Too many corporations want an Apple level of work from the employee but only provide a Walmart level of compensation.

Its not quiet quiting, its just doing your job.

[Bananajoe]

Having conversations with your boss, like you do with your partner, requires you to have trust in him/her. Which is the single best reason, why these conversations don‘t happen in real life.

I did exactly what Simon suggested to get ahead. I sat down and asked what I need to do to get to the next level. We developed a plan and the manager backed out after I completed the plan successfully. That was a few years before I turned 60. One month before I turned 60, I was let go because of “budget”. That same day they let 3 of us go, all around 60 years old and gay. 2 months later all the VP’s were given significant raises and promotions. Since then, I am now 64, I was not able to find a job. That company destroyed my retirement plans, destroyed my confidence and self esteem after working there for 10 years.

I don’t call it quitting… turning up and doing your job is not quitting.

Quitting your job is quitting.

This is untrue. You can't say companies are honest, and then turn around and say, "it's the lying." The issue is, there are a shit-ton of people in upper management not doing sh*t and incapable of doing anything worthwhile for the company, meanwhile all the real work and responsibilities fall on lower-level employees. We're f*cking tired.

I am in my mid 50's working 37 years...I care about my job...and it's the problem when you are the one who they will add to your plate but not take anything off it to get to the feeling of being overwhelmed sometimes...I don't have the manager position nor do I want it because I want to have a life.. I want to work my 40 hours...on salary not paid for ot...if I do extra is because I choose to, to keep my work current.. I have to set boundaries because I am not on call 24/7 I am not not glued to my cellphone to watch emails...I have coworkers who do and when I am out sick or on vacation...they can handle it because nothing I do at my job is an emergency that I needed to be disturbed. When coworkers are out for any reason I respect their time off and I expect the same! And by the way I am not lazy...I used to be that person working 8-12 hour days...it took a toll on my health...the pandemic changed all that...I had to make me a priority...get my health back...that is why I put in my 8 hours and whatever doesn't get done will be dealt with the next business day....because lets be real...If something happens to me my company will find someone to replace me within 2 weeks...I have seen it done in my own department!

I don't really care about any of my employers because they have never really cared about me. Anyone who thinks different is in cloud la la land

I disagree with this definition of “quiet quitting”. Competently doing one’s job for the agreed upon hours and no more is not quitting. When I first heard the term “quiet quitting” it was referring to workers who had become fed up with a job and just stopped working and never returned. They did not announce they were quitting. They just left and went on to something else. It was the equivalent of “ghosting” one’s job.

Fair Work load + Fair Salary = Long term . Simple as that! Say NO to abusive people...

[rashminarendra]

If Companies don’t compensate over achievers- and don’t give opportunities to who is hungry- quiet quitting is inevitable

A relative of mine died of a heart attack due to stress while working in his office. He talked about leaving his job months before it happened. A year earlier his boss died of a heart attack in the same office. My sister in law is a manager of a famous multinational. She makes a lot of money but is always working even on vacations. She has no life. Is not worth it.

I've been working 32 hours or less for years because I work to live. Not live to work. If this is possible for you, I highly recommend it. It will open up your live in ways you can't imagine.

This works in a fairy tail world where everyone is honest and the main objective of companies is to do better and create value in our society. In the real world, 95% of companies want to squeeze workers for mere profit, they would vote tomorrow to make wages as low as possible if they could (spoiler, the already do with lobbies). And workers, knowing this fact, seek to balance the power in the relationship with things like quiet quitting, cause they perceive they are just cuttle that can be replaced once they have given every last drop.
All this has to do with inequality and distribution of power and wealth in our society. None would wanna be a simple worker, but if you are born poor you have to. If you are born rich, you can jump that and be an employer. I'm not complaining about it, it will always be like that, it is human nature. It is just a fact.

[Relatedonthate]

Firstly, as far as long term relationships go anyway, poly amorous relationships never work-whether you communicate well or not.
Secondly, I don't see being able to be honest with employers because they can just tell you to pack up your stuff because the job is easily done by someone else-especially if you are over 50. Too many employers take advantage of hard workers just because they can.

If I interviewed for a job and was honest enough to say I only want to do 40 hrs and nothing more, I doubt that I would get the job. Employees are ready to have that conversation but I don’t believe that employers are ready.

I find that every workplace expects you to go the extra mile for free. They give you all the buzzwords like "we're a family" "we're working towards something great" etc.etc. This works to get you in the door, but i've yet to find a positive workplace culture where you are treated like anything more than a workhorse.

The problem, is senior management. They lack understanding/training and combined with alot of workplace cultures of overworking staff, this generates such a toxic workplace and leaves a revolving door of staff, and further stress for staff that remain who are expected to pick up the strain from poor management.

This is what has generated the "quiet quitting" culture imo. Employee's lose their loyalties to their colleagues/Employer from repeated miss management and stress to the point where they are just turning up for the paycheck. If Employer's do not want this to happen, they need to engage with their staff on a personal level and make them feel like they are more than just a bum on a seat and give them sufficient rewards and recognition when employee's go the extra mile.

I've had jobs over the years, some places were mediocre, and some truly awful experiences. However in all I've given 100%. What I've cone to realize is that quiet quitting is probably a good choice, especially on minimum wage, simply because if the company gets into difficulties you will be let go, just like the person sitting beside you that does fuck all, day in day out. So really what's the point, giving 100%. Just something to think about. There are no medals either

My boss paid my salary late anywhere from 1 - 7 weeks late, this happened for about 8 months, every month. I never got told why or when I would receive my pay. My boss wouldnt respond to my texts or answer calls, no communication what so ever. Management wouldnt have answers either. Management and staff also stole from me regularly without me knowing until I caught on later. Informed the boss and nothing was done. I loved my job but eventually had to quit now. This period has mentally drained and ruined me. Makes no sense how people can take advantage of their workers at this level, and even be surprised and shocked once they leave.
