Don't kill yourself for a company that has no problem replacing you. A co-worker passed away from cancer and they announced it in a company meeting (multi billion dollar tech company). After announcing it, everyone went back to work as normal and her desk was filled in by a temp worker.

It’s NOT quiet quitting. You’re not “quitting” anything. You’re just not accepting slave labor. “Anti-slavery workers”

I can go "above and beyond" in terms of quality of my work, but I would never go "above and beyond" in terms of the time I give to a company.

We need more people to be like you, look past that indoctrinating toxic work mindset and realize there is more to life than just work

I'm a software developer and I've always preferred to do contract work because I get paid by the hour. I'm fine with working extra hours because I get paid for those extra hours but many companies don't want me working extra hours because it costs them money.

I used to go above and beyond, had no problem staying late if needed or taking work home. Didn't matter in the long run. Still lost my job when the company I loved reorged and decided I actually didn't matter. Messed up my confidence and self worth. I wanted to retire from there. Will never do that again. Never let yourself get attached to a company or give up personal time for free. Just do your job.

Quit quitting is basically doing the job you are paid to do. Not got above and beyond for free

I'm a developer, once I applied to a company that had a 4 hour test to get a job. Anyway I failed because apparently I didn't finish fast enough. I digged a little deeper and it turns out the company handed the test to 1000 people in order to hire the fastest of them. Think about it, 1000 people took a 4 hour test to compete for ONE job. There is so much to unpack here that a YT comment isn't enough. First of all the company didn't care to waste 999 people's time, 4 hours a piece. 30 applicants seems reasonable to me, maybe 50, maaaybe 100, but 1000? Second, what kind of dystopian movie are we in? Ask a boomer if he ever had to compete directly with a thousand people to get a job, you know because they say all you have to do is dress well and shake hand firmly in order to get a job. Anyway, this the reality now, so yes let's do fight to make a change, companies are insane nowadays. And fk the shark tank guy.

I switched to a public sector job, and government is full of "quiet quitters". There's no pressure to perform better so the company can make more profits. You're there to do a job, and as long as that job is done, there's no complaint.

So true, when you realize that big corporations don’t care about you, and all you are is a number to them while you dedicate your time and your lives to making them more wealthy. It’s honestly sad!

I believe in quiet quitting because even if you go above and beyond, you won't reap the rewards of your actions. Companies for the most part won't give you much more money (and you need to job hop to get true salary bumps] and most people can't get promoted above a certain point unless you meet certain demographic qualifiers.

I'm in Europe so labor laws are quite different but I started quiet quitting before the pandemic. I was tired that my hard work, which was costing me my health, was never rewarded and I was getting negative feedback for things I was doing that weren't even part of my job (but I thought they were since they had been given to me forcefully). I am in a much better place now thanks to my change in attitude. If I have to add one more advice for quiet quitting it would be this: learn to shut up. During meetings of any kind, do not speak unless spoken to and talk as little as you can. Focus on reporting on the essentials of your work and absolutely nothing else. Don't participate in "giving ideas", discussions on what is going wrong with the work or nothing of the kind. Learn to shut up. And do it consistently.

The office reference killed me lol. But it’s so true! There’s a fine line between going above and beyond, and setting boundaries at your job

I remembered almost a decade ago when I was first getting into the workforce one of my peers taught me all about the word "no" and it blew my mind how much stuff he could get out of just by saying "no" to his boss. He obviously built up a solid reputation and was extremely reliable. Because of that he was offered a lot of liberties nobody else had. I took note and made myself extremely reliable and the "hardest worker" when really I just do my actual job and clutch out sticky situations. If I'm asked to do anything extra I can say "no" and nobody will bat an eye.

Preach! I quiet quit my job and used my pregnancy as the excuse but I and my former colleagues knew very well, while pregnancy is a decent excuse to stop working, that was not the true reason I quit. State job that overworked and greatly underpaid and then asked me to take on extra responsibilities with no additional pay and zero training from day one (I was there for 4 years). Quiet quitting has been the best decision I’ve made!

I heard this saying before but hearing you say it again just reminded me that work isn't everything. "No one on their deathbed, wishes they worked harder." I also want to put it out there that your job does not define who you are as a person. To those who are having trouble finding a job, do not feel depressed, keep at it. Remember you have hobbies, a life to live and a family to love.

I agree with you 10000💯 I am quitting my job in a few days I'm tired of being used by a company that makes billions of dollars and every year they give us a 25 cents to 50cents raise it takes 4yrs to get 1 dollar raise that's just them being greedy they net revenue is 185billion.. Enough is Enough

I’m almost 50 and I love love the new generation’s way of thinking! Work smarter not harder! I love how they find ways to make money fast and live comfort! I always tell my kid not work hard!

Shoutout to everyone that’s been setting boundaries with jobs before it was a trend ❤❤ loved this video! Love the wavy hair!!!🌸🌸
