How 'Quiet Quitting' Became The Next Phase Of The Great Resignation

- "Quiet quitting" is having a moment. The trend of employees choosing to not go above and beyond their jobs in ways that include refusing to answer emails during evenings or weekends, or skipping extra assignments that fall outside their core duties, is catching on, especially among Gen Zers.
Zaid Khan, 24, an engineer from New York, popularized this trend with his viral Tiktok video in July.
"You are still performing your duties, but you are no longer subscribing to the hustle culture mentally that work has to be our life," Khan says in his video. "The reality is, it's not, and your worth as a person is not defined by your labor."
In the U.S., quiet quitting could also be a backlash to so-called hustle culture - the 24/7 startup grind popularized by figures like Gary Vaynerchuk and others.
"Quiet quitting is an antidote to hustle culture," said Nadia De Ala, founder of Real You Leadership, who "quietly quit" her job about five years ago. "It is almost direct resistance and disruption of hustle culture. And I think it's exciting that more people are doing it."
Last year, the Great Resignation dominated the economic news cycle. Now, during the second half of 2022, it's the quiet quitting trend that's gaining momentum at a time when the rate of U.S. productivity is raising some concern. Data on U.S. worker productivity posted its biggest annual drop in the second quarter.
So, why is this trend on the rise? Watch the video above to learn whether quiet quitting is hurting the U.S. economy and how it's being seen as part of the Great Resignation narrative.

How 'Quiet Quitting' Became The Next Phase Of The Great Resignation
Not responding after 5 isn’t “quiet quitting”, it’s having clear boundaries.
Employers want we employees have no life to live but live working to death.
@@millennial8441yup exactly, but they won't think twice about throwing us to the wolves if it can increase their revenue by even a quarter
Yeah.
🙏
I broke up with a guy after a couple months of dating cuz he would respond to emails at night when we were together. I (politely) told him to leave work for work hours and he wouldn’t I don’t know why exactly but I’m not gonna live like that. So ya I stopped seeing him. Sadly. He seemed like a keeper but not worth it for me.
Soo for ppl like Elon musk (who I like) that say we need to have more babies.. welll what if that guy I was dating didn’t work outside work hours? What if he wasn’t checking work emails at 9oclock at night? Could he and I haven been a successful couple? Could we have had a child or two?
These are serious things to take into consideration. Emails didn’t exist before 1990s..
The fact it’s even called “quiet quitting” is gaslighting. If you want 50, 60 hours of work out of your employees, then pay them for 50-60 hours of work. Companies refuse to raise salaries to match inflation then complain when employees won’t give them free after-hours labor.
Facts
100%
Exactly!
Exactly, productivity doesn't correlate with greater rewards for the worker, only the employer. 4 decades of stagnant wages despite unprecedented productivity, and the employers are crying that people are suddenly no longer motivated to go above and beyond. Does the employer ever go above and beyond for the worker? No. It's a rigged game and people are sick of it.
Exactly, they want you to work for free aka slave work. Some of us actually try to learn a new skill outside of the day job and don't like ppl wasting their time. If you can't get the workload done in the allotted 40hrs a week then that means you need to hire more workers -and I stand by that. If you have someone constantly working 50-60 hrs then that mean you have the work of 1.5 employees so you need to hire a gaht dang intern for that extra 10-20hr of extra time if the work doesn't justify hiring a new reg worker bc someone at the top is collecting on that extra 10-20hr of free work that you are generating.
"If you're quiet quitting, you're definitely not working for me!"
That's the point.
I know right lol
Like who would wanna work for u.. good luck finding someone that doesnt have a life
@@pm200183 I'd rather focus on how to take him out of business! If you're working for someone thats just exactly what you're doing
Maybe one of the sharks will escape from the tank and jump up on the yacht and eat him!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
"if you're not giving raises, you're definitely not using me!"
“Most overworked and most underpaid generation”. Never rang more true.
Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.
@@Florencecoxx I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@Florencecoxx You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe?
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about Gary Mason Brooks , I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that he’s very good in trading..Highly recommended.
@@thirtyonesolid This is the Fourth time I'm seeing someone talking about Mr Gary as there are lot of testimonies about him, do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him.?
Businesses like to call it “quiet quitting” bc they want us to feel bad about not working for free.
Businesses didnt coin that term quiet quitter. Business call quiet quitters as what it is Slackers dragging down productivity.
What businesses are doing is called "quiet exploitation". We definitely need a whole lot of "quiet quitting" to level the playing field.
@@Soshiaircon91 Thanks for the input. I think slacking is when people don’t do their jobs as expected or outlined. QQ, in my understanding, is about people not feeling like wanting to do more than they are paid for. This is a serious social debate that revolves around ideas of capitalism, fair wages, income disparities, etc. It is a concern amongst a vast population of Americans who feel exploited in their work place. Many want what they see is a healthy work-life balance in which they are not manipulated with unreachable dangling carrots that amount to rotten mush by the time they close in. I understand that many do not hold this opinion and instead see hustle culture as a more viable approach in their careers.
Before E mail all work was quite quiting
@@InvestingAlex Start with you . Stay home .
"Quiet Quitting" is basically just asserting your boundaries with your employer and not being taken advantage of, period.
I agree.
Exactly! Boomers and capitalist are too narcissist to accept when gen y and gen z put boundaries on their job. Lol
@Gio M No worries I wont. Asserting my boundaries with my employer IS what makes me succeful in what matters the most in my life, I am a "go-getter" when it comes to creating the life i want for myself. You are free to live life without boundaries but dont complain when alone on your deathbed when you realize that you gave all you had, yet youve been replaced, when you realise that because you were so busy giving everything without boundaries you don't know your spouse and your children and you missed out on bonding living and creating memories with them all for the sake of "sucess" that you lost anyways.
Me from the start but even then they still Find a way
Wrong
My boss at my current job “lectured” me for checking my email when I got home from vacation, telling me just to wait for my next shift. That’s the kind of company you should be working for, ones that respect your work life balance.
