This is great video editing👌🏽 also is that a fake link to your insta?😂 u got me!
@@ManeThingz thank you! and haha no i changed my insta username but didn't update it in all my old videos yet. my new insta is: instagram.com/vincentchanco/
Yo can you do something about the spam because every time I comment on your videos I literally get a spam message and it's so bad I don't really wanna comment anymore, thinking others are feeling the same maybe, just wanted you to know
@@rigelr5345 I try to delete as many as I can throughout the day :( sorry about that! It’s a shame youtube isn’t doing anything to help with these things
@@VincentChan Ah man that sucks, thought YT could ban the accounts or something but I've heard about how little they do. Hope you get some help one day
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.
What should the company have done differently in your opinion?
@@JB-uu3oj nothing lol
the temp worker really twisted the knife
😥 Sorry for you and all those who felt the loss of this coworker.
@@JB-uu3oj i know i wasnt asked specifically but i had a couple ideas come to mind. Id probably offer any staff that worked with them like a 2 week paid grievance. Id close up storefront if i have one and take a day to recover myself. In an office setting again the 2 week leave is important, and if the position is upwards id decide who best suits as a replacement from inside and hire outside to replace the lower staff positon. There's options available even if you domt feel personally sttached to the employee theres sensitivities considering its a huge loss if you worked with this person and got to know them personally over many years like a lot of these cases
It’s NOT quiet quitting. You’re not “quitting” anything. You’re just not accepting slave labor.
“Anti-slavery workers”
Facts
Ai will replace people. The govt will give u a hand out and u will be happy
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.
Agreed
Don't give the quality of your work either.
Keep it at 70% max. You will burn out quicker and face many health issues because of the effort you've put in
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
It's not toxic to work hard and have pride in that :(
@@ericomfg nobody is saying it is. Believe me, as a social worker, I take pride in helping people in life; however, we shouldn’t be living to work, we should be working to live. There’s a whole life outside of work and it shouldn’t be our life. Boundaries are important for mental health.
@@NiceBowser I just disagree on a fundamental level. I think going above and beyond is an exceptional quality, self evidently lol.. no need to feel taken advantage of and complain. Have gratitude and such.
I live to work because my work is extremely important and helps lots of people. I think that's cool!
Ok go make multiple businesses now
@@tek9834 me?
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 do the same. Some places try to get me to work like it's salary and others will make you leave early to stay under 40 hours.
This. Any work I've ever done that had to be paid for extra hours never wanted me to work those extra hours. I couldn't get more than 40 hours if I begged for it.
@@sakurya972 I am currently working for a place that is currently understaffed so I have been able to bill a good number of hours over 40 so i don't mind working it.
I live in Canada. Everywhere I worked paid me extra for my extra work. It's the LAW here. One phone call to the provincial worker's rights people and it's settled.
I used to get my 15 minute breaks paid in double time in a hospital, if I was too busy to take one, my extra 8 hour shifts were paid double time too. I worked for Bell and it was the same thing. It's all legislated and iron clad...
The ONLY place I didn't get paid extra for crazy hours and exertion was in the Army, but then I volunteered for it...
I work as a chef now, my 4th career because I need change in life, and its the same again. I punch in, punch out, and its all automatic. I get paid literally by the minute. Working holidays comes with extra pay, so do night shifts, etc. Big business can't cheat... And them and the rich pay most of our income tax revenue, not the middle class like me...
When I saw how Elon could fire all of those people because Twitter became private, I realized just how truly awfully the USA protects its workers.
Its like another planet.
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.
We see them at the DMV LOL
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!
It’s not too late, just quiet quit lol
Completely agree. And it’s these big corporations that’ll be hurting the worst if this quitting “trend” continues. Doubt they’ll be so smug when they start losing money because no one wants to work for them.
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.
Good advice. Also: give me that cat.
Exactly!! as a teacher I know I'm easily replaceable, so I went part-time. Keeps me sane for my family.
Correct. Sorry to hear that this was your experience and hope that company hit Chapter 11 now.
Quit quitting is basically doing the job you are paid to do. Not got above and beyond for free
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.
Let's be clear. I have seen jobs INVENTED to move an essentially worthless DEI candidate at low paying companies.
They will either hire someone else (Getting rare now actually.) or heap that work on top of fulltime positions already there.
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.
Facts!
I already am like this because I’m just incapable of over achieving and no one will hire me. I feel like I would just be fired once they realize I’m like this.
