Quiet Quitting Is Going To Ruin Your Career | Shepard Smith

#quietquitting #business #entrepreneurship

Quiet quitting has become a trending topic that many employees are FOOLISHLY applying, and it can be detrimental to your business. Here's why quiet quitting is possibly the dumbest idea I've ever heard, and how it can ruin your career!

It's not a sickness, it's a symptom, the sickness is that employers do not value their employees and for the last couple decades have been cutting down on their benefits and the way they're treated on their companies. Business with great working culture and value for their employees do not need to worry about Quiet Quitting because no employee would need to even think about it.

[abstractdaddy]

Usually I agree with him but his response to this "quiet quitting" is so blatantly transparent and self serving. Workers are finally treating companies the way companies have been treating them.

Kevin is the employer who wants to get his workforce at a discount. Quiet quitting is simply doing the work your paid to do. Nothing more🤷🏾‍♂️

Kevin is dead wrong on this. I have a University B.S. and had a career in corporate IT. I used to work long hours and even do other peoples jobs for them who couldn't pull their own weight. During my career I've ben laid off or forced to quit so that the people who couldn't do their own jobs could take my place. Management is and ALWAYS was the problem. This kind of crap happened at almost all the companies I've worked at going back to the the early 1990's when I started my career after college. If you've been paying attention to what's been happening lately you'll see that regular people are getting tired of being bullied. A "toxic" workplace is nothing new and Management has always ben eager to bully and manipulate whomever they can even if it ends up being detrimental to the company. It used to be that Unions were a necessity to protect workers from abusive employers. Kevin is clearly siding with the abusive employers on this issue and a casual view of the comment section indicates that his viewers are against him on this. Too bad Youtube got rid of the dislike button, that would have been fun to see.

Quiet quitting isn’t as much about “not getting your job done” as much is it is not doing more work than you’re paid for. If I’m paid $20 an hour to unload trucks at fedex, I’m scheduled to work 8-4, and that’s all it says in my job description, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. The problem is companies expect people to do more than that without paying them more.

[maverick]

Life doesn’t revolve around work Kevin. You are free to hire people who don’t feel that way. Don’t ridicule their explanations.

[hannamariewilson]

Quiet quitting isn't just the standard, Kevin. People are doing this in RESPONSE to unfair wages or poor management. Other people are advocating quiet quititng as a way to look for other jobs without volunteering to do anything extra than your regular work. I agree it's bad for business, but if businesses cared that much, they should ensure the employees are taken care of.

Out of touch millionaire doesn't understand that people are tired of being overworked for things they don't need. When recruiters and career advisors are telling people, "don't ask for a raise, just look for a new job" we have a serious problem. Employers expect loyalty out of their employees but don't give it in return. Hard work isn't rewarded with higher pay, it's rewarded with more work.

Much respect to Kevin O Leary but im with Gen Z on this one. The days of working 17 hours per day with no social or family life is out of the question for Gen Z and many Millennials. You guys can die with all of your wealth and money, we just want to die happy with friends and family.

[charlener]

Kevin doesn’t understand how employers are taking advantage of their employees. Quiet quitters are usually the high achievers who do more than their counterparts. If you get rid of those employees, you’ll have to hire 2-3 people to replace them. Employees are the most valuable asset a business can have ( knowledge, abilities and experience) - you can invest by paying them more and help create a better work life balance. Kevin seem a little hostile - as if he is superior. What does calling quiet quitters “losers” say about him and the companies he invests in? 🤨

[gbsartworks]

I agree most of the time with this guy, but this is a big no. This is the result of unjust treatment to employees and thinking of them just like disposable utensils. If employers have the entitlement to fire someone in a fling, employees can quiet quit or whatever term you want to apply and leave whenever they want. If employers think they have the upper hand because they can provide a "drug" called salary, they should realize they cannot function without employees. Treat employees fair!

[livingthedream]

Ask me how I feel about my company "quiet firing" me (Cut my hours to zero without formally dismissing me) in an attempt to try to head off unemployment claims.
There's being wrong, Kevin, and then there's you.

[ginaem]

I work my 8 hours a day giving 100% and doing the best work expected of me. I work for a university where everyone gets the same raise every year, the amount decided at the top and those who decide that amount don’t know any of us. The losers who do half ass work also get the same raise. What is the incentive for me to do any more than what is defined in my job description? The reward is going to be the same. If they want someone that works 12 hour days, coming in weekends for the same pay, no overtime, then they should have stated that in the job description. But they did not, so I am following my job description exactly as it was presented to me. I’m a quiet quitter and proud of it.

I usually love Kevin, but he can go to h3ll on this one. As long as I’m just a number on a spreadsheet to my employer, I’m slamming my computer shut at 5. I’ll go enjoy a movie, my kids baseball game, a concert… Kevin expects people to work their a$$es off while being underpaid because that’s “American “?! The employers that think like Kevin is the problem, not employees.

[seanneumann]

I work for a small IT MSP. My workplace is toxic. Managers get to work at home and the rest of us work at the office without so much as a quarterly pop-in.

I was due for my review and raise 4 weeks ago and reminded my boss twice before so he could prepare. Still haven’t gotten it.

I quiet quit my job at that time and have started interviewing for others. I don’t refuse work — I just do the bare minimum and let the rest hit the fan. Eventually my boss will get tired of putting out fires but I’m hoping to be long gone by then.

[yayatim]

Lol, this happens for a reason, if employers can't change, can't lower their yearly profit goal and give those profits back to their employees, we quit, it's just that simple, it's part of economy.

[ayrtongraham]

What’s amazing is that so many people have independently arrived at the same conclusion, simultaneously.

As you are an employer, I understand you taking issue with it, and taking counter-action speaking out against it. The part unsaid how ever is that quiet quitting is not going away anytime soon. So why not capitalize on it 🤔

[chinoskateboardv]

If my salary is based on the hours I work, 2080 hours a year, then I’ll work 2080 hours in a year. You want me to work longer? Pay me more. Enough of this nonsense. Give me an incentive to stay longer.

[xalpha]

So this guy is Ok with people working 60 hours a week, but he's not ok paying them 40 hours base salary + 20 hours overtime. He's supposed to be a successful business man and understand that nothing is free in life.