Lies again? Quit Smoking
@@NazriB why you keep spamming similar comments everywhere?
Exactly, this is what quite quitters are doing it for they are putting the base energy into their current job that is not respecting their boundaries while they find a job that will! I can't believe how ignorant CNBC is being here!
Walmart was the same to me. They know that they can get into legal trouble if they are caught working you off the clock, so they make it a huge point to say not to work while clocked out.
What company do you work for?
Hard work gets rewarded with more work.
And more money if you're adding real value, not just making a head count.
@Howardm-fy8ir That isn't always the case. Why are you so adamant on this issue? You're ignoring all of these people's personal stories that contradict your hilariously narrow world view.
@@Howardm-fy8iryeeeaaaaa, no
@@Howardm-fy8ir I smell CEO
Ah yes, "quiet quitting".
Also known as "respecting the time for your own personal life."
Also known as "Work to Rule."
Seriously! This headline is so annoying
I feel like quiet quitting is actually doing the bare minimum on the clock, and even less if they can get away with it. Quiet quitting definitely isn't not responding outside of work hours, nobody should be doing that.
Haha! I almost chocked on my cereal when I heard "not replying to messages after work hours" like seriously? It's like companies are getting upset that we're not giving in to this toxic mentality.
@@seangray5897 No, it’s just misnamed. Doing the bare minimum on the clock is just called being unambitious. This right here is just called self respect.
Kevin O'leary: "If you're a quiet quitter, you're not working for me."
Me: "Sounds good."
Also the "Hopefully we'll see employees being productive and employers being successful" closing line was an interesting way to tell on themselves. ~Just doing your job isn't good enough, you need to be working as hard as you possibly can so I can be rich!~
sorry, Kevin. I have better things to do than make you more $ Millions.
Me: it’s fine I got my business that finally took off and my side hustles.
Kevin O'leary bought and pushed FTX. He is a LOSER.
Millionaires who get butt hurt
If companies want employees to go above and beyond then the company also has to go above and beyond.
Like which company for an instance?
Agreed.
Respect, and then Loyalty should be earned, not just demanded - by *both* parties involved.
@@Howardm-fy8irwhat a silly question to ask….all companies, duh.
@@Howardm-fy8ir Any company that has staff. You get what you pay for. Don't let them fool you into believing that they don't already know this or can't afford it. Soaring corporate profits and executive/shareholder compensation tell a different story. They're gonna fight to keep that.
It should be "people don't want to be slaves anymore! " Instead of "people don't want to work anymore" Many people, particularly the younger generation, use a range of unconventional methods of earning a living these days. I worked in the retail for over 10 years, so l'm quite happy that this is taking place. For too long, retail bullied me and a lot of my employees/colleagues saying things like "if you don't like it,go; another like you is waiting to get into your position " since the COVID, I found a job that helps me grow, pays me more and Values Me Social media cleared the way for a rapidly expanding market, and it taught us a lot. 2020 was my turning point, and investment helped alot!
You're very right.
There's almost nothing interesting or motivating about 9-5 anymore
The majority of this new generation loves working remotely and prefers to be their own boss!
yeah the 2020 pandemic gave everyone a big rethink! I tried a lot of things; I realised I shouldn't just let my savings sit around in the bank, tried side hustles. It paid off! Right now I’ve got less work time, time for my family and stick making the 6 figures
Speaking about investing, what worthwhile Investments are you making? And how do you do it ? I can learn and put my savings into good use
Having to spend time with Family, that's the real MVP! 🏆 Time is your major asset as a human but these corporation try to steal it sadly.
Unbelievable how CNBC managed to turn this issue in favour of companies. Quiet quitting does not mean we don't work, it means we set boundaries. It's called a 9/5, not a 24/7.
Dislike
Facts
It's not unbelievable, CNBC is one of those companies.
Exactly my thoughts!!!
Wait, you guys work 9-5? I work 6: 30-5 :(
Not for much longer. Tables are turning. Quiet quitting is pathetic.
Doing your shift and going home should not be seen as a bad thing. I do whats in my job description to stay employed and that's it. I've gone above and beyond and that was at a low paying job with no upside. This is not a generational issue, this is just people waking up and not wanting to be exploited anymore.
They think we are slave’s
Yup, and as the old saying, those who exploit are the 1% people, the richest of richest
Well said.
@@metoland4196 They want to treat people like slaves, that's for sure.
It is called slacking, people quiet quitting should expects getting quietly getting fired. TBH most quiet quitter often drag down team productivity making others pick up their work they need to be called out be warned for their low productivity unless your job or employer do not care about that at all.
People are realizing working then dying isn't a great plan; and buying yourself stuff in between to make yourself feel better doesn't work anymore.
This!
I’m no longer bending over backwards and risking my mental health. I learned this the hard way and now I’m trying to get back to a healthy mental state.
Define a healthy mental state...
I grew up in the 70s in Europe and the slogan was "eight hours of labor, eight hours of recreation, eight hours of rest". Later, I moved to the US and started to hear all kinds of buzzwords like employee engagement, hustle culture, and maximizing billable hours. It made me realize how US companies are exploiting their workers to the maximum without any extra compensation.
People would laugh at that in the United States. If you work a physically demanding job you'd be able to say that, but you wouldn't get away with calling office work "labor"
And why do you need 8 *full* hours of recreation? Sounds lazy to me, if it was for studying it would be a *maybe*
And how does commute factor into all of this? If I wake up an hour before my job to get ready doesn't that make it 8 hours work, 7 hours recreation and an hour of commute
Does the commute time come out of your sleep, recreation or work?
Thank you for your comment. I think the US elites' wealth comes from exploiting labor. The European worker is doing better than the US worker because they don't let themselves get brainwashed like the idiot who replied to you earlier.
@@youtubeaccount5673 You honestly live in a bubble, not everywhere does it take an hour to reach your office. Not every country has congestion and traffic like the US does.
