1. Keep it to yourself do not be obvious. do not announce yourself.
2. Stick to your Job Description
3. Make yourself invisible
4. work opposite others if possible (opposite schedules) counter-cyclical scheduling.
5. Never volunteer
6. Keep track of your time. No more voluntary overtime.
7. Avoid Meetings (lol)
8. use time you saved to invest time in yourself.
did my best.
+ Avoid get togethers,
Live in compartments (e.g. don't take your work laptop home).
"Quit quitting is hard work"
I would add its a piece of cake to join meetings online - just say the odd word at the start and end then do other things with the cam off. Easy way to log some hours.
How do you avoid meetings?
Quiet quitting is doing less or minimum, at every opportunity, than what you're responsible and not take any more work. No new ideas or improvement. Keep to your ownself and don't hold out for anybody. Don't expect any form of reward from your employer. Just do what you're told and don't care of the consequences
I recommend doing private tasks at work. Paying bills in my internet bank, sending private e-mails, doing phonecalls etc. It frees up time when home after work.
I have been doing that since 2018 xD
Careful with that, especially if you're in a highly secretive business.
i worked at hotel at night and would sneak my laundry in. i think they knew but never said anything. it was really awesome!
yup, I am part-time remote after my job screwed me over. When I don't have any work it's Netflix time
One time I got weed delivered to reception plus dirt-bike parts, I will try your suggestion :D
I learned that quiet quitters must also take all their days off - vacation time, sick leave, personal leave. Maximize these days when you can. Not using them is like leaving money on the table.
Vacation time is part of your benefit packages. They have to pay any unused PTO out to you.
Sick leave is what you’ll lose if you don’t use.
No they do not, use/lose is real.
I maximize my pto like crazy. I'll burn a couple of days on either side of a long weekend to get a full week off.
What do you think of this? This is the new retirement trend >>> Several people at my work are at retirement age, and started collecting SS, but they still come to work everyday to collect their full paycheck for quiet quitting. Smart?
@@yannip2083fuck the system., get whatever you can. Government fucks is everyday
I'm quiet quitting because my "supervisor" plays favorites and gives awards and accolades to her friends. And the friends are nothing special. Plus, I qualify for retirement.
Same here mate! Cheers!
I call it acting my wage
Same here
I got passed over for promotion after restructuring our whole department, because we got a new MD and he wanted someone he knew.
Because my new boss has now taken on some of my responsibilities, I have made myself as minimally helpful as possible - always do just enough to keep it looking like I’m busy.
I now have more time to spend with my kids and working out. 😊
Mine does too! I am an employee's supervisor. She wasn't doing her job, I told her what she needed to do, and she ran complaining to my supervisor. Well, my supervisor turns around and berates me and sides with my employee. I did nothing wrong, and yet, I got thrown under the bus.
This witch of an employee that I supervise is obviously my boss' favorite.
This has been a frequent occurrence.
I'm pulling out emotionally and thinking about my next steps.
I worked a job for six and a half years without a promotion. I won multiple district monthly awards, employee of the month, was number 1 or 2 for my numbers for the year. Was trained across my entire company. Even trained people higher up than me how to do different aspects of their job. Eventually I felt defeated, left out, and couldn’t deal with the anxiety of my job so I began underperforming, being late, getting sick from anxiety about my life and feeling like I was going nowhere. Eventually one day I left after my shift and never came back. I regret not doing my best until the end but should have left long ago.
Yeah. The Rule Follower is the one they mistreat.
indoctrinated tbh
This is absolutely brilliant. I love the seriousness to Tom vs what he is saying. “Don’t mingle… don’t volunteer…have extra SIM cards so youre not reachable’, it goes so against the corporate grind but is genius.
Good to know I'm on track. I've been doing this for years and am still more productive than 95% of my colleagues...
I'm a quiet quitter.
After never receiving a promotion for 5 years after being a star employee and getting accolades from Client's, winning awards, and getting additional licenses and certificates.
I did however...start a company on the side.
I excel in my company.
I will soon leave my job to pursue my company.
So that's that.
The strange thing is, is that if a quiet quitter just does their assigned job meticulously, they will outperform the non QQrs, as 75% of most office workers are Goof Offs anyway.
So true
Which can backfire lol. I ended up getting promoted because I'm emotionally disengaged from my work and just focus on doing my job effectively and going home. Figures.
Learned that in the US Navy...Never Again Volunteer Yourself
Unless chief says Julson......go do it, I didn't volunteer for shit!
It's hard to remain enthusiastic in engineering, every company I've worked at bleed your soul dry.
Being an engineer is asking for it. It's like you're advertising the fact that you're the smartest guy in the room and deserve more work.
Ya I just quit my job cos I was the only design engineer left with a work ethic, so they forced me to micromanage the quiet quitters who just sat back and put their feet up. So I became one of them LMFAO. I spend ALL my free time on my health and lost 65lbs :D
My company denied me advancement over my lack of enthusiasm. I nicely told my boss it ain't going to happen.
