Don't kill yourself for a company that has no problem replacing you. A co-worker passed away from cancer and they announced it in a company meeting (multi billion dollar tech company). After announcing it, everyone went back to work as normal and her desk was filled in by a temp worker.

I can go "above and beyond" in terms of quality of my work, but I would never go "above and beyond" in terms of the time I give to a company.

It’s NOT quiet quitting. You’re not “quitting” anything. You’re just not accepting slave labor. “Anti-slavery workers”

We need more people to be like you, look past that indoctrinating toxic work mindset and realize there is more to life than just work

I'm a software developer and I've always preferred to do contract work because I get paid by the hour. I'm fine with working extra hours because I get paid for those extra hours but many companies don't want me working extra hours because it costs them money.

I switched to a public sector job, and government is full of "quiet quitters". There's no pressure to perform better so the company can make more profits. You're there to do a job, and as long as that job is done, there's no complaint.

I used to go above and beyond, had no problem staying late if needed or taking work home. Didn't matter in the long run. Still lost my job when the company I loved reorged and decided I actually didn't matter. Messed up my confidence and self worth. I wanted to retire from there. Will never do that again. Never let yourself get attached to a company or give up personal time for free. Just do your job.

So true, when you realize that big corporations don’t care about you, and all you are is a number to them while you dedicate your time and your lives to making them more wealthy. It’s honestly sad!

Quit quitting is basically doing the job you are paid to do. Not got above and beyond for free

I'm a developer, once I applied to a company that had a 4 hour test to get a job. Anyway I failed because apparently I didn't finish fast enough. I digged a little deeper and it turns out the company handed the test to 1000 people in order to hire the fastest of them. Think about it, 1000 people took a 4 hour test to compete for ONE job. There is so much to unpack here that a YT comment isn't enough. First of all the company didn't care to waste 999 people's time, 4 hours a piece. 30 applicants seems reasonable to me, maybe 50, maaaybe 100, but 1000? Second, what kind of dystopian movie are we in? Ask a boomer if he ever had to compete directly with a thousand people to get a job, you know because they say all you have to do is dress well and shake hand firmly in order to get a job. Anyway, this the reality now, so yes let's do fight to make a change, companies are insane nowadays. And fk the shark tank guy.

I believe in quiet quitting because even if you go above and beyond, you won't reap the rewards of your actions. Companies for the most part won't give you much more money (and you need to job hop to get true salary bumps] and most people can't get promoted above a certain point unless you meet certain demographic qualifiers.

I'm in Europe so labor laws are quite different but I started quiet quitting before the pandemic. I was tired that my hard work, which was costing me my health, was never rewarded and I was getting negative feedback for things I was doing that weren't even part of my job (but I thought they were since they had been given to me forcefully). I am in a much better place now thanks to my change in attitude. If I have to add one more advice for quiet quitting it would be this: learn to shut up. During meetings of any kind, do not speak unless spoken to and talk as little as you can. Focus on reporting on the essentials of your work and absolutely nothing else. Don't participate in "giving ideas", discussions on what is going wrong with the work or nothing of the kind. Learn to shut up. And do it consistently.

Shoutout to everyone that’s been setting boundaries with jobs before it was a trend ❤❤ loved this video! Love the wavy hair!!!🌸🌸

I’m almost 50 and I love love the new generation’s way of thinking! Work smarter not harder! I love how they find ways to make money fast and live comfort! I always tell my kid not work hard!

The only reward for hard work is MORE WORK. So don’t burn yourself out

The office reference killed me lol. But it’s so true! There’s a fine line between going above and beyond, and setting boundaries at your job

My husband had a coworker who literally died at his desk. He had a cardiac event and they had to call an ambulance. His team wanted to go to his funeral but the company denied it! 😱My husband right then and there quiet quit. He was home for dinner every night and we spend more time together now. He realized the company says they are a family but it’s not true. The company tried to save face by saying that employees have “unlimited PTO”. Again not true. 🙄

Preach! I quiet quit my job and used my pregnancy as the excuse but I and my former colleagues knew very well, while pregnancy is a decent excuse to stop working, that was not the true reason I quit. State job that overworked and greatly underpaid and then asked me to take on extra responsibilities with no additional pay and zero training from day one (I was there for 4 years). Quiet quitting has been the best decision I’ve made!

