the team, and when there was an opening in another department I was denied the position they told me they needed a senior for the position and they went ahead and hired a guy with no experience at all they had to train him for the position. I just quit, started working on my business and now I am ready to do it full time because it is generating more than enough to take care of myself and my family. I guess denying the position was the best thing they have done for me while working for them.
What's your new business?
Its hard trying to get someone who doesnt care to care, but its even harder trying to get someone who used to care to care again.
I work in a company and I'm being paid almost equal to what my manager do. Change jobs and upgrade yourself. Don't die working for a company
Had a boss tell me that I'd be eligible for a 4% raise after putting in extra hours for my yearly quota after a year. I went and got another job with a 30% raise. Put in notice about a week after hearing that first news. Companies have to be able to compete to stay solvent.
This dude Fluke missed the point. He got triggered because he's doing the same thing. The point was not, to kill yourself for a company work. The point was to be normally generous at a moral stand point of a job.
We have managers who only demand what you do now a days. But don't put the effort in Leading, Listening an training. In other words..? Lazy !

Last year, did my bosses job for 6 months plus my own(he resigned). Guess what I got on the yearly review? "Meets Expectations" and a 3% 'cost of living increase. I now have an up to date resume and use that time promptly at 5pm onward to improve my skills.
I hope you land a job you’re happy with and a company that appreciates you.
Well duh, the expectations were for you to do two jobs for the pay off one. Stop being so greedy! /s
Well it hurts.... but you have experience to get a better paying job now. Just up those skills and you'll get it. Consider this job training.
At least you got a cost of living increase. My last job of 7 years never gave us a cost of living increase but you better believe they raised the cost of our insurance that came out of our paychecks each year.
All these "Quiet Quitting" headlines have been driving me absolutely nuts! I'm sorry Mr. "Boss." I don't like giving you complete control over my life! You DON'T get to sit there and keep asking more of me without offering more pay in return! You DON'T get to *STEAL* my weekends and evenings simply because you didn't hire enough people!
No. It's not "quiet quitting." It's drawing a line in the sand that says "salary does not mean slavery."
That news anchor is an Indian lady working for a govt Propaganda channel...we know her manipulative words
I did like 230 % more than expected from me. I got an amazing piece of paper saying thanks. :D I fixed issues higher ups did was told I was correct, got nothing, and keep eyes out for dangerous and things and mishaps. Which we were supposed to get bonuses for doing all of that, got nothing. Just kinda' annoyed my manager I think from messaging them about issues I saw. Work your wage, use the system for you, they get everything. They get free monies all the time from the govt. While I kill my body to get stuff done for people, and can't even live alone. Disabled already, but can't stop working.
I don’t understand people who are so excited over getting such a piece of paper appreciation. I have colleagues like that. I used to tell them, pieces of paper are cheap. They don’t remember you ten years later. If they give money, then it’s possibly somewhat sincere since it hurts a company to have to give you money.
Maybe people will return to “hustle culture” when a company’s idea of employee appreciation goes beyond ice cream, pizza, and meaningless awards.
Doubt it though.

Found myself in this situation very recently. I was working long hours to meet deadlines, mentoring juniors and leading a project as a junior myself while being promised promotions for a year without them delivering. I ended up “quiet quitting” aka doing what I should’ve in the first place for my last 6 months before quitting.
When I quit, my manager had a mini meltdown saying I betrayed him and he’d have to pick up work on that project. How about saying thanks very much for delivering 2 positions above my hired position for 18 months asshole!
The ridiculous part is that both him and his manager said if I wasn’t happy to get a job elsewhere.
They never fully appreciate you until you leave.
My boss said to me "if you don't clean up your act, we'll know what happens." I said "I guess we both do." She was speechless. This was after she hired me for a job in which the job specifications were completely different than what the actual work was and changing my schedule to one I didn't agree to.
Sounds like a narcisstic manager. It`s a job, you are not doing charity nor favours to your best friend there. Quite inappropriate to use such terms as "betraying them". Give me a break! Especially if they didn`t care about your wellbeing or promotion. When it comes to "betrayals", who really betrayed who eh?
"meltdown" not your problem if you quit. His problem only
They say that to scare you into staying and putting up with their bs, not because they actually expect you to leave.
Karen didn't get the memo, if you hired me to wash dishes, don't expect me to cook and wait tables too. Most companies expect this mentality. They seem to forget that employees are hired for a role, you should not expect that they will do someone else's job with no added benefit (in the form of that green, money of course, but some will take weed too) You hit the nail on the head, I have left a few jobs "quiet quit" for the exact reasons of working my ass off and do things I was not responsible for only for nothing. Oh, look someone else who did shit got that lead or manager position. - nuff said.
Dude, I’ve felt this way when I was working in the architecture industry. I’m so glad that people are wishing up to this.

