Have you heard of quiet quitting? 🤫
Have you ever thought about it? 🤔
Not gonna lie — I’m currently debating it. Burnout is real 😮‍💨

Yeah, I keep hearing people saying they're going to do it. I've gone through periods where I knew I was phoning it in, but at the time I had my reasons. These days things are going pretty smoothly so I'm just doing my usual job.

I hope your days continue to go smoothly 😊🙏

I've always heard quiet quitting as showing up for work but doing the absolute minimum, if that. Which...yes. That's where I'm at right now. I know my department doesn't have long left, so I've been saving my energy for job hunting when I get home.

Nah, my understanding of Quiet Quitting is to just leave and not bother telling anyone that you are quitting, which is rude AF! I know someone who left at lunchtime and never returned. Rude, rude, rude! And what does that say about your character?
As for showing up and doing the minimum or hardly anything at all... what's the point of that? To get fired or written up? And how does your slacking on the job help the rest of the people on your team???
How will either of these scenarios help you to become successful in your professional career? Do us ALL a favor and just quit your job if you are doing this crap! Or better yet, talk to your boss, Career Manager or HR if you are THAT unhappy in your job! Especially if you are in an office setting. I have had jobs that I absolutely LOATHED! The people were toxic AF! I still showed up to work everyday and performed my job at my highest level possible! If you want to be a lazy slacker then don't work with other people.

I have never heard of that phrase before, but I just looked it up. It sounds like my current strategy 😆 if they aren't going to care about how they run the government, why should I go above and beyond in my job? Especially with the looming threat of layoffs over my head. I wish they understood at the top how much they have affected morale for everybody.

Amen 🙌🙌 to that! If only the could see what's it's truly done!

Yep, I’ve been there. Quiet quitting isn’t about slacking: it’s about protecting your energy when you’re giving too much for too little. But long-term? It might just keep you stuck. If the burnout’s deep, maybe it’s time to plan a smarter exit. Have you start looking into other options?

I like the way to explain that! It's a nice way of achieving professional boundaries.

Hasn't everyone heard of this by now? Quiet quitting is old news. It sounds great in theory, but with all the job cuts, I don't think this is the right time to give it a try. I don't love my job, but I really don't want to have to find another one in this job market either.

like

Valid point you have there, it also brings up why burnout is so high. People are worried about not giving their all because of cuts & layoffs so they end up giving too much and there's nothing left at the end of the day. Where's the balance?

I can admit more than I like to acknowledge it’s definitely there .. the need to walk away because the burn out is real! Sometimes I mentally check out to resist the urge to walk away

Our company is a small company with 80-100 employees in India, what the company does is ask us to track every single minute of our day, from getting into the office to what time we got up for lunch, tea, etc. for everything we have to put a log, do you guys think this is a healthy process for a company to grow? All the employees be frustrated that they have to go to office regularly and finish 9 hours somehow, a measured break time is also allocated.

I work in a sucky IBM cic, making $54k. It’s a full time job with regular benefits and vacation etc, it’s working with government clients. The job isn’t what I applied for & constantly changes. I don’t like that, but I’m a full time employee which is “stable employment”. Btw, I’m in the DC area.

I just got hired for a government contract through Accenture for a Business Analyst role. Pay is $65 per hour. 3 year contract. Benefits too. No PTO. Holidays off with pay, after 90 days.

Thoughts?

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