I agree with you 10000💯 I am quitting my job in a few days I'm tired of being used by a company that makes billions of dollars and every year they give us a 25 cents to 50cents raise it takes 4yrs to get 1 dollar raise that's just them being greedy they net revenue is 185billion.. Enough is Enough

The only thing willingly taking on more work will do is ensure that from then on, when the company is looking for someone to take advantage of, you'll be at the top of the list. You'll also be one of the first ones that get talked to like you've been nothing but a problem

Vincent, thanks for your candor and passion. Hands down the best video I've seen on Quiet Quitting. No one wants to hear multi-millionaires and billionaires hot take on Quiet Quitting. Jobs indoctrinate people into believing their jobs are a core part of their identity and should be considered equally with physical/mental health, child rearing, family and marriages. If workers don't step away from the matrix to seriously consider the trajectory of their finances, that virtually ensures you being a lifetime cog in the soul crushing mind-numbing machinery of capitalism. People have been faithful to their jobs and what did that get them!? The inability to afford a one bedroom apartment in a third of US cities.

I don't understand people ruining their health for a job. Which you would get replaced within a day or 2.

I had a new manager at my corporate job and I tried so hard to go above and beyond to try and get a promotion. I was working extra hours, taking on duties beyond my pay and in the end my manager just kept saying but yeahhh, you could do more and overlooked me for the promotion. I quiet quit after that and accepted a new role and promotion to a different department. I’m so much happier now and work less hard for more pay lol

I heard this saying before but hearing you say it again just reminded me that work isn't everything. "No one on their deathbed, wishes they worked harder." I also want to put it out there that your job does not define who you are as a person. To those who are having trouble finding a job, do not feel depressed, keep at it. Remember you have hobbies, a life to live and a family to love.

This video couldn't have found me at a better time. I was doing so much extra work like an idiot and then when I indirectly quiet quitted. I got let go shortly after because the standard was that I worked more than my job description entailed which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Great video!

the proper term is "working to contract": doing the work you are contractually obligated to do, same as how the company will only provide the pay and rights they are contractually obligated to

From this explanation quite quitting sounds awesome and I agree totally with it. Though, I’ve seen it in a retail environment where people, during an 8 hour shift, barely attend to their work which is annoying. So like with everything in life balance matters and so does context

Vincent: "Older generations walked 8 miles a day, through the snow without shoes." Me screaming: UPHILL BOTH WAYS!!! They always say UPHILL BOTH WAYS!!!

They say you're easily expendable and replaceable but yet companies are struggling to find people which therefor shows you're NOT easily replaceable

I prefer to call it Acting your Wage 😎. But yes- 100%. I am a high performing person and in my career I very quickly realized that I wasn't going to get ANYTHING for going above and beyond my metrics. Since the only reward for working hard is more hard work, there isn't a point to working hard. I kept my metrics within the top third of my team members. I refuse to put in overtime and have worked maybe two 50 hour work weeks total in my career. I've received several promotions, awards, bonuses, and commendations for project work. You don't have to kill yourself to succeed at a career. You do have to set boundaries if you want to have a life worth living though.

I quiet quit when I graduated, and a second time on my first real job when my mentor passed away from an illness 2 weeks before his retirement because he was worried that if he called in sick, his retirement would be delayed.

