Quite quitting - A response to hustle culture and burnout; employees are "quitting" going above and beyond and declining to do tasks they are not being paid for.

I think this is called setting boundaries. Which firms like mine don’t want you to have. No matter what they say in the brochure.

This is such a boomer term to me. I’m not quitting anything, I’m just not killing myself in service to a huge corporation that doesn’t *really* care about anything but profits. I’m still doing my job duties, and doing them well. But I’m also carving out a nice life for myself with the extra time.

Manager here and not triggered, it just sounds true. Worst still, after years of trying to motivate team and pushing them to do better, I think I’ve given in and almost there myself. Quit mentally while physically trying to hold it together.

P.S. Learn to say no tactfully. That is way more effective than this dumb "quiet quitting" thing because it actually makes you more effective and respected at work and has the added advantage of not torpedoing your career.

there have been several posts on here already about “quiet quitting”and i absolutely hate the term.

it’s called doing your job and not letting yourself get bullied into doing things you don’t get paid for. basic professional skills that have nothing to do with “quitting.”

based on this jargon, i’ve apparently been quiet quitting my job for my whole decade long career at the current company.

Why does Gen Z keep claiming and re-packaging things that have existed since they've been in diapers?

Also, I see this sometimes represented as doing the bare minimum and not going above and beyond; I think that people can deliver value above and beyond minimum contractual expectations while still working reasonable hours like < 45 hours/week of WLB.

This is a welcome correction to employers expecting people to sell their soul and put business needs above all else. Companies still trying to extract every ounce of labor from their workers are out of touch and won’t keep them around for long

The corporate-owned MSM is pushing another narrative. This is the same MSM they keeps churning out “return to office” missives despite most companies saving money and becoming more productive. The overlords want to feel like they’re overlords, and have told the media to push a narrative.

This is actually performing the service for which you are paid.
Want more? Have it agreed upon and pay more.

Thanks to the pandemic, we got to see what is really important in life and surely, there's more to life than just working yourself to the grave for a corporation that will replace you in a minute. No free labour! You want more, pay for it! 🎤

I’ve been seeing a lot more managers talk about it on LinkedIn than actual teenagers on TikTok. It feels like another attempt to shift our baseline expectations of work. If you’re not working beyond what they paid you for you’re somehow “quitting” which is an insane idea. I feel like it’ll just result in people working extra hard to prove they’re not “quiet quitting” which is kind of bullshit.

Very interesting to see the comments & views here because every firm that I’ve been at subscribed to this thought of “maximizing utilization” and “leverage model,” so unless firms are about to change their business model (and Partner comp structures), then this is the reality for centuries to come.

This applies to all private companies, and most public companies except those who are required to comply to ESG/ DEI for stakeholder compliance purposes in which case may have favourable policies for SG or DEI reporting.