The people who design the products the company sells are viewed as robots. I'm a design engineer, and for every one of us there are 3-4 supervisors who produce nothing but emails and reports on our progress. We're the last ones to get raises, but when we take our vacation time, the supervisors act like the company is crippled until we get back. Amazing how that works LOL. FML
@@FFGG22E You deserve a pizza party!
I work mostly remotely. I always help people when a critical deadline needs to be reached, it balances out my lack of availability or bare minimum effort for the mundane stuff that makes up 95% of the rest of the work.
Me also, my productivity doubles by working from home, my conscience is clear.
I’ve been doing this for yearssss without knowing the name for it. Now I’ll have to hone my craft 😂😂
QQ people realized they can get money with no to little efforts, and no one bothers. Extra efforts are actually not wanted by leaders. It's hard depersonalisation of human endeavor.
That's how it goes in big corporations, work is pointless almost every moment you're there. Every achievement is soon obsolete. And that's pretty much everywhere. People just do what they have to (do bare minimum) to get their bills paid off, nothing more, nothing else.
No higher common sense, no purpose, no belonging, no social life, just lost time at meaningless work.
A sad testimony to how the majority of the world has to behave in order to have shelter, food, etc.
Great, very helpful tips! And I especially liked your facial expression when you talk about social activities. All sorts of "team building" is what disgusted me in all my jobs.
watching this after I cried in the bathroom of my job, I can't believe this happened to me at 22
I get paid 400e a month btw ;)
The world of job and corporate jobs is awful everywhere right now
At 22 can’t you try and make a living with something online or with social media Instagram etc?
Quit crying in the bathroom lol
I'm 56yo it doesn't really get better. Realize this and QQ.
Don't be ashamed of it. Everyone handles stress a little differently.
The colleague that shirks their work the most received the highest performance review!
The rest of us were called reliable workhorses.
DO NOT BE RELIABLE.
DO NOT BE THEIR WORKHORSE.
I need to quiet quit starting today.
That happened to me at my work 7 years ago. Never again.
Excellent. Will be doing this going forward 😂
I am already doing all of these things... I still need more.
I'm in the opposite situation. I'm an electrician at the same job site after almost 4 years. Never thought I'd have anything like job security.
When in 1942 the Nazi's were the boss of our factories, every worker was a quit quitter. That sais something about our current society.
Thanks for the tips and perspective! :)
Its a bit of a balancing act. Do your job well enough to avoid negative attention but not well enough to garner positive attention. Be polite but not too familiar and try to be kind of forgettable and boring.
What do you think of this? This is the new retirement trend >>> Several people at my work are at retirement age, and started collecting SS, but they still come to work everyday to collect their full paycheck for quiet quitting. Smart?
Very smart!
Great video! Thank you for this! I will start quiet quitting this Monday! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Hilarious and great insight!
In my office job the overtime is paid - none is unpaid. I still won’t do overtime even for the money as I don’t really need it, I prefer to have free time and my weekends to be my own. I don’t volunteer for anything now, I don’t want to learn anything new, I just want to work my usual hours and get paid. I don’t socialise with people from work and never will again. I did all these things in my last job that I was in for over 20 years - I won’t make the same mistake again.
at your new job, quiet quit DAY ONE. we tend to think that we need to go above and beyond at first to make a good impression but that is setting up expectations for how you gonna act all the time. don't do that. first you're going to get on jealous toxic co workers radar seing you as a threat plus that way, you do the best of the minimum that is requiered from your job description and people will get to know you that way so there will be no changes in behavior at work later on to be worried about or to be detected by toxic co-workers/monitoring spirits
I just dropped out.
Tip: make yourself indispensable for one or two tasks and slack off on things other people can do.
Your boss will likely let you off if you can do one or two tasks which they can’t or don’t want to do
Whereas delegating tasks to other people is easy.
Quiet Quitting is goofing off at every opportunity
I always tell my husband, make sure you get more than you give.
I recommend being careful with that countercyclical working if you have a security clearance.
Quiet quitting is poorly named, but really the only way to recover work/life balance.
Tracking your productivity is important. I put in about 4 hours of actual work.
If I’m at home, I dose off or do other things like work on a side gig or research.
Maximise your employee benefits , share buying schemes or whatever that benefits you.
Always keep your resume refreshed and updated. Quiet quitting means that you have one foot out of the door, you should leave after 2 or 3 years.
It's easier to quiet quit today,Because those work values were never there to begin with.
It's what the slaves did under the Soviet system until the system eventually collapsed. So it works!
Great channel to find.❤
I am 54 and quiet quit two years ago. I do my job and that is it. No more extra work or going above. I could care less about my employer.
I get it 100%. I’ve been with my company for 20 years. So dedicated trying to always act like the best employee. But it doesn’t matter. I can work 50% less and literally get the same results. Nobody will tell you not to work so much even though we say “don’t work to hard” as a way of saying goodbye to a friend. Your boss won’t ever save you from coming in on the weekends for free and whatnot.
I’m beginning my journey of quite quitting and it’s has need very good for my mental health.