I hate the phrase "Quiet Quitting" because I feel like it is a spin to make people with boundaries seem lazy and/or entitled. In reality "Quiet Quitting" is doing your job. It also can easily mean doing your job well. I rarely work more than a 40 hour week specifically on work for my job. Whenever I work more than 40 hours, I'm losing money. If you get paid $100K/yr and work 80 hours a week, you're really getting paid half the amount of someone who makes $100K/yr and works 40 hours a week. There might be some cases where it does make sense to work the extra hours. Maybe you work at a place for $75K/yr with a clearly set up 40 hour week (no one works late and no one is expected to work late). Then you take a job for $112K/yr but the norm is that your work 60 hours a week. You're working 1.5 times the hours you were working at the previous job, but you're getting 1.5 times the pay. The flip side is that you keep your 75K/yr job and work 20 hours a week on the side to make that extra money. In both cases you're working the same extra hours for the same extra pay. In one case it's all from a single employer. In the other case, it's from two separate sources, so it spreads your risk out a bit. This also depends on what you like doing with your time and what kind of income vs time you put in you value. In reality, when we accept employment somewhere, we reach an agreement where we determine the hours we work, what is expected of us and so forth. Ultimately, the business cannot expect you to do more than the job that you have agreed to do. If you happen to be able to do it in 20 hours rather than 40, it shouldn't matter. That being said, if you do get good enough to do your work in a shorter amount of time, either see if your employer will pay you based on work rather than salary, or switch to a job that does that, or go into freelancing. Do NOT stick with a job that doesn't value you. For myself (and my journey is different from others), I'm a software engineer, and I completely love the work I do. I love writing code in my free time. I love learning new things. And I'm really interested to see how far I can take my career. I don't work more than 40 hours for my employer, but I do invest time outside of work to build new skills and grow in new ways. For example, to become a tech lead, I study what I want to learn and practice applying those skills during my working hours. My employer either promotes me, or if they don't, and I feel like I've learned enough and practiced being in that role long enough, I start looking for a job with that role and that pay level. In my experience, it has resulted in the biggest pay raises and career growth than staying at a single company. Companies typically like to bank on the fact that people are afraid of change, and so are able to more slowly raise your salary than when they are posting new jobs. For those of you who just tolerate your job because you need it to pay the bills, maybe the better answer is to find something where you can quickly get your work done and have the flexibility to pick up something on the side or to start your own side hustle (like a new website/blog, RU-vid channel, business, etc). Long story short, working the hours that you've agreed to and doing the job that you've been hired to do is doing what is expected. There nothing that resembles "quitting" about it. Just understand that you're doing your job. Even if you don't own a business, your business is yourself. As such, you should be doing everything to maximize your revenues, lower your expenses, and be highly profitable in your work. This means that if you are able to work fewer hours to meet your employers requirements and take the extra time to work on something on the side (either investing in new skills to get a better job, starting a side business, or just picking up a second job to make some extra money), then you are increasing your revenue. This shouldn't result in seeing your employer like an enemy. You both are just in a business relationship with both of you seeking to increase your profitability.

It's not quiet quitting.....it's inflation-adjusted labor output

Greed pure and simple. We are not lazy, we work more hours and still can barely afford a house, let alone a family with 2 children....I work more hours than my dad ever did and still will never have the same assets he was able to obtain.

It is absolutely wonderful. Took me 30 plus yrs to figure it out. No more . Never Too Late

I came from a hardworking culture - started from the bottom (underemployed/overqualified), never took a sick day, got promoted 5 times (that none of the newer hires had to go through as the lower job codes had been eliminated), saw numerous people come and go, then hit the glass/bamboo ceiling. I tried and am proud of my accomplishments, but just gotta refocus on my work-life balance.

I started setting boundaries to my job and it's the first time I got some bad reviews from my boss. He didn't even care about how many I've done the last months for reaching the revenue goal of the company. I feel so sad about it I really felt like he gives a shit about me while I was thinking he was a cool guy and I do a really good job, but just one day that I didn't work until 7-8 pm then I got a complain...