Most communities in other parts of the world do not live like that in the US. You can bicycle your way to work in 10-15 mins in a lot of places.
US is one of the worst cases of too much capitalism and company oriented culture. You guys are being overworked without realizing it and taking pride in it.
Hussle culture and all of these buzzwords are laughed at by the rest of the world. These "gurus" promoting 100 hour work weeks and hussle culture are nothing but clowns. Ofc you can decide to live in an echo chamber and continue to believe what you do.
Imagine a guy on public TV saying if you "quite quit" you are not working for me. Dude who wants to work for you? If you cannot respect your employees nobody will want to work there.
*ITS NOT QUIET QUITTING* its doing the work you are paid to do...
Where I live the concept of answering work emails after work is f-uked up. In any nearby countries, it is illegal for your boss to send you them.
Oh the horror, people doing what they’re paid to do without extra free labor! What is the world coming to?? 🤡
Quiet! Quitter...
🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽
you're not going to make it. NGMI.
Lol exactly
I do not believe that today workers are NOT paid for extra hours. On one hand they complain about low wages on the other hand they do not show that they want to earn more .
DO not complain about inflation . You are asking more $$ for labor , i am going to ask for more money for my product and services .
It have to balance out somewhere .
Don't ask for time off any more, you earned the time, just take it. Quiet quitting is exposing that these companies need employees more than we need them.
Really? Do tell...
Employees don’t just do this on a whim, they have to be driven to it. It screams “failure to lead staff properly”.
Quiet quitting is a stress response. When you feel disrespected by your employer you might lash out at other employees (fight response). When you feel disengaged, you don't participate in work events (flight response). When you feel anxious or fearful from a manager who is demanding (freeze response). When you feel you have to do it all (fawning response). Basically all your energy is in survival and you don't have the capacity to go beyond the parameters of a regular work day. The cortisol is flowing through your body for 8 hours straight - this is not normal for the human body.
Great thought Connie ..
💯 and in America more people die from stress filled jobs, and turn to Alcohol or drugs (I prefer weed) to help ease the suffering from these toxic jobs.
@@METALHEAD550weed makes the trick of faking being good employees when the only thing that matters is smoking pot, b#st a Nu-t and listen some music away from corporations ties. F' minimum wage b@stard employers!
This is spot on.
So well said 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I used to work a job where I honestly gave 120% everyday. When Covid happened,I was working 15-17 hours a day making sure we were always ahead of the work flow. When raise time came around, my manager explained that the “top performer” raise was unobtainable because perfect people don’t exist, and I got the same raise that my coworkers who only did their 8 hours got. That was one of the most disheartening lessons that I ever learned. I’m now that guy that warns new people against going above and beyond, to me quiet quitting is the epitome of working smarter not harder.
@@poollife777 he's a worker bee. If he was smart he would had been quit.
I agree. I've done so much overtime and have never been told thanks. Never received any recognition for the good work I do. I recently had a situation where I decided to make a smart decision. It's not part of my job but I did it because I thought it might be a good idea. Unexpectedly, there was a problem and, thanks to the work I had done, it was solved in an hour when it could have been a huge thing that went on for weeks. No one even said thank you. Whenever i have a review with my manager, we just focus on whether I have met my KPIs, nothing extra. So why would I do extra when there is no reward for it?
People with exceptional work ethic like yours would do better in jobs where hard work is directly rewarded, such as sales commission jobs or running your own business. As long as you're working in jobs where you're not paid on your results, you'll always be underpaid and undervalued.
Preach it from the hilltops !!!!
Keep your outstanding work ethic! Just find an employer who appreciates you, or use that drive to open your own business.
For years...bosses kept saying, "if you don't like you job, then quit."
Guess what, we all took that advice.
Truth
Those are also the bosses now wondering where are all of the workers. Pifft. 😒This is everywhere. Even Asian nations are practicing this,,, it's called tang ping, "lying down" which is to do the bare minimal for survival.
I swear. It happened in my office too. The manager kept saying he will remove who is not working well. Then got mad the lady decided to quit.
@@kanikagaral7637 can we all agree that no one should work more than 40 hours.
@@Swede.from.Boston yeah 40 hrs is good and if overtime is done people should be paid for that
Been at same company for 3 years now. My “above and beyond” never got me a raise. I will be doing the bare minimum required.
Also while looking for other work
LETS NORMALIZE THIS. I have a life outside of work, and that shouldn’t be brought into work, or at home when I’m off work.
Simple facts: Most jobs will pay you just enough for you not to quit and most employees will work just enough not to be fired. I think is a fair deal. I’m sorry, but the reality is that the company will never go above and beyond for you, so why would you go above and beyond for it?
Agree
💯
Agree
Yes this is called free market.
I wish other people were this, simply put, aware. It's not wrong to say what you said just simply stating the facts. Some people will say, "oh, you're lazy." It's so easy for people to be ignorant rather than to accept the truth we are all just human in the end
I don’t know why people call it quiet quitting. This movement is just about not killing yourself for a job or career. This should be the normal. Do your job while you are on the clock and that’s it. No more no less.
I think it should be changed to “acting your wage”
Laughs in Asia
It’s a North American thing.
That attitude will get FIRED! Now the economy is OK; when the economy tanks, you will be the first one to get laid off, and employees with great work ethics, the ones go above and beyond, will be appreciated and stay on the job.
@@SamA-ho8uj man your employer must be able to get away with a lot from you.
In the 1970s and 1980s we called this "maintaining a healthy work/life balance." Then it was easier, because if the boss called after hours and I wasn't at home, they would have to leave a message on my answering machine on my home phone.
Listening to O'leary, it hit me hard that he wants his employees to work extra hours and give up watching their kids soccer matches for no additional compensation. If his employees are salaried, thereby exempt from the federal overtime pay laws, while not paying them for their overtime is not illegal, it is a form of wage theft.
