My job didn’t allow me to quiet quit. The workload kept mounting and many more folks kept leaving so they overload the next remaining person.

I consider myself a hard worker. I'm not 24/7, or keep constant alert for calls or texts, unless on call. I have stayed employed because I produce, but have always maintained boundaries.

Excellent explanation,

I paid off my mortgage and all my consumer debt. Been with the company 19 years, Im just going to milk it.

If you were offered a 20% raise to switch companies tomorrow, would loyalty still matter?

Yeah, I don't call that "quiet quitting." I just call that "doing your job." Your employer has no reasonable expectation that you will go above and beyond or answer e-mails at 10 pm.

Funny how more and more videos like this seem to manifest. Almost as if the majority of managers are... ineffective at best. But its worse. The ineffective mangers that actually possesses the ego to guess what the answer is when the expert decides not to answer. This is why so many effective employees go into business for themselves. Long term impact. More vendors that the giant corporations hire to do the actual work. 90 percent of management getting fired is the best thing that could ever happen

What you say about watching your parents is real. I watched my father do it, so I am loyal to myself and my household. This is why I'm looking to move.