Quiet quitting is setting boundaries, and business is realising people are wise to how they've been fucked up the bum for so long

I got canned with no warning back in 2023. I went to try and find a job.... and I had to actually *pick* which job I wanted. I had four job offers in two days. There's no downside to quiet quitting.

I really enjoyed this video and it had a ton of helpful tips but honestly what surprised me the most is how you are very clearly trying to promote one of your own products. I am not the perfect target audience for your product but I have a ton of respect for the way you sprinkled it in here and didn't have any "This is the best way to quiet quit! buy my book" moments. Honestly think its one of the best and non invasive or predatory ways to self promote that I have seen on youtube. kudos

Boss: can you work Saturday Me: Oh sorry I have an appointment every Saturday now until eternity 😂

5 years ago i started at a company that required a lot of travel in your personal vehicle and werent paid for gas or time driving. I thought i was just "paying my dues" but 5 years later i feep like i made a mistake and paid too many dues lol

i love this. setting healthy boundaries ❤️

I think lots of millennials are trying to do this. I’ve been trying for a few years but can’t get my side hustles high enough to feel comfortable to quit.

While I agree with this mindset, going above and beyond in my career has paid off. In May of 2022, I started a new job as a cashier. I worked every shift with an increased level of productivity than I had ever before at other jobs. By the end of June I was promoted to a Supervisor, in early September to Assistant Manager, and in late September to Manager of the store. My work ethic really impressed the owners of the store, and they, thankfully, saw my worth.

this video was top tier man! Awesome editing haha

In most situations, doing more than is asked of you will go unnoticed and unappreciated. I took my job VERY seriously, and realized it was negatively affecting my mental health and my marriage. Meanwhile, my boss takes multiple vacations a year. I made a point to stop making myself available all the time to work during my off time, and guess what? Nothing bad happened. Maybe long term, it’s not the best for career advancement, but I have no real interest in being in a position of high responsibility. I applaud people for prioritizing themselves and their families, instead of the bottom line for companies that look at them as a number.

The thing is, you usually have to get to a high point of expertise, capital for other sidehustle/projects, and proven output BEFORE you can be efficient enough to complete tasks quickly and be able to set boundaries. You can't step into the workforce and "quiet quit" immediately. Spend a reasonable time/effort learning things above you so you can leverage that for later and be able to do the scaling back steps at the end while still being a high value employee.

I worked for effort and no money for 15 years with my jobs with fortune 500 companies trying to become a manager. I quiet quit, and suddenly kaboom, I'll be a manager within a month, having boundaries, dropping the hammer when I need too doing a great job and actually completing projects. Companies CANNOT AFFORD TO PROMOTE YOU if you do the work of 5 people

Quiet quitting is not possible in Germany. You get paid for overtime or if you collect enough hours you get a day off. Quiet Quitting means ‚Normal Work Hours‘ in Germany.

Quiet quitting is a terrible term for setting healthy boundaries.

We have accepted the notion that was taught to us in school. If you work harder and commit to keep doing better and better, that we would be rewarded proportionally. However, in the real world this doesn't always work, especially when you are an employee.

One thing this doesn’t address, but is worth thinking about: Does the current grind pave the way for a highly paid job with great hours in the future? I broke my a$$ working in my 20s. In my 30s I had a very well paid position with flexible hours. Usually you have to grind to get to where you want to be. Even with RU-vid. You start with one subscriber and make no money for a while, right?

Quiet quitting is a stupid concept, lets call this what it is, its refusing to be a slave to an employer, plain and simple.

I no longer care about going above and beyond since no company would do the same for me.

Corporate koolaide is so real. I just quite quit my job and have my own businesses and scheduling. Love your video it’s really validating sense I just started.

I remembered almost a decade ago when I was first getting into the workforce one of my peers taught me all about the word "no" and it blew my mind how much stuff he could get out of just by saying "no" to his boss. He obviously built up a solid reputation and was extremely reliable. Because of that he was offered a lot of liberties nobody else had. I took note and made myself extremely reliable and the "hardest worker" when really I just do my actual job and clutch out sticky situations. If I'm asked to do anything extra I can say "no" and nobody will bat an eye.