I love how one guy said- if you’re a quiet quitter you don’t/ won’t work for me. Yes mister, we evolved and adapt to our own personal need. If you want to die full of money, go ahead- bring that to your grave. Don’t drag us along with you- run your company with zero employees, see how that’ll work😂 the ego of some execs are just laughable
Preach!!
Everywhere I’ve heard of this behavior online, it’s usually just called “setting boundaries“. It’s laughable to think that’s synonymous with quitting your job.
The propaganda is strong.
not quitting your job, quitting your job at 5pm
It's American Culture. The Germans are known as very productive workers, yet they don't work much overtime, if at all. In Germany, if you're working overtime, you're not being efficient enough, rather than "going above and beyond".
@@Jens_Heika lol. Of course, the Germans always have to come out on top of everything…
But I do agree with your statement about being an efficient worker.
This. Exactly.
What's described as "quiet quitting" is totally normal work/life balance in many countries in Europe...
Germans are known for their productivity, and they don't work overtime. If you work overtime in German, something has gone wrong.
Yet we are supposed to be a free nation where there is a constitutional amendment saying we cannot be force into servitude without compensation. And employers are allowed to hold people's livelihoods over their heads.
And that’s why y’all are a hot socialist mess
I work for a software company based in UK online with 5 hours time difference. I work 9:00-18:00 local time. They asked me to work out of my work hours only a few times in 2 years. And that is mostly caused by time difference. They always paid for that extra hours. I had burnout in my past job, quit it and had severe depression for a year. I am happy with my new job and I am productive.
yes, but US and Europe are two very different.
We can't even shut up and do our work peacefully without getting involved in office politics or office drama, without being called "quiet quitters" is disgusting!
The person who invented this word is probably a salty employer who can't keep his talents around
a proud quiet quitter here and have never been happier. i was working my ass off and getting no recognition in return. now i dont stress too much work. i still do quality work just dont go 'above and beyond' on a regular basis. its improved the quality of my life so much.
When you’re a hard worker, your employer just takes advantage of you. It just leads to abuse and burnout.
Yep. Plus, they don’t promote people who are solving lots of problems where they are.
it took a while for workers to realize this AND actually act...I'm my early 20s when i started to work, i couldn't believe why so many people were trying to work and go above and beyond for their employers, I mean they're going to be multimillionaires from the excessive work, their bosses will lol. But finally people are realizing it.
💯 I learnt this the hard way.
I know this feeling. I have been in my job for 7 years now and last year (2022) was one of the hardest we had. Our team worked really hard and I most of all. Our supervisor announced he was resigning just before Christmas and the manager announced they were spliting his role into two team leader roles. I applied for one of the two roles (as a large number of the office was almost begging me to go for it) and 2 days after putting in the application the manager told me they would not accept the application as I "had no team leader skills" and they wanted a strong person to lead the growing team. I had applied for the full role four years ago and was told I would receive help in obtaining the skils required but four years later, nothing has been done. I will be expected to teach the new person what they need to do in the role given my experiance. It has left me with a great discouragement in regards to trusting management.
@@michaelpapadopoulos3756 did they ever hire a supervisor for that roll
It's not quiet quitting, it's working the hours agreed upon when you were hired
How is this so hard to understand? The occasional weekend phone call is acceptable. However, we are now expected to answer the phone or check emails at any time. Employers do not own employees or their time outside of paid hours. And that's only one reason ...
Bingo. When our employers refuses to pay overtime, yet keep adding and adding all the after hours works off the book..... And when we demand that we need our OT paid and justified, and then got retaliations in the end. CIAO.
Exactly. If you’re expected to work outside of those hours, it needs to be stated and compensation is to be provided. Can’t get away with exploiting workers in this labor market, and employers are reeling.
@@joefly6483 "The occasional weekend phone call is acceptable."
NO
Another reason could be due to the rise of nepotism and B-grade managers. I'm a big advocate of working in an office, but I've noticed that after the pandemic, companies are hiring bad managers through their networks to save costs. This is giving carte blanche to managers who are subpar in their fields and is effectively making the workplace toxic.
It’s nothing new at all...
I used to give 200% on my job every single time. It wasn't a hustle or anything, I just cared about my team and wanted to be a strong contributor and see all of us succeed.
After almost 2 years, I noticed I would cry uncontrollably from exhaustion, I could barely eat, sleep and my mind was in a constant fog. It got so bad that I needed to nap before driving because I would sometimes blackout from fatigue and stress.
I think going beyond and putting in my hours during critical moments are okay, since there are exceptions with legitimate reasons.
But "quiet quitting" because you're trying to fight burnout seems like a fair response. Companies should really take care of their employees who perform and contribute because if you lose them, you lose a lot. I just hope the lazy and underperforming employees don't use this as an excuse to get away from real work.
I hope you're not going through that anymore. Please take care of yourself. Sleep good, eat good and remember these companies will replace a person so fast so please don't stress
The only people mad about “quiet quitting” are the people that advantage of their workers🤣 he really said “if you’re quiet quitting, you’re not working for me” was I supposed to be hurt lmao
They're scared of the workers, that's why
He’s just mad that no one really wants to work for him but won’t say it.
people should not work with this guy，you’re not working with me? How dare he
That' same guy was a spokesperson for SBF. Criminals conspire
you can serve me coffee at Panera and put in your 20 hours per week. no one's mad at you. i'll tip you too.
Quiet quitting means not giving 120% like their parents did for years to a company who not only were never rewarded for the effort but were let go for younger talent to take their place. The younger workers saw the abuse and refuse to go down that path.
Whatever. Their parents did slacking at work which is no different from
Quiet quitting. Millennials and GenZ are doing nothing new.. just a bunch of slackers like their parents.
As well, large amounts of overtime these days does not equate to more pay on your cheque, in fact it often is LESS because you are bumped into a different tax bracket. I went above and beyond for years and it NEVER benefited me and ended up affecting my health. So not worth it and rarely appreciated but expected once you start .
