Get a mouse jiggler then start a zoom pr teams meeting with your personal computer and share the screen.
@ng They've taken "Focus" off the new Outlook! :(
Tick all the boxes, timesheets done on time, training done on time, turn up to team meetings withe the camera off, put "focus" timeslots in your calendar, every opportunity tell people how crazy busy it is at the moment. Loved the PPT tip!
'Quite' quitting you say? is that the British version?
Joking aside, and I say this to help, quiet quitting is just hurting your own brand and burning your network. if you want to leave, figure that out and leave on great terms. If you're set on leaving but not immediately, the better approach is carving off time to work on the items / skills you wish to learn for the next job, what you'll be interviewing for, but still in the confines of your current role so you have something to show for it while there.. and while doing this, save money like crazy so you have a great cushion to fall back on. One risk, you might find that you start enjoying your current job more in that process.. But overall this gives you power, it's a good place to be, better trained, valuable in your current role, but with a strong mindset to do something different, actively interviewing and playing both sides.. that's true self reliance, power, and control. Good luck!
I mean, you just slowly stop doing your job and/or quit doing a good job lol. Create meetings with yourself, show up slightly late to meetings, stop gaf if your work is "good" or up to par with what is needed or requested. Start telling manager you'll be in late, or even easier... if you are supposed to be onsite, just stop going in?
Set meetings with yourself frequently. Set up a many- paged PowerPoint to automatically change pages every few minutes, then share that PowerPoint and let it run. You now have a couple of hours free to mow, take a nap, go shopping, whatever. It looks like you’re in a meeting and presenting on Teams the whole time.
If you're researching how to quiet quit, you're putting in too much effort.
The first big decision you need to make is what status you want to set in MS teams when you have a meeting with yourself and go about your day.
Basically you just keep doing your job but at the level of the lowest performers on your team. In support I have gone from taking 3-5 cases per day to 0-2. The little work I do do I do well and I respond to any messages from my manger promptly. Other than that I spend about 3 hours of my shift watching YouTube and take a 2 hour lunch every day.
Yup. Never seen a company have such a disdain for its employees.
If cheapness was a dr-g Dell is El Chapo.
I was forced into quiet quitting for nearly a year. Very little to do, drove to RR early, got my badge swipe and out by 10:30.
Gym on the way home, teams installed on my phone, email the same. Take the sent via iOS off the email signature so I could reply to the occasional email.
At home, put the laptop on, plugged the mouse in and then used an external mouse juggler to make it look like I was active.
During that time I worked on my development plan, educated myself and updated my CV etc and after 7 months, applied for jobs, eventually getting one.
Dell treated me badly, I hated having nothing to work on, I worked hard to become a senior consultant and they took all my work away from me.
Not a self pity story, but a realization, you need to take your time into your own hands and make it work for you.
Good luck.