Totally agree with this, you don't want to draw any unwanted attention to yourself in any work environment. Unless you want to sip the kool-aid, stay away from that drank!!!
You're in the UK for clarification.
Would that much better place now be in your mom's basement living the Incel life? I am not disrespecting you here but if you are not working that is the most likely outcome. In the end, you are responsible for who you are and where you are. Good luck.
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.
Consider yourself lucky not to have been shackled with that job/company.
~oh, the stress
Ya that's crazy. Would like to hear more of this story. Interview tests like that are just a waste of time.
Google or Apple?
My Grandfather found out he and everyone else was fired at a mill in Fall River Mass because the gate was locked on Monday morning. The Factory abandoned the machinery and relocated to South Carolina(Could have been North)over the weekend. This Shit has been going on forever

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!
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.
Very happy you had such a good boss that taught you this valuable lesson. I learned it my chance at one of the behaviour courses my company paid for and it was mind-blowing. My country's culture has a horrible habit of being incapable of saying no to anything and we work mainly with another country, whose staff is very assertive and confrontational. So you can see the mess this causes for the company and the employees especially.
Saying no is fundamental.
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
Awh we
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
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!
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
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.
Thank you so much for this, spoke right to me. Been contemplating quitting my job for 1 year now and still not decided cos this place is 'safe' and good pay and I feel maybe it's me who cud have done better. But the amount of breakdowns and mental burnout during this 1 whole year is insane. I want back my life and life is always good end of day. :)
Shoutout to everyone that’s been setting boundaries with jobs before it was a trend ❤❤ loved this video! Love the wavy hair!!!🌸🌸
it's not setting boundaries is making you a smaller number and that's bad
@@Money_Fox no, it is setting boundaries
You were hired to do a job and you’re doing it, nothing more
They are taking advantage of you, and trying to lower the number of people needed by piling more work onto fewer workers
Everyone needs to do this for the benefit of everyone, including themselves
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. 🙄
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.
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!
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
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
The idea is to not go above and beyond for free, NOT to stop doing the things you’re already paid for. Sounds like your retail coworkers just suck lol
This mindset will go away as unemployment rates rise to 6% and we enter a recession
This sounds like you missed how “quiet quitting” works.
@@streakingclothed retail itself is a whole ass exploitation shitshow.
Go above and beyond and you will be rewarded with more responsibility, more overtime and 0% salary increase and benefits.
I've done that and NEVER AGAIN. Retail is where modern day slavery is legal
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.
I can relate to that😔
Take the risk it’s worth it.
@@Catsmiththeherblist Two kids in private school and a house payment. More than just myself.
It's tough. I quit my job today and am going full send into the side businesses. Hopefully I don't regret it. Lol

🤣🤣🤣 I was screaming that too.
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!
Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work.
Vincent you just uploaded this video in a right time for me🤣This is so accurate to my current situation so thanks a lot! Btw I like your video editing :)
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.
Wow i think that’s such a great approach. Although it might not work for some companies especially if your boss is toxic but a good approach nevertheless. Thanks for sharing
i love this. setting healthy boundaries ❤️
They say you're easily expendable and replaceable but yet companies are struggling to find people which therefor shows you're NOT easily replaceable
this video was top tier man! Awesome editing haha
your new video editor is awesome! Your demographic focus is on fire.
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
Well put
I really enjoyed
Love it. Instant subscription 🙌
I honestly really really enjoyed your videos.
Keep spreading the truth!
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, CZcams 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.
Your editing style is amazing! It’s really engaging
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.
I wish it worked like that for everyone. I took on more responsibility in my law firm which of course I wasn’t paid extra for and got passed up for a promotion. Then when I had a family emergency and asked for my vacation to settle some affairs, they fired me. 🤷🏼♀️ good riddance!
You are very lucky for that.
In almost all cases that above and beyond will only be rewarded with more responsibilities, extra overtime and 0% salary increase. Especially as a cashier or in any retail type of job
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...
Your channel and lifestyle is what I'm striving towards ... keep up the good work man
This video is so funny and true. Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing this.
loved thissssss
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 feel you bro
WELL SAID!!
great topic and great editing 😂👍🏾
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.
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
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.
Quiet quitting is a stupid concept, lets call this what it is, its refusing to be a slave to an employer, plain and simple.
Only 2 words allowed.
I did not know I was doing this the whole time! 😅 Thank you for the clarification!
