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

Reposting from HR bowl: I’ve heard there is a hiring boom, especially for L&D roles. I was let go recently from a toxic environment (removed the company from everything) after only 4 days of work.

Any advice for me? I’m also seeking therapy for the trauma & coping, now ready for securing that next role!

Q2: If your company were to give you a one week notice that you’d have to return to office 2x per week on mandatory days would you feel like that’s reasonable or uncalled for?

Does where you get your masters degree matter?
