First off, not working overtime isn’t quiet quitting.
Quiet quitting is the new ‘doing what you were hired to do.’
Second, the title says overtime hours, but this is overtime minutes, and based on the amount it’ll be rounded down and you won’t even get paid for them.

Quiet quitting refers to a phenomenon where employees, particularly in the United States, increasingly prioritize work-life balance over excessive workplace engagement. Instead of going above and beyond their job duties, these employees simply fulfill their basic responsibilities and are often reluctant to work overtime.
I don’t know if there is objective definition on quiet quitting but this one feels off and a little gross to me. You can work your agreed upon hours with no overtime and still do an amazing job. This definition paints folks working full time jobs as slackers because they aren’t doing overtime, which in most cases is going to be free overtime.
Company propaganda. Definitely has all the ick
Plus, how is doing your job ‘quitting’?
Social media terms are always stupid and confusing.
The only time/place I’ve heard “quiet quitting” has been in articles/online. Never from a real person in real life. It’s akin to them trying to make fetch happen.
The people who work for those who call just doing what you’re paid for “quiet quitting” should show them what quiet quitting really is by going to lunch one day and never coming back.
The only time I refer to it in real life is when I go to the bathroom for an extended amount of time in the office AKA “quiet shitting” :P
Yep it has been presented as that by the media but real people talking about it usually mean just half-assing your job like you don’t care about it.
“Not going above and beyond” has worked pretty well for me the majority of my career, I just get the job done well and try to remember to do most of what I’m supposed to.
prioritizing your mental health is a “phenomenon”
._.
Every definition feels gross to me, but I agree this article has a bad slant.
I mean, yeah. It’s a term that was created to make people who aren’t hard working slaves look bad.
3.60 minutes less overtime per week then non-psilocybin users? Is this a typo? It’s hard to believe this is really that statistically significant. I know they try to make the point that it adds up when you start doing the math, but it’s hard to believe 3.60 minutes is anywhere near being significant enough to propose a potential correlation.
Semi-related, how long until we start getting widespread hit pieces on psychedelics? Even if it’s only 3.60 minutes, that’s 3.60 minutes that your boss probably believes that you owe him. I’m wondering if we’re going to start seeing widespread pushback from the media and corporations.
Edit: hell, 3.60 minutes seems so insignificant that it makes me wonder if this was meant to be a (subtle) hit piece.
Nothing subtle about it
Working FEWER overtime hours is now considered quitting? How did we get here?
I had a review recently where I expressed my frustration at excessive work and unreasonable or un-communicated deadlines, and my boss basically took the stance that how was he supposed to know I was overloaded if I wasn’t working a bunch of overtime?
Like, dude, that’s NOT going to happen. I can be overloaded AF but I’m still leaving at 4.
We talked in circles about this for about 30 minutes and I don’t think he understood or simply refused to understand.
Whatever.
“quiet” quitting AKA doing your job description
and being a human being with a life outside work

Mushroom use tied to not getting exploited at the workplace.
There’s a TED talk waiting to happen. Just during regular business hours only, of course.
Yup that’s what I got from it. I’m not into drugs but I guess the machine elves are based.

I realized recently that even using the term “working class” or “labour” (to refer to a group of people) is accepting the way the greedy fucks at the top of this pyramid scheme frame things.

Unfortunately, out of recognizing a name might be bad and thinking of a great new name, I only have the first skill, and even that might be limited to only this instance.
Quite quitting is a corporate paid shill shit attempt to make it a bad thing to put in the same effort to pay.
That’s insane. How the fuck is “I’m going to do what I’m paid to do” a bad thing? Fuck this terminology
I thought quiet quitting was sort of like scrolling through Lemmy and commenting on a quiet quitting post while the office meeting goes on and on and fades into the background until it goes quiet and you realise they have been waiting for your response to a question? You then realise that though Ukrainian drones skipping over Russian drone nets with ease is an interesting topic it’s not actually what they expect you to talk about nor is it what your paid for.

Was expecting Fight Club.
Haha that’s great. Sage advice
Assuming causation here is literally the dumbest take imaginable.
Corporate America will absolutely endorse it.
new excuse for mushroom restriction
Good luck. I can already get it delivered to my door within a couple hours.
These findings carry significant implications, especially in the context of the ongoing discussions about the decriminalization and legalization of psilocybin in various parts of the United States. While it might seem that reduced overtime work could be costly for organizations, it is also possible that employees who have used psilocybin may be more productive during their regular work hours, reducing the need for overtime to complete tasks.
(emphasis mine)
I see it as a very possible takeaway but they barely mention it.