architecture is a trap dude, i am currently in the process of shifting
@@chriszin94 same, aside from problematic co-workers, even the clients would sometimes sabotage you to F-up the deadlines (and then they will delay payments to pressure you and the subcontractors into working more while being paid less)
"If you're not satisfied with your work, talk to your manager."
Me: Nope. I don't trust the managers, or everyone at work.
Definitely not
I learned that the hard way. It's a great way to put a target on your back. Just keep your mouth shut and start looking for better work.
Do not draw attention to yourself.
Talk to a hiring manager, more like.
Or yourself.
I think you can apply Newtons third law by saying, the quiet quitting phenomenon is a reaction to "your hard work and the extra hours you put in will never be acknowledged" phenomenon.
Heck, you might even get fired for it so why do it
So... quiet quitting = doing what you are actually hired for = gets you fired bc you don't do what they expect you to do / not enough.
Wow! It all makes sense now!
Amen brother! Subscribed!!
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.
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.
@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.
You'll succeed and you'll wish you did it sooner :) all the best
it's unfortunate but those are the breaks, if hard work paid off slaves(most workers) would be the rich not their owners(execs), and the slaves that died making the pyramid would be given credit not the Pharaoh's who sat on their butts

"You get what you give." Tell that to my wife. She's a geologist, sent out to hot, dusty fields for months on end dealing with complex military contracts. She's consistently praised by clients as the "best geologist we've ever worked with." And, and, and gets a 1% raise every other year from a billion dollar company. No extra perks. No pension. No runs, no hits, but lots of errors. So once I earned enough to get her out they FINALLY offered her a raise. She said piss off to them. All I'm waiting for is this lady to say, "this segment paid for by (insert corporate monster)..."

Quiet quitting is the way, I see why GenZ are quitting, they have way more balls then I do.
Josh your videos are always on point!
These people are nuts
Quiet Quitting, for most, ends up being "acting like your salary/wage". There is very little reason to act outside your expected boundaries especially if it is not rewarded (which is usually the case).
Workers are no longer subservient cogs in a machine who need to eat out of an employers hand. They're free agents equipped with technical skills that can find the opportunities best suited for them.
Yeah but when you come in late because your dog is sick than you should get a pass
Yeah, if you want me to do extra, and take extra responsibilities, then come back with official paper that says I'll be paid more and then we can figure it out. That's the problem, high-ups dont have a respect towards workers, they try to push extra work on them and act like its alright. If you start doing the extra, you got fooled and now have to keep doing extra for the same pay, if you dont, you are going to get fired later at downsizing, and maybe someone new they get will be foolish enough to do extra for no benefit, rinse n repeat.
Always remember that you're a business in the business of selling your time to businesses. Businesses would not lift a finger to do any work beyond the bare minimum required and neither should yours.
👆message me directly on ....
She fits the perfect description of an unhappy bare minimum quiet quitting worker. Her delivery is unmotivated, low energy, and totally unconvincing.
This is total gaslighting from middle managers who are clearly under pressure to micromanage people to death to justify their jobs. Even though I'm a product manager, I do help mentor people, provide help on other projects, etc. that are outside of my general expected work. However, i do set boundaries. If that makes me a "quiet quitter" then I don't care. My mental health is more important. I've worked at companies where I literally did the bare minimum because my boss was a total jerk.
If someone asks for me extra help that is a favor. Therefore whether or not i do it should not affect my position w the company. The reason so many companies are cross training is bc they cannot fill positions consistently.
I do the bare minimum regardless because I don’t care about those stupid work social events and potlucks! Yet my coworkers swamped me into planning one 🤦🏾♀️ If I don’t participate then it could affect my performance evaluation because there’s a section about “innovation” changing or improving processes something like that
New bosses want to make their mark. If everything is already running smoothly, they turn the screws and say, “we’re good, but we can be EVEN BETTER.”

