What is "quiet quitting"? Quiet Quitting is defined as performing only the jobs assigned to an employee by the employer and not going above and beyond the job description. It is often confused with quitting the job altogether, but it is not the actual definition. -
At first I was going to say,
"Why didn't I think of that?"
when I was working 10 hour days.
But it goes against the philosophy I always lived by in my working days of
to your employers.
(Follow the above link & you can read all about it.)
To make a long preaching story shorter,
my last place of employment,
I worked there for 20 years.
And I got married, bought a house, raised 7 wonderful kids, went on family vacations, had the latest gadgets, always owned a couple of cars, always had food on the table and clothing for my family.
Typical middle class.
I could babble on why I was important at that job but the best way to explain it would be to say,
During the Great Recession of 2007 threw 2009 I was asked to retire at the the end of the year of 2008. They gave me a severance package and a pension for the rest of my life. Only one other guy from our department got the same benefits as me. The rest of the department was laid off.
I've been retired,
not tired,
ever since.
They say "Quiet Quitting" is about personal mental health.
But my health would have been dramatically worse,
if I had the chance to provide for my family & I didn't give it my all.
This is,
Saying It Might Not Be For Everybody
But It Was Right For Me
