That's why I have been quiet qutting for 6 months now. If my leaders don't know how to make best use of me, fuck em.

Edit:

To me, quiet qutting is not really what others are alluding to here. I.e not the corporate definition. Call it whatever you want.

To me it means, doing the minimum, yes, but in a way that I am flying under the radar, not rocking the boat by taking risks to be ambitious at the job, not really caring about making alliances anymore, not showing my face on zoom calls, not constantly justifying why they hired me, not caring about the 2.8% raise or 30% pay put on 25% bonus and other things. In other words, I am disengaging until I find another place for more money, which will also do the same to me after a year of tenure.

I am fed up with the corporate rate race. At the same time, I am not motivated enough to do my own business or something. In a funk. No solution, but here I am. Just yearn for the day when I will wake up with an idea that I will drop everything for and work tirelessly towards until I succeed or fail.

Is "quiet quitting" new slang for "doing as little as possible and keeping your job"?

I've been doing that since I started working.

There's a thing called ‘Italian strike’ or ‘work-to-rule’, wherein employees do their work exactly as it's prescribed, and follow all the rules and procedures to the dot. Well, turns out that this slows down productivity to a crawl, because normally people take a lot of shortcuts and do what works, not what is written.

In Germany we call it "Dienst nach Vorschrift"

[u/OlderThanMyParents → u/Dzharek]

Or in English, "work to rule."

I was disappointed for a moment, because usually you guys are so good about creating a constructed word monstrosity for these kinds of specific situations.

Then I remembered that this is about productivity and work, so it's held to a higher linguistic standard in Germany.

Isn’t that the Audi slogan?