Regarding the "talk to your manager" talking point...
I talked to my manager about being overworked and suggested multiple ways to help my situation.
NOTHING was done and during my mid-year review I was condescendingly talked down to for not handling my increased workload.
I quit that job and dont have any regrets
Common story, manager wants to appear great by reducing headcount which means assigning multiple people's jobs to one person and then complains when 1 person can't do 4 peoples jobs. My response to it has always been to be "too busy" to deal with the new duties, when manager complains, point out the things I am taking care of and ask which ones are they happy to fail. I then continue to not do the new duties, even if they demand it, what are they going to do? Fire me? Then they'd have to assign 5 people's jobs to one person and 4 to 1 just failed.
Story of my life, the solution of my manager was to "decrease quality and increase output". At the next review he complained that the quality of the work was low....
I wonder how many companies lose high performers because that person’s professional pride won’t let them do the half-assed job that the manager has made necessary by giving them the work of 2 or 3 people.
Same thing happened here bro 😁😁😆
I was hired to be a life guard, they've also made me a janitor which is also illegal and dangerous. But having the life guards who only get paid $10 an hour do the work of janitors who get paid $15 an hour saves them a lot of money.
Well said, Joshua!

Thank you for covering this, Josh. I saw this report when it came out and nearly spat out my coffee at the fearmongering WION was engaging in. She literally sounds like a character out of "Office Space" with this BS.
Wion is same as FOX news. Non-Indians think Wion is criticizing America and China , then it's good. But It has it's own agenda of silencing the criticism coming towards India and showing foreign countries in bad light. It's the International face of the right-wing ZEE news media which is biased towards the ruling party in India.
Awesome work
keep up the great work, love the channel.
A place I worked at, a casino, cut back on staff from five cashiers to three. One of my coworkers noticed that no matter how fast he worked, it wouldn't make a dent in the length of the line, so he decided to chat with every customer and relax. The company never shows up in person to see what affect their decisions make, they put in software that isn't fully complete, they refuse to pay for cleaners even beyond the bare minimum. Casinos just rake in cash. Worn out carpets, loan sharks free to roam, very slow computers, rats and mice - the decision makers don't see anything but the deposit.
Same thing happening at my job. My co-worker goes to therapy and is on meds. Her therapist said, “I support doing a day’s work for a day’s pay, but they’ve got you doing two people’s work every day.” We shouldn’t be stressed all day and leave drained, barely able to get home and eat. Weekends shouldn’t be spent exhausted, vegging on the couch, recovering for Monday.
Same thing happened to me everywhere. Always start very productive. I'm work ridiculously faster than my peers. Until you realize you can never really fix a broken system. You just got to ride with it.
Years ago, I worked as a cashier at a supermarket. They encouraged the cashiers to speed up and cash-out more customers every hour. Don't be the people who are scanning and bagging as fast as they can for the monthly $20 gift card. Not worth it. Let them wear themselves out. Go normal speed. There was always randomness anyways. No matter how fast you went, there would always be some grandmother taking 2 minutes looking for pennies in her change purse to pay the bill, the check-writers, or always someone who 'oops! I picked up the crunchy peanut butter by mistake - I wanted the smooth. Hold here while I go back in the aisles and get the right one', or some coupon-nut who buys 300 items and has 300 coupons that take 45 minutes to cash out. You can't win. The metrics don't account for any of that.
Yall should have called on them from a pay phone
@@brooksfire9580 What they ought to have is every check stand open, and baggers bagging everything quickly, properly, and putting it in the customer’s trunk if desired. That’s the way it used to be. That said, I’ve seen cashiers who were so slow at scanning, the cashiers who had to key in every price years ago were faster. Scanners eliminated any need for skill, and it should be fast.
Agreed "do what you paid for & openly define your boundaries"
I did this from day 1 & encourage my team mates to do the same. My clients are happy with my work so is my manager.
Remember what you allow will continue
ive worked in several countries, and learned real quick to let one's employer know that if they are more than 1 day late on my paycheck, that I simply wont work any more days until im paid. ive heard horror stories of people working for up to 3 months without pay...only to find out later that the business goes out of business and they worked 3 months for free !!!
IF A BUSINESS ISNT PAYING YOU ON TIME:
1) they could be having cash flow problems, and you need to be aware of that.
2) their accounting/pay dept is too incompetent to keep up with employee paychecks, which shows a lack of professionalism. warn them to "do their job, or you are outta there".
3) as #2, but the senior/supervisory staff isnt handling the problem with enough seriousness that is merited.

1. Have a full year's worth of expenses in your emergency fund. 3-6 months imo is not enough. In fact, since most savings accounts are insured up to $250k, I say feed that emergency fund up to that.
2. Have a side hustle.
3. Go into every job with an exit plan as Josh suggests. Keep applying for jobs even after you accept an offer. This allows you to CHOOSE your next job rather than SETTLE for one.
4. Stop caring what other people think; your boss doesn't determine who you are as a person.
5. Consistently change jobs. Besides increasing your pay, you expand your network and the breath of fresh air is good for you imo.

