There have been all these new rules and stuff that higher-ups want us to follow. I wanted to speak up but decided to play it safe and not draw attention to myself. But I just made the choice from now on I'm not working a millisecond over my contracted hours. No emails will be answered, and don't even think about calling my cell phone. I won't answer any work-related calls unless the building is on fire. So like this is what I want to do but I see myself fall back into working after hours lol.

Wouldn't hurt to apply elsewhere too - never hurts. Protect yourself whatever happens.

That's not quiet quitting. Quiet quitting is when you stop doing the work but still show up. You're just doing the work you are being paid to do.

No, "quiet quitting" is a term used by corporations to shame people who strictly work within their job description and don't do extra unpaid work.

These. You just said you are no longer doing more than you are paid to do and instead will do what you are paid to do.... And we have decided that is a bad thing now days...

I quietly quit months ago, after I pointed our that after years of getting saddled with extra responsibilities, I'm earning 65% of what my actual role should be. CIO basically told me to fuck off.

So, I figured, they wanna pay 65% market rate, theyre gonna get 65% effort. What are they gonna do, fire me? Im the only admin, developer, and SME for my platform, and they clearly dont want to pay the asking price for a replacement.

And, yknow, Im not a morning person, so Id say the hardest part of my day is waking up and showing up. So about 40% of my usual 100% effort expenditure is getting over that hurdle. So, thatll leave them 25% left over.

Meanwhile, Im now overemployed (in case this whole thing goes belly-up), and check in twice a day to make sure nothing broke. Nice enough gig.
