The transition from ‘overachiever’ to ‘adequate’ is the most peaceful journey I’ve ever taken.

That is just adjusting your hourly rate for inflation

I’m not lazy, I’m just practicing fiscal responsibility by not over-delivering on a budget-friendly salary.

Think of it as a subscription service. They downgraded to the basic plan when they skipped the raise.

If the company is ‘acting like a family,’ then I’m just being the lazy teenage son.

You didn’t gain a promotion you gained time

Had a manager that would say, “I can’t give you guys a raise, but I can send you home an hour early with pay every now and then.” (He literally had no control or influence over compensation.) One of the better managers I’ve ever worked for.

Working too efficiently is problematic for workers. You gotta balance and take the breaks when able. I usually just work hyper efficiently then slack off to balance it out so it looks like I just work normal pace.

Plus reducing useless costs is also helpful. I quit buying food in my lunch break and bring my own from home and thats literally 200€ a month in difference.

We got no 3% raise so I told my boss we are only giving 97% effort every day. He got no raise either so he’s all for it lol.

Fully support doing 100% of the minimum. You still end up as an overachiever. Just today a coworker got called out for not doing any work since last Thursday.

That is the definition of quiet quitting while maintaining your sanity and your hourly rate

The worst part about quiet quitting was realizing that nobody cared.

“`
def calculate_work_effort(old_salary, new_salary, inflation_rate):

Calculates your effort level based on whether your raise beat inflation.
inflation_rate should be a decimal (e.g., 0.05 for 5%).
“””
effort = 100
inflation_adjusted_salary = old_salary * (1 + inflation_rate)
if new_salary < inflation_adjusted_salary:
effort = 100 – (inflation_rate * 100)