@@debbietodd8547 Thats not how tax brackets work. You always make more when working paid OT, just might not be worth it.
That's my thought as well, working n living as it should, won't giving all of my time just for work
The 24/7 access to technology wasn’t as available when the older generations were working. It was a lot harder to expect people to keep working without cell phones and the internet being what they are now. Just because people now can work around the clock, doesn’t mean they should.
Life is short…the pandemic brought home that reality. So I’m not willing to pass the majority of my time with people that do not care about me. 40 hours a week is enough.
So you'd rather listen to people you don't know telling to gradually slide into mediocre...
If quiet quitting is "I refuse to work for this terrible, souless company that treats me as nothing but cheap labor and a number" then call me a quitter.
The guy that keep saying"you don't work for me" is exactly who quiet quiting is meant for.
As if anyone wants to be his salary slave. Lmao
A shtty boss who can’t manage his time.
"If you are quiet quitting, you are not gonna be working for me"
"Yes"
"You don't work for me." "*shrugs shoulders* Ok."
That's Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank.
If a person is doing their job, and getting their tasks completed, that is not quitting
Are we supposed to be scared of chicken pox or monkey pox now
@@n3wt what the hell are you even talking about ?
Quiting over task out side your job title...tgey expect more for less $$$
exactly! And also, what if person even go above and beyond within his working hours, so what is the point to work overtime...
You know, you're not wearing enough flair for my liking. I was hoping you would want to express yourself
If you want “Above and beyond”, then you must pay above the market rate and pay overtime for hours beyond the working hours.
Just think it’s about people setting boundaries for a change realizing their personal life time is of valued importance and more so than their job. When I leave work I don’t check emails, don’t answer the work phone, don’t check on anything related to work. So much so, I let my work phone battery go flat dead in between . I learned a long time ago, going above and beyond got me nowhere when it was time for layoffs, as was layoff just like everyone else even those that never went above or beyond. I respect my private time, away from work.
Quiet Quitting is doing the job you are paid to do within the hours you are paid to do them. What companies want is free labor outside of their paid working hours. Threatening employees with the risk of losing their job security over another employee who chooses to exceed their required job expectations is disgusting.
Quiet quitters are the first to be let go. Disgusting or not, that's the truth.
@@networth00 I disagree. If the person who just does the 9 - 5 and hitting the targets or doing better than the target is let go, over someone who appears to start early/leave late yet not achieving the same goals on a per hour basis isn't a good business decision as talent will easily get employment elsewhere.

Back in the 80s 90s I was working full time and raising a family. Some of my coworkers were putting in unpaid overtime, volunteering for after work activities that were pet projects of the boss, and other extracurricular stuff. These folks got the promotions while I waited for the same advancement. It seems that taking care of my family on my own time was causing problems with my career loyalty. Anyway, its good to see the balance shift.
Resigned 3 years ago, was a middle management, and I'd prefer my members to go home on time except at times when there's a major problem to tackle. They'll come back on the next day with a fresh mind, full of energy, and creativity.
And when we respect their daily boundaries, they'll gladly sacrifice their time when there's a huge problem.
Quiet quitting is the result of companies trying to get more productivity done with less personnel. Burn out from too much work destroys the moral of the workforce.
Agreed, 100%. They take advantage of that and it’s annoying bc they think this is Judy normal or that there’s no way around it, the pay is bad
Then that’s your fault, do people really think that corporations care about you? You chose to work at a low income job so too bad 😂
@@supermananimationsstudios8519 company fault if they are seeing a high turnover rate.
I'm burnt out
Exactly! Many of my colleagues resigned and transferred to different companies because of burn out, worst of all HR freezes hiring new employees and the work load from the vacant positions was distributed for us to fill in. And they also added administrative tasks (Salesforce, paperworks, datas, etc.) to compensate for losses during the pandemic. I am now really thinking of quitting.

Quiet quitting isn't about not giving your best or disengagement, it's about companies respecting your personal time.

Half of quiet quitting just sounds like what is supposed to be normal work/life boundaries.
All of "quiet quitting" sounds like an employee setting boundaries and saying they won't work extra hours for free or have to constantly check for emails or surprise work when they are supposed to be relaxing or getting other responsible stuff done on their time off.
My wild guess is pre-COVID, employers were able to keep up the illusion that employees were easily replaceable and if you weren't willing to do "x" (insert unreasonable and uncompensated demand here), they'd fire you and hire someone who would. Now that employers are having a harder time getting employees, they weep and wail and gnash their teeth that "nobody wants to work" anymore when its really just that we're tired of being overworked, underpaid, and exploited.
Feels like it’s a made-up term by middle and upper management post-COVID because they realized they cannot control their workers. So quite quitting just mean average when they want exceptional.

"Half" ?
It speaks volumes about how messed up the American work culture is that it's considered quitting to simply work the hours you're paid for. Everything beyond that is actually unpaid labor.
The bosses are trying to brainwash people and make them afraid
Actually, that's the core principle of capitalism: pay workers less than the value they add.

@@marvinstorm9153 he should go above and beyond for the same reasons that make us talk about quiet quitting in the first place.
You can't expect your employee to go above and beyond, while you aren't doing it either.
I didn't know that "doing your job you're paid for" was considered quiet quitting. You get paid for a set amount of work, once work is done, you've done your job.
This speak volumes to the entitlement of many businesses that refusing to do more than you're supposed to is considered "quiet quitting".
People should respect boundaries. Where I work, the working hours is flexible so some people might work at 10am and log off at 6pm or start at 7 and end the day at 3pm and I have enough respect for my coworkers to be aware of what time certain people get off so whatever questions I have can wait til the next working day.
Well now you know. 😊
It’s like that douchenozzle CEO/investor loudmouth said in the full non-redacted interview: he stated something to the effect that there are 8 days a week and 25 hours in a day (if not exactly this).
He’s a fine example of the insane running the asylum.