0:11 bingo lol

Quiet Quiting is not the right term... It's called "Working the Line".... Using the word "Quiting" puts blame on the workers, and makes folks seem lazy

What I’ve done instead of quite quitting was making myself take time off and demanding it instead of asking for it. Like I worked 6months and did x,y,z extra I need a break. If they have a problem with it I simply tell them that I am owed the respect that I give them by being a team player and doing x,y,z. Doing those extra things took time away. I now need some time to recover so that way I can come back and still be as efficient at my job and still do x,y,z extra when needed. Sometimes it’s a compromise but never to much of a fight.

The concept of "quiet quitting" doesn't even apply to most people, because most people don't do "extra" to begin with. But since most people's egos lead them to believe they're actually a good worker (when they actually aren't), they may be in for a surprise when they are rightfully fired for reducing their effort. Tread carefully everyone!

Quiet quitting isn't new, it has never been and it will never be. We used to call this coasting, drifting, and disengaging...

I’m a quiet quitter since elementary school 😂 I now have a msc in engineering, I’m working 35 hrs a week and I have 20 rents saved up in case I need money. Right after work I jump on my bike and try to drive as far as I can or I go to the gym. In winter I would read a book or just chill. I’m not messing up my brain chemistry for my boss

Once they promoted a girl to a position that I had applied for, even though she wasn't even born when I graduated University, I knew there was nothing I could do to get ahead. No more unpaid overtime. No more volunteering for committees. If I was assigned to a committee I didn't contribute. No more training or mentoring. No more attending after hour events. Then even though I was still outperforming 90% of the other employees, I was given an early retirement package (which was my goal anyway).

I work in the animation industry, not in the big fancy studios by the way, in the overworked and underpaid outsource studios. Quiet quitting is the way of life here... And it's not the newbies who do it, it's the seniors. Work starts at 9? Okay I'll wake up at 9. The deadline is tomorrow? Okay, it'll be done in 5 tomorrows.

It's been pretty crazy watching the college-educated middle class all discover "working a normal amount", which caused the pet monkeys at Forbes and WSJ to rebrand that to "quiet quitting", as if it was this dramatic new sea change. I turns out that being salaried is kind of a bad idea, allowing bosses to get real spoiled about asking for 70 hours of work for a 40-hour check, and when people stop letting wage theft happen by going home at 4pm sharp, we all have to hear about it for years on end. Only the office people are having this conversation.

I didn't know what quiet quitting was until today. Turns out, that's what I did for the last 2 years at my old position. I used to regularly take my work home with me. I was on salary, no extra pay, no bonus, no benefits, just me losing time in my life because I was loyal. Then my mom died. On her death bed, she asked me to focus on my mental and physical health, so that's what I did. Finally, I quit that old job. Now I only work 4 days a week, and I never have to take work home with me.

Quiet quitting is only possible when leadership doesn't care. All of the companies I've worked for were aggressive at firing anyone that was less than stellar. The bar was very high and there were no exceptions. Pay was average. You would think they would run out of people but nope. Someone is always desperate enough.

Your channel and lifestyle is what I'm striving towards ... keep up the good work man

One thing to be careful about with Quiet Quitting is the burnout of tolerating a job you deemed quiet quit worthy to continue paying bills - it does indeed work for awhile but not forever - always be cautious of the reality of how we kinda really do have to find a better job we "grow" at as well. No direction, no meaning, no passion - depression will be lurking and it's just being real about it. A job is necessary therefore should be optimized with these psychological survival needs beyond just material gain. "But it's just money" is fun to humor but it's never just money when it comes to life and a legacy

Companies aren't loyal to their employees. I've worked in 5 different industries, under different types of management, from large corporation to a small family run company. The only job I had that made feel appreciated was when I was an apprentice small family run riding school, but even then it was because I was cheap labour. The sense of community was there though, and the family running the company actually treated me like a person. Its a shame small businesses like that struggle because they're some of the nicest places to work.