Also, it can be healthy to be disengaged from your job. I used to be super angry because clients and coworkers made changes to my designs that I didn't like. Being disengaged from work allowed me to be less stressed and focus on the stuff I actually had control over, which were my personal projects outside of work. I assume the clients and coworkers liked that I didn't try to stop them from producing crap anymore.

You're so right bro
I've asked dozens of senior citizens, both wealthy and middle income, about any regrets about life. Every single one said they wished they made more time for relationships and fun.
I believe they had the best opportunity to spend more time on things they want. The younger generation on the other hand, not as much. I wouldn't regret not spending more time on things I want later in life because I CAN'T IN THE FIRST PLACE.
@@edthelazyboy I don’t think anyone ever has.
@@edthelazyboy You don't know that. You are assuming a lot about generations before yours.
@@clovisgauthier3602 I know that I can't more spend time on things I want to do with the people I want to be with. If the senior citizens can say that they regret not spending more time on relationships and fun, then they are admitting that they had the opportunities but chose not to take it. Myself along with many others like me don't have such opportunities to even regret missing in the first place. I would be glad if I can regret about these missed opportunities when I get older.
Also, you can't deny that the younger generation have to cope with many expenses like housing and education that are escalating in cost much faster than inflation in light of relatively stagnant wages.

"you might not get a raise" ... she's speaking to ppl who have worked hard and seen how corporate values hard work. 50 cent raise after 2 years. Yeah no thanks. There are things out of your control. If management likes you, personally, likes your personality, thinks you're attractive, or that you look like a leader. Then they make it easier for u to promote and get raises. There is favoritism as awful as it is to admit.
I did an experiment with my employer once. I quietly got a significant part of a scheduled project done in my spare time. I didn't tell anyone. Then, I turned that work in and it appeared as if I did 2 weeks worth of work in zero time. I waited to see if the manager would notice... NOPE. Not a word.
Yep exactly. I did the same thing and not a word.

Good Work Man for highlighting these issues!
glad to see someone criticising on real logical grounds
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.
That sucks.
In Germany the probation period cannot exceed 6 months by law.
Companies will lie to you because it's cheaper to have new workers under probation. Of course, they don't know that this will impact them negatively in the long run. And then they complain saying there are not enough workers in the market. It just means not the "perfect" candidate with superman skills willing to accept the slave pay.
There's a difference in the extra mile an quite quiting.
This generation is the laziest an selfintitled. You work what's nessasery an ad extra help when needed as a moral ground.
Working the extra usually backfires because you make the othe people depend on you're effort. The key is Honesty working. The balance of life. Do what you have to do, but no be a puss-over
Or show desperation for a position of Job, trying to earn extra points to be promoted. This backfires. Even the bible tells you this.

The definition of entitled, which is defined as to give someone a right to do something for little to no work.
All this is also done by design. You take the feminist an betas screening b*** to another nation ? They'll cry. I took a friend with me to South America dude came back Humbled as hell. That's why many foreigners value work, an liberty to achieve. This is what happens when people have to much freedom to choice to be a roach if they feel like it or bud.
“It is healthy to spend time with family, unhealthy to sign out at 5 even if there’s pending work”
Good lord! 🤦🏿♂️
If corporate gaslighting was a person, it’ll be that woman.

As Joshua has said, if the work can’t get done between 8 and 5, that’s a management issue. They need to hire more people.
@@genxx2724 exactly clock out 8 hours bye, rest gets done next day
@@Ligerpride even we Indians don't follow that BS. Sorry 🙄. Those days are gone and that's what they're mad about 😂. The old school corporations who like to "own" every hour of your day. She's just relaying that mentality sadly. People are woke in terms of jobs nowadays atleast jobs which require soft skills than hard labour. Hard labour isn't even supportive of humans sadly. That's why I'll not talk about THAT dark side.😏.
I love this channel so much 😂
For a little less than 2 years I’ve stepped up at my company due to some major losses. Was in control of 4 different departments at once. My president would constantly make new requests that were nothing related to what I was in charge of. I did everything but as of 3 weeks ago have stopped doing it all. Met with my president and told him it moving into my old job because the compensation isn’t worth the effort, that upset him quite a bit.
Will be working remote shortly again looking for a new job haha.
Wow! When I first heard of this on the news I thought it was some new lazy trend that was going around. Media manipulation is out of control. In my experience whenever I used to give 110 percent, all I got was more work dumped on me from my coworkers who only did the bare minimum. I stopped years ago when I realized we all got the same meager raises.
Trust me, this is the normal now. They are actively looking for quiet quitting and will pester hourly employees like myself to give more to the company while also not paying overtime because we are over budget on labor and to not file claims until the new year. Yeah, they sort of quiet quit on us a long time ago and it is just catching up now.
Absolutely nailed it !!! Some people who think life is about work would alway think that best is yet to come inspite of you putting whatever extra amount you did !!! Raise the bar without guarantee of returns !!!
Man, you are amazing at breaking down information e.g. the news anchor giving one sided story! 👍👍👍👍

