Are any of you currently “silent quitting?” How do you think this will affect your career progression? Or perhaps maybe career progression is not the goal here anymore.

Are people here content with just doing the job they are paid to do and not going above and beyond?

I’ve always been a ppl pleaser and have tried to perform at 100% in every job I’ve had. I’m just now realizing that it’s always put me in a place of being taken advantage of.

100%. Every job at every organization I have worked at has lied about promotion opportunities and promised both money and promotion without delivering. In every role I have out worked and run circles around my peers while also being popular with my end internal customers. I have always become the go to and my bosses #2 and it has never paid off. So I'm done and I am only doing what everyone else on the team does from here on out.

Unfortunately being the smartest or hardest working doesn't pay off. So I'm taking a page out of Gen Z's book and doing my job and only my job and if I finish before "a full day's work" then I'm spending the rest of the day how I want.

While I’m not intentionally “quiet quitting”, I’m a stereotypical overachiever who’s not putting in maximum effort right now. I moved from startup culture to big corporate with my current job, and the pace is so much slower here.

In startups, standouts can get promoted in six months; whereas, my current company has an explicit policy that an employee has to be in their current role for a full year to be considered for another role, even a lateral one. Vacancies above my current level are very few and far between, so it’s likely I’ll need to move on in order to move up.

Since I’m used to jobs with much heavier workloads that required maximum efficiency to avoid constant overworking, I’m considered productive here despite only working a few hours a day. Maximum effort could theoretically get me a slightly higher raise but won’t get me promoted anytime soon. I produce enough accomplishments to get my full performance bonus, but without a path to promotion, that’s the extent of my effort.

It’s working well for me so far. I don’t think my bonus will be huge but whatever the minor difference in bonus won’t hurt me compared to the benefits of my sanity.

I’ve been doing this for years I guess. I do what I’m supposed to do but I don’t desire to do more or get promoted or anything. I’m ok with just doing what I’m supposed to do. After having children and being exhausted from that, I have no more to give.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago.

I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?