I poured my life and soul to my work for years. I automated all the basic tasks of not only my initial team of 12 ppl, but in the end the basic tasks of 4 other similar sized teams also. In the end, 1/4 of employees of these teams got fired. And what was my compensation? No, I didn't get the salaries of 15 ppl on top of my own. I got a pay incrase of fucking 3000€/year, a lot of stress, a lot of extra work and responsibility. And a lot of shit from my (ex-)co-workers. I was on the verge of serious burnout. Then I learned it wasn't just me or that particular company. That this shit is happening all over. I quit. I found a new job. Nowadays I work only the bare minimum to get my salary. I have energy to do stuff on my free time. I get by nicely with my coworkers. My pay is a bit less, but life is all around better.

I feel you bro

I've been at my job for 11 months and I actually just got a 10% raise just because I asked. The other guy who's been there for months longer than me doesn't have the drive that I do and didn't ask for a review which leads to a raise so I was the only one that got one too. The squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say. Im also exploring other money making options outside of work. I tried Uber but it was kind of ass.

companies keep asking for more and giving less. my company wants us in the office at minimum 4x a week, pays no 401k match, and gives no bonuses. they do give us equity as it's a startup, but that won't mean anything unless our valuation is high at exit.

If you have a skill or asset to leverage certainly you should go after it. Be certain you have some direction you want to go in before start moving. The two extrema are bad, don't burn your self out or be a wash out.

literally did this today. We had a focus group an hour before my shift. I already had time off scheduled later today so I wouldn't get overtime. So instead I worked out and clocked in at my normal time. They need us to work more than we need them to manage us.

So much about quiet quitting depends on your workplace and your goals. Ive worked at some pretty epically horrible jobs before... and I'm not so sure if I "quiet quit" or just burned out and didn't care anymore. Office Space was quite the inspiring movie back then lol. Especially when I worked in retail; I mean, when I was on the clock, I was on the clock. Running cashier at a busy retail chain during those 3-8pm times are just non-stop! But 8PM would roll around... and I'm not paid to count my drawer, or stay late, etc. I had school work to do, and important stuff like anime to watch! Of the 3 years I worked there I got 5 wage increases because the state kept bumping up the minimum wage, and got 1 stellar review... with no wage increase because we had all just had minimum wage rise so much. Compare that to my current job where I get regular reviews, regular wages, regular bonuses (even without being in a sales position), free food, and all of the coffee I can drink... And on top of that, when I had a health emergency in the family that lasted the better part of a year, they were like 'hey, anything you need, let us know and we will help where we can', and I did my best not to abuse that... but when I asked, they delivered. So yeah. That inspires a bit of loyalty in your employees, and when things come up after hours I'm not exactly jumping for joy at the opportunity to pitch in... but at the same time I'm happy to do it. After hours projects (like right now watching progress bars)... no problem! Happy to pitch in. Happy to do whatever needs to be done! And when I need to step away out of necessity or pleasure, Ive never gotten any push-back. And that is how it is supposed to work isn't it? I work hard to support the company. The company works hard to make money. The big dogs on top absolutely take the larger share of the cut... but they spread quite a bit of that around in recognition that they would not be as effective in their roles if those of us supporting them were failing at our roles. It is hard work, and a lot of work, and my life outside of work often feels like enough to deal with on its own... I guess my point is, find a place that appreciates what you bring to the table, and when you are appreciated, show that appreciation back. And when you work for a tight-fisted money hoarder trying to operate a small business, or corporate America trying to make a buck out of the suffering of your soul... yeah... draw clear boundaries. Especially if you are trained and efficient at your job, you would be amazed how daunted employers are at the prospect of losing something who works an effective 6-8 hours a day, vs someone who shows up for 8 hours and gets nothing done no matter how much effort they give.