I have personal experience of this after falling for the false hope that going above and beyond would lead to better teams and a better position. During Covid I then accepted that we would be holding off on contract negotiations until we saw what the imapct to the business would be. After our business INCREASED profits (it was an MSP), bought a competitor and moved to and renovated a new location I was told that there was no money for raises and all the additional expertise I had gained from taking on new roles did not earn me a new title. Now I'm doing much less at a competitor for an additional 50% in salary in addition to private healthcare and employer contributions to my pension fund. #
If you're reading this, go to interviews and get offers before going in to your reviews. If what your current employer offers is beneath what is offered elsewhere, don't even give them the chance to make a second offer. Leave.
Promotions are out played now, if you want more money you get another job somewhere else. Job hopping is seen a a good thing now a days as it shows that your skills are sought after.
When I first heard of quiet quitting I thought it was quitting without anyone realizing it
Yeah it's funny how these companies expect you to be driven and passionate about giving 110% all the time, while at the same time giving next to no incentive for you to do so. Wait a go Jimmy, you went above and beyond and secured over 50,000 in revenue this month. Here's a quarterly raise of 25 cents per hour. Keep up the good work and I'm almost 50% sure you can secure another 25 cents next quarter (I mean as long as the company doesn't experience any unrelated downturns that force us to withhold raises and or year end bonuses, etc.)
Or worse unironically think giving you a pizza at the end of the year is fair compensation.
I was one of those who went the extra mile taking extra tasks and even picking up leadership roles with the mindset that oh it will lead to a promotion and better pay. Nope I kept getting overlooked at every promotion I went out for and Management could never tell me anything more than we choose a candidate who we thought was a better fit. All I could think was but who else is working 60 hours a week every week? its only me and 3 other ppl here on saturdays and sometimes its just me. My productivity is at 100% or higher. Like wtf more can I do to move up? I got mentally burned out and became extremely unmotivated to work. I walked out on my lunch break with no job lined up or a real plan. Its been 5 years and im happily self employed and living a life of freedom that I think would make most 9-5 workers jealous
Exactly my situation at work now 😏
I have to do the same at a fast food restaurant. Worked there for 2.5 years being one of the hardest workers with the broken promise of becoming a manager. I was trusted with coming in early to help set up, walking the money to the bank, talking thousands of dollars, in a bank bag for a deposit, and making no more than $8.75/hour. Making food, bagging, working the window, cashier, cleaning, dealing with nasty customers for 6 to 7 hours a day, 6 days a week. I quit for a higher-paying job with weekends off and benefits. The management tried to beg for me to come back and I refuse.
well if one of your employees worked 60 hours a week and did very well would you promote them ? probably not, because they're more effective going that extra miles and working their ass off just for the hope of that promotion so you wanna make sure you keep them like that , running for the unreachable bait
@@reza7531 how is that more effective? essentially they lost out. I went and started my own business and am doing great. Do you know how much money they could have made off of an employee like me over the course of 40 years? But companies would rather continue to waste money and production training new employees every 3-9 month.
Im happy it worked out for u
In my opinion, employers found out that quiet quitting is getting momentum, and are paying media to scare the employees and to get them back on track.😄
Of course because employers interest are to get the more work out of you for the least amount of pay.
Joshua makes an excellent point about talking to your manager if your unhappy. That can definitely be used against you as someone who is too negative and will be the first one to get a pink slip during layoffs.
Companies don't give 2 weeks notice of you being fired. Companies forget they wouldn't have their millions if it wasn't for us. I've left jobs without notice and it was the best thing for me. Everytime I gave notice I got attitude and my check being withheld.
Holding your check is Illegal and co. can be fined for every day they did not pay you. That’s why they call it “At Will” employment. You can quit anytime you want, notice or not.
