No, I’m not lazy. I’m not uninspired. And I’m not “quiet quitting.” I just want to work 8 hours a day and be left the hell alone at night and on weekends to work on MY OWN projects that will make ME money. Not your shareholders.

Hell yes! I feel so validated by this whole social movement toward creating boundaries and prioritizing mental self-preservation in the corporate environment. I have always been lowkey keen to these things in terms of never raising my hand to take on extra work just to be “seen,” refusing to work weekends, and not responding to emails after a certain time, but for the first 7 years of my career I was ALWAYS, ALWAYS told in my annual reviews that these were flaws I needed to correct — that I was passive, “heads-down,” too quiet (I’m an introvert and am shy but have always been kind to and well-liked by my coworkers). That I needed to be a better “team player” (i.e. bring the company more money without being compensated for it). Because of this I struggled heavily with terrible anxiety inside and outside of work and a constant nagging voice that I wasn’t doing enough, even when I have always created good quality work and delivered it on time (i.e. literally, ya know, done my job). If you want to hustle on your off time, more power to you. Make that money, but make YOU money, not them. I’m partial to watching housewives and playing fetch with my dog, which I’m just now learning not to feel guilty about. I’m so thankful to have finally this year found a company, a manager, and a CEO, who allow me to work normal hours, consistently praise me for creating great quality work within that time frame, reward me for winning new business, compensate me fairly, make me feel valued on a human level, and get on with their own damn lives after 6pm. I’m hopeful that this is the general direction corporate America is headed, and I’m actually somewhat confident it will be, because Gen-Z is a freaking force. As we all continue collectively learning to better value ourselves and our lives, big changes will happen.

It shows you how f’ed up the US is that the phrase they use to describe doing exactly your job includes the notion of “quitting.”

I get it. But Gen Z is empowered by labor market conditions that will eventually experience a correction. And when that happens, it’s easier to layoff based on who demonstrates commitment vs who adds the most value. The millennials you see working themselves to death for the company are the juniors from the 2008 crash. Their willingness to outwork everyone is the reason they’re still here and not selling real estate. Is it worth it? Of course not. But unfortunately that’s the harsh reality coming for the new class.

Looking to spark a discussion here..
My wife and I both of us extremely busy execs with a heavy duty work schedule have an interesting dynamic: It doesn’t matter what time of the night but it’s usually 2,3,4,5 am - she wakes up and disregarding that I’m completely asleep wants action from me. She’ll climb the hill or poke it. This gets me frustrated at times given that I really need to recharge at night, but usually ready to go at 8am - how can we work through this situation?

I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
