The Quiet Quitter’s Survival Guide and the Fine Art of Quiet Quitting
The key to ‘quiet quitting’ and keeping your job is to do it the right way. Read on to find out how.
I’m sure you heard the new workplace buzzword — quiet quitting. It’s a term for workers who have decided not to do extra unpaid tasks and only do the work in their job descriptions.
The whole purpose of quiet quitting is to:
- Keep your job
- Stay in good standing
- Reduce workplace stress
- Reduce stress at home
- Have a working life that is fair and balanced
There are many other reasons for quiet quitting, but these are the most common.
Quiet Quitting is not about:
- Taking revenge on your boss
- Undermining the mission of the company
- Sabotaging the projects or the efforts of your co-workers
- Making customers unhappy
If your intention is to “show them” how valuable you are and make them sorry they didn’t pay you more, you’ve got this all wrong. This is not about revenge.
