When I first started hearing about “quiet quitting,” I figured I knew what it was without reading on it. I thought it was basically ghosting your job. It wasn't until yesterday that I learned that it's basically just doing the rock bottom minimum to get by at your job because there's nothing else to do.
Well holy crap. I've been doing that for the past 5 years already I'm at the top of the ladder for what I do, and nobody gives a shit about what I think or do. So I make my production and then play video games on the clock for as many hours during the day as I can swing. Sometimes it's zero. Sometimes it's 5 hours. Usually it's about 1 to 2 hours.
Doing the minimum for fixed pay is a no-brainer. Unless you truly want to pursue the never-ending “career ladder,” there's no point in hustling!