Couple of things that stick is I overheard a coworker tell another coworker how bored he was and I was always slammed with work and stress but it was because of me. Now I have backed off and still get the same done and feel much better
The term “Quiet Quitting” seems wrong. It used to just be called “doing your job.”
I tried loud quitting and got a promotion.
this is all neat advice until your supervisor notices their star employee suddenly starts being a normal employee and they find that unacceptable
So never be a star employee.
You need to add a video about the type of places where quiet quitters can remain undetected indefinitely. Not all jobs support quiet quitting, and not all managers fall for it.
You need to be smart enough to ferret that out. Its not necessarily a type of place but a specific department or position.
I worked at an office job for a software engineering company. They weren't doing to well so they hired a couple of consultants named Bob. Both were named Bob. Turns out the two Bobs figured out I was laid off awhile back but still getting a pay check and they fixed that glitch. You'd think they could just leave me alone to watch the squirrels getting married and polishing my red stapler. I set THE example on quiet quitting. They added the last straw. It wasn't quiet quitting after that but now I spend all my time on the beach in mexico threatening to take my dollars elsewhere.
When in doubt office space it
Dude,you're awesome
@@rbgz246 no office space. True story. I'm worried they're gonna discover the strychnine in the guacamole.
Ive been self-employed now for years and awhile back I got bored and applied for some jobs. What I found is that employers love to talk about being part of their stupid bs work family but dont want to tell you a pay scale or an accurate job description. I also found that I didnt obtain interviews through these jobsites, only junkmail as the jobsite immediately sells my info to a hundred other employers with jobs I have no interest in doing and never searched for nor have experience in doing. If I cant give a resume or application to a real person with a name and a pulse, Ive realized that your shit company offers shit jobs and shit pay.
I quiet quit because I always thought that was just "working".
Sounds like work. Just doing your job. I always liked overtime. That’s where the paycheck grew. Those paychecks got me into real estate. Now I have rentals. It was very very hard work and required sacrifices. Now. Some days I sleep in and play with my wife all day. Some days I fix stuff and have long hours. Some days I just hire somebody to get my shit done.The contractor sets his or her price. Wage income sucks ass so I recommend loud quitting like Johnny Cash. My unskilled labor starts at 15 bucks an hour and they are always welcome to buy in on a deal. Or better yet bring me a deal to buy in on. When you look back on your life and tell your kids you did just the bare minimum and actually planned to be mediocre I hope the shame doesn’t eat you alive. WTF is this? Too lazy to quit and deal with real wage declining for decades? instead of manning up and moving on to inflation fighting income sources? Seriously this is the advice you give youngsters?instead of work hard and have a plan to get the fuck out of the rat race. You wouldn’t know anything about that though. Would you? I can help. Just ask.
it is mathematically impossible for most people to make it like you did. what if you don't have the time for overtime? what if you are too sick and obsolete to be hired by anyone else or do that overtime? what if you lack any valuable skills like most people do? what if you worked yourself into disability like I did, but the disability checks don't cover rent, let alone other luxuries?
@@pufopc8749 my motivation was I got serious bone cancer at 23. It is a matter of making time. I went back to work after a year off. Three years later I was out. I mean it is really hard. Time will be sacrificed. I quit music and movies and spent my time at the library because there was no RUclips. I drove old cars and fixed them myself and of course the most time consuming thing was the mistakes. There is no excuse in a free country you just have to want it bad enough.
Listen to yourself. I counter that I got out while recovering from bone cancer. Followed five years later with horrific injuries from a bike accident. There is always an excuse. I agree mathematically most folks will not get out because they want to do something else. I went to the library and consumed everything I could read on real estate. There was no RUclips with info at my fingertips. It is hard with the time and lack of skills but I learned. If it is a mental disability you have then this discussion isn’t for you. But you can write so I assume you can read. Here are some sacrifices I made. Music, entertainment, birthdays and holiday events, sleep. New cars, privacy as I shared living space to save, going out to eat, and finally a loser wife that did not share my vision.shut off Netflix and learn. Replace music with ebooks. I recommend starting with the book The Richest Man in Babylon. Then put time in on the power of intention because you first must intend on doing something positive instead of being a victim.
As opposed to you, I didn't make it. I know the components of success, but it's too late. I do have 32 years of hard work, the disability, and nothing much to show for. I didn't have the loser wife, either. I worked too hard to have time for one. My only objective now is to do the least I can for others, and do the most for myself.@@joecliffordson
Make a video about it. Educate us
You are your brand, and people are not stupid. Moreover, when it comes to cuts, you will be first in line, and good jobs aren't easy to come by.
You're a quit quitter"???
Don't wonder why you're the 1st to get laid off when business slows a bit...
Open your own business and you'll understand.
😀😀😀
😂😂😂
Quiet quitting is haram, it’s immoral, people can resign if they want.
Paying employees less than they are worth is Haram too.
Overworking people to death and paying them bare minimum is haram too
Lol if they don't appreciate you at work and aren't compensating you correctly then they can eat rocks
Terrible advice!