I thought the same thing. This response most likely indicates they have been getting away with this behavior for far too long, therefore, now it is simply expected. But let's be real...they were & are making a lot of profit off the slave labor of those with the "audacity" to "quiet quit." I mean it could always be worse...the quitting could be happening a lot more loudly & in a far more organized way😳😉😜
If you are a salaried employee like I was you are expected to work a certain number of hours off site.
In 2018-2019, I was working enough overtime to double my paycheck. 7am to 9pm. It was awesome. I was on the quick lane to paying off my mortgage and buying myself a new car by the end of the year. The longer I worked in the same department, though, the more my teammates and leadership had something to say about how I did my work. Not that I was making a bunch of errors. I’d found a way to finish everything I started and not let any work (or very little) expire. They wanted me to let them cut in and finish up the work I’d started and for me to pick up theirs and finish it off. They also didn’t like how I noted my work despite all the information needed for records being there. It got old. When new leadership came in and the conditions of the work environment got worse - every few days - I decided it was time to get back in school and, consequently, had no time for overtime. My bosses decided to mandate it. One said she noticed I didn’t maintain production when I’m burnt out. She and another dropped that classic line “if you don’t like it here, you don’t have to be. You can leave whenever you like. There are several other people that would love to work here”. I don’t feel valued here and I might _not_ be valuable in their perspective. I’m not quiet quitting (I have nowhere else to go currently). I just …don’t want to sign up for extra hours of somebody treating me like the boy who lived under the stairs. I actually had one boss shouting at me in the kitchen loud enough for people across the floor to hear. She didn’t like how succinct my notes are. I promise you, my note structure is exactly the way my trainer told me to do it.
"If you only work 9 to 5, and want a life, you will not work for me"
Ok. I do not want to work for you.
“Quiet Quitting” is such a misnomer. You can be an outstanding and exceptional employee without neglecting your personal life. If your boss thinks that you not answering an email over the weekend is somehow you being lazy, then your boss is a tyrant.
Look at it from the boss's perspective: Why would they want to pay someone for eight hours of work and only get eight hours from it, when they could find someone more dedicated who will work for ten hours while being paid for eight?
If your boss' idea of a good employee is someone who answers an email on the weekend, their eye isn't on the ball. Profitable employees find ways to reduce the resources required to do whatever the company does. Don't give points for effort.
@@vylbird8014 Then pay that sucker ill go work else where.
@@devinmcmanus Work smarter, not harder. Exactly. Plus a lot of the things employers stack on for extra tasks without explanation are just exploitation, and physical labor meant to exclude disabled and/or neurodivergent workers.
If it's a salaried job, they can call it 8 hours or 10 hours a day, but that's not what I'm hung up about. I just want the option to negotiate my salary down to 30 or even 20 hours a week. But that's not an option in the US because our health insurance is tied to our employment status, and our healthcare insurance costs are the same no matter how many hours we work per day. So naturally, employers are going to want to milk us for as many hours as we got. Let's decouple healthcare from employers, and that's a first step to resolving this problem.

Companies have brought this upon themselves by treating employees as disposable. Gone are the days of going above and beyond and showing loyalty. Treat your people well and do the same for them and it has the potential of coming back again.
I think it boils down to pay. If you want employees to be on call 24/7, then pay them accordingly.
Employers don’t care. That’s not their job. At least that’s what they say. I don’t believe in such things
Or AT LEAST stipulate it in your contract. All of the free market republicans and libertarians here seem to be overjoyed in the comments about employers not following their contracts.
It's not quiet quitting it's acting your wage.
Precisely. Employers should get training on this since they cannot get it through their head that the things they ask for nobody is willing to do for free.
Yep. I have been working for a company where I was on call basically 24/7. Did I get call time? Nope. They would look at you like you like you had 3 heads in you even asked.
Then, my company buys out a competitor that does the same job. Not only did those employees get paid to be on call, they continue to get paid to be on call after we acquire them, and we still don't.
As a bonus. We were trained to support their systems, in addition to ours, so we supported multiple systems while they supported one, yet we still got paid less.
This is the norm, not the exception. No matter who I talk to. Every company now has management that is so utterly clueless and incompetent it is embarrassing. Most of us are literally living in some dystopian Dilbert cartoon. It is like someone took the movie Idiocracy and used that as a model for management training.
It’s funny how these people don’t seem to get the deeper issue. People don’t want to live their lives working all day. It’s just not worth it.
Yep. Long story short I worked for a company from 19 to 25. At 1 point I worked 19 days in a row. I worked almost every holiday because I didn't have kids, and I never called out. When the company decided to sale the building to expand at a different location, they let everyone know on a Thursday that we'd be jobless by Monday. My outstanding work ethic didn't matter any more or less than the guy who called out once a week.
I will never work arder for a business than I work for myself. I lost the first half of my 20's doing that.
Sure and wait for the government to give you everything. its called socialism and BTW it doesn't work
But homelessness is real
It’s not that employees don’t want to give more production it’s that they want to give the employer what they paid for.
It's not "quiet quitting" it is "quiet firing" or just not financially rewarding those who do put in the extra time and effort.
It's not the employee. It's the employer.
"Overtime is not the triumph of the workforce, it's the failure of the management." - Jim Sterling
narhhh that depends, if overtime is a regular thing then it's failure on the management but of it is occasionally due to emergencies or other stuffs then it's fairly normal and has to be paid though
Wow, hard words of truth right there.
it depends on the type of business.
If you have a factory, a particular machine produces 400 parts in 8 hours, and the client needs 450 per day, you need the team that runs the machine to work 9 hours instead of 8.
I heard that sentence several times from people that never worked with anything besides excel sheets, and email. The real World does not work like that.
This quote is half true.
Overtime can be caused by many things - not just failure of management.
Supply chain backed up, backlogged backorders, and then all of a sudden shipments showing up at once - thus causing overtime to get orders out fast (to maintain sales and revenue)…. Is not failure of management.
A handful of employees calling out sick for the stomach bug and it causes other employees to work overtime to get orders out…..is not failure of management.