This video is so well made it floored me
You make amazing videos! Intuitively Hilarious !
7:50 lmao good one. i said this when I almost quit Target after feeling like I was being overworked and observed and called out for everything I was not doing. The company was and still is majorly short staffed. They expect the four people left to pick up the slack for all the missing workers and be twice as overworked. I asked for hour reductions as my back and feet were hurting all the time. They denied it so I put my two weeks notice in and then a bunch of people began to quit as well but unlike me they were on the spot, walking out, and not returning. Even management was gone. When they asked me to stay I asked for more money and instead they hired new people who quit after a week and got a new manager. they finally came around to reducing my hours. I have never felt so disrespected and overworked at a job and ive worked for some crappy companies.
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.
EXACTLY. I'm 23 years old, and the amount of effort and work I've put into learning new skills and sharpening old ones just to compete with hundreds more people and apply for companies where the HR ladies can't schedule a proper meeting is absurd. Even for that said job I will just live comfortable. I will not afford home, in 5+ years I can MAYBE afford kids 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂. That's the IT sector nowadays
It's not quiet quitting.....it's inflation-adjusted labor output
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.
Preach!
Quiet quitting isn't new, it has never been and it will never be. We used to call this coasting, drifting, and disengaging...
‘Gossipy Giselle’ hahahaha. That’s a good one. 😂
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.
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.
Thanks for your informative video. I've been hearing about "quiet quitting" but have honestly not understood it. Not all these points apply to me, but I appreciate the information. I'm going back into a managerial position with a very large, very rich corporation that I've worked with for the past 7 years. My job thus far has given me a lot of time off which is why I've stuck with this specific company. I'm dreading this new position because I'm not at all passionate about the field. It's merit-based and I'm doing it partly for the money and the ability to be home every night as opposed to traveling. With enough experience, it'll also look excellent on paper should I hopefully decide the time is right to move into a field I'm more passionate about. I'm basically already planning my "out." I don't have any interest in any financially viable side-hustle. I've been writing again for fun and for the public. I've been dreaming about just moving out of the U.S. and becoming a writer. Idealistic, I know, but I feel like it's the only thing keeping me going. I've been the "over-achiever" for 20 years and I'm sick and tired of it.
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!
True, but that wouldn't mean they don't deserve living wages. They're still willingly trading their time for whatever menial labor to provide skills that the owner wouldn't want to or can't provide alone.
There's been a gross devaluation of labor in general, and I don't agree that we can all hustle to have some digital content and live off that. Someone needs to sell that coffee and flip those burgers, but that doesn't mean they should stay on minimum wage if they can't aspire to much more to survive.
It is absolutely wonderful. Took me 30 plus yrs to figure it out. No more . Never Too Late
I haven’t started working yet and I’m planning to do this.
Great video. They want me to leave on time - No OT, even if someone needs me after hours. So, I just leave. It's great. I'm getting to the point where I say, sorry, I have to go, get me tomorrow. I also take the full lunch now, whereas before, I never did, since I was too busy.
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
Hahaha! Amazing video. Great editing.
😂😂 that brief moment from 0:53 to 1:06 speaks to me! Anyone who’s had an “overzealous” manager can relate lol. That should be a short!
Agreed, however i have had tons of health issues over the last 20 years and my company has had my back so I willing do the extra as I kept my job with so many health issues:)
cming right up baby
Hilarious video - loved it
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.
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.
You are just a number when a company identifies you!
Omg who edits your videos. this is a masterpiece-
I don't understand people ruining their health for a job.
Which you would get replaced within a day or 2.
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 CZcams. You start with one subscriber and make no money for a while, right?
Nowadays your only reward for that grind when you're working under a boss is extra work, extra overtime, extra stress and extra health issues. And if you get promoted your salary rarely is going to compensate you adequately.

hell yea do that shit
When you're a high performer, you can quiet quit at the next change of supervisors! It worked for me. 😊
Don't be honest with employers, they're not honest with you.
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
The 'Engineer' LOL!
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
Boss: can you work Saturday
Me: Oh sorry I have an appointment every Saturday now until eternity 😂
Hey that’s a great video. Btw. If you read „work: a deep history“ hunter gatherers had a sub 20 hour work week and a similar life expectancy as in the mid 50s. Not that bad.
Teacher are absolutely in need of doing this…
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

Perfect
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.
My sister makes 130$ in 5 hours after gas
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.
