I remember my first job here in the US working at Target. I was commended for having the highest score on my performance chart. I always went way beyond my tasks on the job. They rewarded me by giving me an 11 cent raise. I was so furious that I just quit after that lol! Only in America!
I got called in for quiet quitting and they asked me “ how do you think you’re doing?” I said “I think my performance is in par with the pay”
Don't overwork yourself, its not about how hard you work, its about who you know and who likes you. Thats across the board in America.
"I don't believe in 2 weeks notice, I didn't even give a 2 second notice I just left." Man I needed to hear that.
I totally agree. I've worked for 35 years and going above and beyond is not valued anymore. It's the minimum expected.
“I didn’t jump into 2 hour lunch breaks immediately. I had to work my way up there” I love this man.
I didn't quiet quit. I just QUIT. I gave my all, but when it wasn't appreciated and I got a bad review, I went to lunch & didn't go back. I felt that I lost 1000 pounds of stress that day. That was in 2011 and I have never regretted it. Don't stay where you are not appreciated! I couldn't continue to spend my life like that! 💙
since i did quiet quiting my job, i actually enjoy my life way more, i have hobbies, go to the gym, read books at home and even at work. I have a good sleep balance : 8h of sleep every day. i have a lot of free time ... im healtthier, happier, and more balanced overall
I used to be a top producing “superstar” employee until I learned how office politics really work. I saw a new employee get promoted to higher position over half the office who were much more experienced and productive, just because the new person became casino and shopping buddies on the weekend with the supervisor. My two cents: use your company as much as they will use you. My former company paid for a partial tuition discount with a university and not only did I take advantage of that, I also used company time to work on homework and study for exams. If you can get get a side hustle and grow it, by all means go for it because you cannot rely on an employer especially when the economy tanks.
I have a friend at Microsoft that volunteered to cover for a Manager that was leaving the company so he would still do his job and the bosses. They gave him both salaries because he was doing both jobs. Now that is a great response by the company. Made me think about the company I have been with for many years. I volunteered to relocate and they cut my hourly wage by $9.
“I don’t believe in two week notices.” Brian you’re my hero. 🎉
When I decided to start my own business, I stopped complaining at work. Basically, I knew I was leaving so I gave up giving a 💩 about what went on at work! A few weeks into this, my bosses called me in for a surprise meeting. I thought 💩 they’re on to me and my plans. I was sweating bullets. In the meeting they congratulated me for my attitude improvement, and they told me to keep up the good work and I would be very happy at my next performance review. When I stopped caring about what I was doing, and stopped giving suggestions for work flow improvements, I was recognized for being a model employee! 😂
I don’t think people who “quiet quit” are intending on being fired. They’re doing their work they get paid to do. There’s no reason to be fired over that.
Brian you're not alone, that's how Corporate American works. I worked for a company and was in the top 10 employees out of 200 employees, and I got a 3% raise.
I'm about to cry like I felt this and needed this video. My work ethic was amazing now it's going down because I'm burnt out and tried of getting no credit
The government came up with this. Our government has long been “quiet quitting.”
It's called "acting your wage"
Love this channel! I quiet quit my job 8 years ago. I didn’t realize that’s what it was at the time. I was depressed, gained weight, dreaded going to work. Finally came to a head and I quit. I finally started living my life again. I’m happy now, own my own successful business, and have time to see my children grow up and focus on my marriage and my wife. (I think I was headed for divorce back than). Started CrossFit and I look and feel great! I am so thankful for my life now. My biggest fear is having to ever go back to corporate life. I’m 38 now, and my 30s have been amazing! Wish I could say the same about my 20s, but at least I figured it out when I did.
You nailed it. Quiet quitting is not new. We have all been through it. Its a hard thing to reconcile when you consider yourself a hard worker.