Huge increase in sales…overtime is needed.
I could list many more examples.
In all, overtime is not (necessarily) caused by failure of management.
For the people who have an issue with overtime….that usually means you’re doing your job correctly, not managing your time correctly, and not prioritizing.
@@tzdgonz it is not a miss in management if you are limited by what the machinery can do in 8 hours, and your client wants a larger quantity.
You can tell your client no, but instead of overtime you end up with no client.
It’s a bit concerning that it’s considered a issue if someone isn’t working over their employment agreement, if you paid for 40 hours (normal work week) then that’s the amount the of time the company can expect. Especially when some companies refuse or contractually say they don’t pay overtime. Time is money right?

Feel like a few decades back companies rewarded loyalty and hard work and valued their employees for it. They also put out quality products which felt worthwhile for employees to work on and get behind. Now it’s blatantly clear most companies only care about the bottom line and will happily churn out crappier products or screw over their employees and customers if it means making more cash. If true, this might explain why people don’t want to give their time and effort to such employers.
exactly
It's called Mental Health. At some point everyone has realized that they're replaceable, but their families, their mental health, their spirituality takes priority. Your job doesn't care about you personally. You're a number. So you're going above and beyond for those that don't feel you matter in the long run. Honestly, refusing a higher paid, more stressful, position for the sake of mental health is getting more common.
"Act your wage" as a former workaholic, I support this.
I don’t know about anybody else, but personally, I’m excited to see so many people realizing that workers have the power. The system has been broken for FAR too long and workers are saying, NOPE. We won’t tolerate further exploitation.

I was "lazy, inconsiderate towards my team etc". All after 2 back injuries I took for those AHs. I work with a new company much more worthy but a back injury has come back to haunt me.

@@hermanhoppe3773 quite = quiet
Partially right information. Work-to-rule is a job action used by union backed mostly industrial workers as a preemptive position to be less disruptive than a strike or lockout. Now we have college educated, white collar, tech job, corporate job having GenZ trying to regulate how they want their work day to go. Work-to-rule will bring productive business to a grinding halt. Bus drivers will do 20 point inspections of buses before and during their shifts. Teachers refusing to work for free at night and during weekends and holidays. Refusal to work overtime, travel on duty, or sign up to other tasks requiring employee assent are other manifestations of using work-to-rule as industrial action. Who will volunteer for community events like breast cancer runs, painting over graffiti on walls @ an elementary school, or helping an animal shelter on pet adoption day? All of those free snacks in the staff kitchen and FREE catered lunch on Friday will be things of the past. Companies give back to their staff in other ways when expected to do things outside of their normal work hours. Keep playing this game and it will soon backfire!
I think this speaks more to how employees have been abused for years and are “waking up” now, rather than them becoming lazy or something. We (employees) allowed this situation to get this bad by allowing employers to walk all over us for years. Quiet quitting is vital to resetting the balance. Also f*** Kevin O’Leary. Did you see how angry he was about it? That’s exactly the reaction we want to see from the power hungry rich people. It means it works.
Kevin is overvalued himself and his company
He says "if you want a 9to5 then time off to go enjoy a soccer game, those people don't work for me." he doesn't want workers, it sounds more like he wants slaves man. If I worked for someone who said they didn't want me spending time with friends/family/myself I would think they're psychopaths. Maybe it works for single men/women who just want to make fat stacks but for people who want to LIVE life nah.
Yup you are right. I'm wondering what to do which will have an impact?
Just hope a big company makes a huge chance in their system and the chain should be spoiled. Worth it.
Big MFS like Kevin, Jeff make so many trillions and exploit others.
Really hard to even make unity amongst employees, cause all have problems and are too broad minded.
quiet quitting allows you to follow the contract you were assigned because thats what you agreed to when taking the job that you applied for. If your employer takes issue with that, then they never intended to follow the contracted agreement THEY made and knew full well they were going to try and abuse you.
I think calling it “quiet quitting” does a lot of harm in terms of framing the concept in peoples minds. It’s not quitting- it’s doing what you’re there (and getting paid) to do and closing the laptop and going about your life thereafter. Really can’t say I disagree with that
Plus, it shifts the blame to workers for wanting a healthier work-life balance, as opposed to the companies and managers that refuse to pay a proper raise with any sort of benefits while giving CEOs a boost in their salary.
Quiet is better than violet or murderous = I am ok with it.
Yeah, i agree. Quiet quitting to me sounds like quiting a job one day and never showing up after that. I think a better term for it would be finishing a shift. Im also purplexted that this is getting attention of news? This is not a new thing; its been happening since the dawn of working careers
I actually had been doing this when I was in the job market when I was younger.
I don't think its 'new', I just think its happening more frequently.
My last job I held before starting my own business was at a factory, my job was to deliver packages to the higher-ups, and to deliver sensitive urgent packages across departments, for QA testing or whatever else.
Anyways, they kept asking me to do more, without a pay increase.
It started with only cleaning here and there, dusting, a little mopping, but eventually, I was essentially a full-time cleaner, tasked additionally with inventory management of the entire factories PPE equipment, AND I stocked all of the PPE in the entire factory, again, without a pay increase.
The main reason I didn't protest was because they weren't difficult to work for, and gave me allot of freedom in how my job was done, when I did what, when I chose my lunch break, etc.
I was helping them, so in return, I was given freedom.
So for me, it was fine.
The main breaking point for me was when I made a mistake, I forgot to deliver a package and left it at the front desk, first time ever, apparently they called my manager, who got all angry that I forgot it.
He then called me into his office, and wrote me up for 'not doing my duties' and outlined my 'job route', aka my job duties, and told me I needed to do them, and essentially tried to tighten the leash around my neck for no reason.
The funny part was, all the extra stuff required of me was NOT on the route.
So I conceded, and said I'd do exactly what was on the sheet.
Next day, he calls me in to complain that I'm not 'doing my job', I told him I was doing my job, what was on the sheet, as I was told, and nothing else.
