I quiet quit! I have 3 years left to retirement. I never speak up in our large meetings, I don't volunteer for committees or anything extra. I didn't go to the company party this year or last. I do my job but cut corners where I can. I am going to start taking more leave but do it strategically where I miss full day trainings.

Yep. I withdrew a bit after experiencing some burnout, then realized I was just hurting myself and went through a bit of a personal renaissance… which I leveraged into a new job. Start positioning yourself for the next thing, then quit, loudly. Feels great.

I am not sure if it qualifies as quiet quitting, but I am planning on scaling back a lot. In my industry, long hours are expected, so I assume it will eventually get noticed...

I’ve been doing it since 2017 when I got F’d over by my boss.

Yes. I'm actually somewhere between quiet quitting and loud quitting. I am an independent contractor and I work at two places; one place I'll stay (they are great), and the second place I will take only the higher paying gigs from now on (there are two types of projects there, and one pays twice as much as the other, but there is a lot more work available with the lower paying one). So I'll still be there, but I'm not going to do anywhere near as much.
