    Well, what you describe is “doing your job”. For a lot of Europeans, a job is there to have the resources to do the stuff we want to do outside the job.
    I met a guy who refused to be promoted. He loved his job and preferred his health over career.

    Believe me, I've worked 20 years in the tech industry. Promotions are pretty much moving sideways. They'll always find more ways to give you more work and ways to minimize your increases. When you stay in the industry long enough, they'll find ways to try to get rid of you because your employment is too expensive compared to a fresh employee. I was unfortunate to have superiors who break a lot of things because they were incompetent, and I had to constantly fix them. Employees weren't really bad to work with. However, management in many of the companies I've worked with were so dumb that it made me wonder how they even got to their positions in the first place.
    I managed to save up enough money to retire early. I've dropped off of the workforce completely and I'm not going back. I know inflation may put me in a rather tight financial situation in my late years, but I don't really care. My family line is not know for their longevity and I'm not expected to make it to 60, but hell... I'm not giving another second of my time to make another person rich. I'll just focus on my hobbies, especially since they can make me a little spending money while I live off of my savings. All of my time belongs to ME now.

    YES This is also my definition of "quiet quitting". There needs to be boundaries between work and life. I'm not a doctor, nurse, police officer, or firefighters. I shouldn't have to be on-call 24/7. Thank you for making this video.

      I think it's extremely dangerous that those professions have the schedules they do. I realized they also get large chunks of time off, but they also get called in during those times they're supposed to be off when there are worker shortages. Even outside of that, it makes me very uncomfortable to think of nurses and doctors with people's lives in their hands running on way too little sleep. So dangerous.

    I really think "Quit Quitting" means checking out and transitioning into leaving. Contentment & Boundaries aren't really quitting! You made a lot of great points, especially with recession and layoffs. I was laid off a few months ago (first in, first out sort of thing) and as more and more people start getting laid off, the job market becomes more and more competitive and the less people can really afford to "quiet quit" - there is a certain privilege that comes with that and nobody's job is guaranteed. There are so many people fighting for your job right now that if you're doing the bare minimum, it will eventually be recognized and you'll be at the top of the next layoff list and someone who's been looking for a job for months will step in and put in 10x the effort.

    Managers' behavior towards quiet quitting is like ordering a medium one topping pizza and throwing a fit when you don't get a large three topping pizza.
    All going above and beyond leads to 99% of the time is your boss taking all of the credit and benefits while you just get more work at the same pay.
    Besides, how hard you work is irrelevant. Work is basically high school and it boils down to how much your boss likes you.

    This was sooooo good! Thank you so much for breaking this down so well. " Work is meant to be a PART of our lives "

    I needed the pep talk on permission to do good work at work and have the rest of my life separate without feeling pressure to go " Above and beyond " and to socialize with colleagues outside work. I wish I had this sooner 😭 but I'm grateful 😄

    I'm presently quiet quitting. I am gov't union, but I still give my best work because the community is small and word gets around. I'm gonna leave on a great note, and my goal is for them to see their huge mistake. My coworker managed to leave so when I go they will be left with the weakest leak and it will be a HUGE wakeup call for them.

    No motivation for employees to go above and beyond. While managers that sit on their a$$ all day long are able to get bonuses, purchase luxury vehicles and able to buy a home… something is wrong with the picture and people are waking up!

    Honestly I know Googlers who have successfully coasted for years. It’s all about identifying the most powerful person in your management line and making them happy with you, without antagonizing your direct manager (who is usually thrilled when they hear good things about you from other managers). It’s very strategic and all about building your personal brand. Which is not always the same as doing great technical work.

      @@CassThompsonConsulting I was a state employee for 13 years, worked hard (yes, I really did), was not in a union since Georgia didn't have one unless you're a teacher, got paid crap with only occasional COL increases, and got laid off during recession budget cuts. Your super-generalized statement was unfair and insulting to a lot of people.

    Last year, I knew my boss was going to quit. When she made the announcement to our team, I wasn't surprised. I told her that I saw it in her demeanor. Most Mondays, we'd get a message she's working from home. Our weekly, 30 minute meetings were either cancelled or being pushed back. A few times, when she was working from home, she just said, "go ahead and meet without me." She was burning more sick time than ever. If she did come in, she came in at 8am and left at 4pm, on the dot.
    I liked her as a boss, even when she was quiet quitting. She knew that the team could operate without her. She left because it wasn't the same company she worked for after it got bought out by a big, publicly traded company.

    I agree with you!
    I now actively avoid jobs that say "We are not a company … we are family..."
    Wtf no, I have a family.
    The last job I had really tired to drive this home to the point where my sr. manager was upset I didn't want to open up to her about my personal life. She was upset that my old boss and I would go out to lunch to catch up, because we became friends over years and former boss respected boundaries.

    Be careful with your word choice. I would not refer to this as "QQ". It's fine to just put in your time and give it your best effort in order to still have a life. But when you use this phrase to refer to what you are doing, it sounds a lot more like you don't care and just spend your day slacking off. I know you said that's not what you're defining it as, but that's not always the way others will see it. People in your position are considered the model employee. Simply, doing your job. If you don't want to work more hours, take on more tasks, respond to emails outside business hours, that's perfectly fine. But absolutely do not refer to it as "QQ".