He then created a new sheet, which also had errors and missing duties.
Several attempts later he is obviously extremely fed up with me, and I'm very fed up with him, he started to write me up over non-sensical things, whatever he could, he and the other manager told me I was 'replaceable' and they could 'do my job' so I essentially needed to get in line.
They told me my new office was going to be located in the same office as the managers, in my opinion it was an attempt to shadow me for replacement.
Keep in mind, I had designed new systems for this job on my work PC, entire inventory management systems, that were updated, etc, to help them out, I was generally good with tech, too good to be an employee at this place, and all of it was MINE and only used by me, and, the only person who taught me the job duties, the ins and outs, the little things not listed, and knew the job well was the previous employee, who was obviously gone now.
Needless to say I quit without notice after that discussion, and reveled in the fact I knew they were severely f*cked without me, and a massive multi-million dollar factory was going to suffer significantly due to their ego's.
It's a conspiracy. The rich elite created this term in order to create stigma and out a negative light on workers just doing their jobs and not overworking.
It's not "quiet quitting ", it's giving an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.
Heavy on the "Honest" too 😂😂

It's like a game of Monopoly. It's 1am, and all the properties are sold. It's getting tedious, and eventually, people start saying, "I'm going to bed". There is nothing real left to expect from a job, yet they expect our best?
Its presumptuous for a company to think they own all your time or that you owe them extra free time especially when the demand is for their profits. I believe in doing your job well, slacking on the clock is stealing but when its quitting time, youre done; otherwise, they are stealing.
The hoops they jump through to disengage this as a “wacky trend” instead of millions demanding reasonable working conditions is so American it hurts a little.
My thoughts exactly.
Decades of bootstrap philosophy will do that to a country. Really sad to see.
It's professional gaslighting.
Capıtalist própaganda is a powerful thing.
It's a total wank
In Europe, this is even protected by law. And years ago France introduced a law, that employees don’t have to answer emails after end of work or weekends.
And Europe for all intents and purposes, broke.
It's sad that a law has to be put in place for this in the first place.
This is amazing! They must care more about the family there.
I have seen some high level people hating this culture rather than understanding the reason why this rule was at first place.
@@tsjoshi Lol what?
Just the mental anguish of having a job, fearing being kicked out at any time for any reason is enough to make a person tired or even drive a person crazy. No job is even secure. Not to mention waking up early every day, giving your all, it not being appreciated, and NOT GETTING PAID ENOUGH. Having a job almost means having no life and barley any pay. I would rather work to live, not live to work.
Imagine being able to fire someone anytime you want and them not caring about their job. There's no security. There's no loyalty. I wouldn't even be there if I didn't get paid. Companies don't understand any of this.
I used to go "above and beyond" for my company until I stepped back and realized, I was being treated the same as those who did the "bare minimum" or just worked a typical 40 hour week. I would skip lunch breaks to get work done, I would come home close to midnight on most days, and I would wake up the next day, only to do it all over again. When my annual performance review came around, I got a 3% raise. A 3% raise was a $2 dollar increase for me. WooHoo! All that hard work and that's what I got back in return. Better than throwing us a pizza party I suppose.
It took some serious blows to realize that bending over backwards for a company is simply not worth it. If you died tomorrow, your company would replace you in a week. I agree with the comments under this video...if your company is not going above and beyond for you, why should you be doing the same for them? I'm glad to see that people are fighting back on employee exploitation and setting boundaries for themselves. The pandemic really opened everyone's eyes and corporate America can't handle it.
Last week the CEO of the hospital I work at sent out a long-winded email about how we had a great fiscal year and made lots of money, all thanks to us fantastic employees who make it possible. Then in a meeting the following Monday the director said that our annual raise was only going to be 3% because that's all they can afford. After that, they proceed to play a video about how we cured some girls cancer with my division's breakthrough miracle viral vector. It was a lame attempt to tug on our heartstrings after telling us about a sub-par raise. All that does is motivate me to job hunt.
*Corporate America can't afford it
Ohhhh you already made $67 an hour and only got a two dollar raise in a tight economy?? Poor you
@@Andreas-iv8ym even if this were true it's not the right response. " Workers " need to stick together, or they'll use this type of argument to separate us and just pay others a lower but still unfair wage.
It doesn't become "your" problem until it's "your" problem and you are not the one getting what seems fair to you, but this is a worker vs owner/management issue. We need to stick together or we will lose this fight.
@@Andreas-iv8ym What are you smoking where you think anyone doing the grunt work in research is making $67 an hour?
As a quiet quitting truck driver, the only time I go the extra mile is when I miss my exit 👆🏾 I'm here to perform a job based on agreed up on wages and tasks expected of me. Outside of that, I got nothing more to give. Fair is fair.
im a mailman and same here, i do like my job but if your driveway isn't cleared of snow, car parked in front of the mailbox or ur dog is loose ur mail can wait till tomorrow

Totally fair 💯
Lol people are so emotional when it comes to the work relationship on both ends! If they just see the transaction as a business for both the worker and the employer then it’s fair to say that what you pay for is what you get! If a worker is not satisfied with their pay they will only do what they feel is worth their pay and vice versa if an employer is unsatisfied with the amount of work they are getting out of the employee then they fire them and hire someone else! The thing with quiet quitters is that they are doing enough of the work where the employer still needs them and doesn’t feel it’s worth firing the employee and going through the hassle of rehiring and training someone new for the job! This is why it frustrates the employer because they are paying for something that is near fair value and not a bargain for them! Employers need to be realistic in their expectations because they can’t expect a Ferrari or Lambourgini if they are trying to pay the price equivalent of a Honda Civic! The worker who decides to quiet quit is actually very business minded and knows their worth! Doing enough not to get fired but at the same time ensuring boundaries are in place from further exploitation!
Amen to that
'If you're a quiet quitter, you're not working for me'
Kevin, you couldn't afford me.
