After the heart of the pandemic, I believe we all learned valuable lessons regarding home-work balance. We learned that for most jobs, working from home is doable. Removing travel and set hours gave people some leisure time to work on providing themselves peace they haven’t experienced before COVID. The return to “normal” work life is simply not the norm anymore, people are choosing themselves, so “quiet quitting” is becoming more noticeable in the work place, even for us people of color. We are using the extra time and energy to build side businesses, invest in stocks, take additional trainings for self development and to manage our home lives—- I personally have set my alarm for a 12 pm lunch hour daily, so I don’t ever give away my time ever again. I also leave work exactly at the time I should leave. I’m punctual and dedicated during my hours being paid. I have zero apologies for me and mines coming first in my own life- A proud professional black woman

Love this!! And couldn’t agree more. The pandemic has refocused our priorities. With newer work practices such as remote and 4 day work weeks, many of us are starting to find our peace and power. It’s also made it hard to ignore many of the disparities that exist in the work place (racism, sexism, pay gaps, work life balance etc). We now know there are better options and what it feels like. We will never go back to the “norm”.

I found out the two male managers in my department were making 25-30% more than me , female manager, and were contributing less than me. My boss constantly had excuses, stating it was where I lived or my job description but it didn’t change the fact that I was busting my ass putting in more and more work that was on their job descriptions and still not getting what I deserved. I am at the point where I think I have done too good a job and they have purposely held me back for their own selfish reasons. Because, who would do their work if they let another department steal me? So, I am scaling way back. Doing the bare min of work. In this organization, you hit a ceiling when you are too good at what you do and I have just hit it.

So sorry to hear this. What you are experiencing appears to be the norm. So the question is how do we reset the norm? Sounds like you have started to figure out an approach which works for you. Setting boundaries looks different for each individual.

I see this quiet quitting phenomenon as a really valuable alternative to ‘hustle culture’. It puts an emphasis back on a ‘pay for performance’ system, while also challenges employers to embrace & engage their employees as the whole person (professional AND personal) instead of focusing only on their ambition and outputs.

My hands are shaking!! I just got off a call with my toxic manager who is clearly not happy I am being poached for another division. I tried to hold firm as he attempted to 20 question me, who was it, who wants me, what division, how did they find out about me? And of course the gaslighting of “why didn’t you come to me I could have helped or made introductions”. Clearly everything is about him. How have you handled such situations? What could I have done better with my abusive manager?

How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?