I quiet quit my job months ago. Higher ups got the jump on me so they thought, I said ok I'm just not gonna do shit. Nowadays I just put in my 40hrs a week and go home. I told them don't ask me for shit else this is all you're getting. Best decision of my life, zero stress when you dgaf.

Quiet quitting is the best idea ever, unless you’re the owners

I just started my first corporate style job(8 months ago) after working on farms and in trades for the past few years. I've gone above and beyond to show how hard I can work but I'm getting nothing in return. I needed this more then I could of thought

Keep spreading the truth!

I quite quit long before it was a thing. At around 30 years old, I realized I was being taken advantage of and working for free, when the people that benefited from my hard work would NEVER work for free. When I work for you, it's a business arrangement. You pay me for this work with these conditions, you change those conditions, then you pay for it. You think a plumber comes over and gives you a quote to fix your sink, and half way through you ask him to also check your water heater and fix a leak for free? LOL! No one works for free - stop doing it.

I worked as a baker for 3 months and literaly got bullied by my "peers". It caused me so much Psychological stress that i fell into a spiral of depression again and i just couldnt go there anymore. Horrible experience

I honestly really really enjoyed your videos.

Just because this guy says it was the best thing for him, be clear that most of the time quiet quitting gets you quiet fired and out of a job.

I'm a software Engineer my self and I hate taking orders and being slave to the company and that weird feeling on sunday evenings. Thank you! for making videos on this. Truly Awakening. Subscribed!

Agree with you 100 percent. Jamie Dimond sees another opportunity to "schtup" (screw) the Yellow Coolie Labor. Subscribed.

‘Gossipy Giselle’ hahahaha. That’s a good one. 😂

I worked my ass off to save the company millions. They had archaic hardware that needed migration due to end of lease. I finished record time and was given $2500 bonus. No promotion. No raise. Best day was walking out and giving the middle finger. Of course, management smears you as being difficult. All they had to do was pay more.

Kevin O'Leary talking about the "greed of money" is really rich. So to speak.

Kevin is hilarious. He, as a business owner, says you should ''work more''. If he was the employee, in this case, he wouldn't even be about making that short. I do agree with the points here BUT this is not quitting. This is taking your real ''rights'' back. If you were a freelancer, doing more work would mean more money. It's the same for any job you work for. So, it's only right to work for what you're paid for. I personally am a victim of this myself. I would always go to work and say ''I'll be there for more than I should, do more work, or don't take any breaks so I can finish my job faster''. My boss thanked me everytime. Too bad congratulations do not pay for bills. My advice to people stuck in such a job is to either tone it down OR learn/practice a skill and work as a freelancer. Sure it's more tedious, but you'll get paid according to the job you do. Sometimes even more.

Before I sign my contract i write my resignation letter, i have my resignation letter on the shelf next to the bedroom door to remind myself of my lack of commitment to my job.

My main focus right now is to separate myself from my 9-5 job. I started my RU-vid channel back in March and have been trying to devote as much time to it as I can to allow myself to eventually quit my job and focus on content creation full time. It’s going to take time, but I’m really encouraged by the community we have built so far. This was a really refreshing take on quiet quitting, and I think a lot of people will benefit from this video. Thanks for sharing Vincent!

I really enjoyed this video.

Doing it too, I come in late, leaving early and barely get anything done.. This is been going on for a few months and I was recently told I'm doing great. LoL

I did all of these BUT tell someone. I told a few people, and i'm assuming someone talked. Which is understandable to a sense. However, i believe if you do those steps Vincent listed at the end of the video, you will be all good. Nonetheless, i don't regret leaving my job. As i stroll pass from time to time, it seems they're truthfully struggling more without me than with me since I was one of those who did quite literally everything and everyone's job from time to time.

4 mins in, you forgot, walking on 1 foot while the other foot was starting a business

Hi Vincent, thank you so much for your inspiration! I felt the same as you did! I hate corporate and I’m looking to start own thing!
