With all the mass layoffs in most of the major banks, is anybody still brave enough to continue quiet quitting? Or have most of the people reverted to staying extra hours and giving as much as possible to make sure they stand out and are not cut in the next inevitable round?

quiet quitting is for losers
Actually, I’ve been quite loud about my quiet quitting. Just passing the time away with numerous trouble tickets. Get it? That’s my paper trail that I’m actually doing something.
Agreed. I applied for a specific job on specific terms. Even agreed on the terms of employment at will. Currently, I’m not even doing the job I applied for as I got moved around. I was hired to make coffee, now they have me dusting the desks. So, I said to leadership, how do you want your desk, regular or decaffeinated?
All joking aside, I turned down lots of good job offers only to find out this company decided to stick it to me, even after all the free vacations, and token awards over the years.
So, the new person hired to make coffee is currently on PTO? Too bad. I now dusk desks. Oh! You want me to dust desks and make coffee part time? Then, double my salary, thank you very much. Don’t forget to provide retraining, as I haven’t made coffee in a very long time. Pathetic stooges.
Either lay me off and give me my big fat, juicy severance, or put up and shut up, so I can continue collecting my biweekly paychecks.
It’s really amazing that leadership thinks they’re smarter than we are. Who do they think it actually does the work for this company? We know the company better than they do. Lol
Immediately quiet quit once RTO was mandated. Was hired as remote. WF broke the employment agreement. Of course I’ve disengaged.
Of course. I have been quiet quitting ever since I found out, I was being quietly fired. You start to realize after being traded from one supervisor to the next, that you realize you’re very quietly being fired. I only do the work that I’m asked to do. I’m on cog in this big engine. I can only do my work if others do their work. Since the others that I work with do not have the resources, I just sit on my hands. That being said, I’m not going to bail until they give me a nice big fat, juicy golden severance. In the meantime, I’ll be living large with the free money I get every couple weeks.
Stop with this term. You should know your job duties and stick to them, don’t go out of your way at wf because they don’t give you any recognition besides a stupid e card that says thanks. The annual merit increases should indicate how much extra effort you should put into your job there. Look after yourself, your family, friends, your life, and THEN wf.
Not quiet quitting, but after a few reorgs this year and dufus leader work is sparse.
Or people who have some flexibility in their work schedules, a manageable workload, and haven't found anything worth taking a chance and leaving. For me personally, I have applied for other jobs, and haven't been contacted. I've been a top performer, and Wells for the most part doesn't reward that. Wells also has job positions that don't align well with other roles outside of the company, so finding a new job hasn't happened for me yet. I also flip-flop between wanting to leave, and being reluctant to move into the unknown. Not a lot is expected of me where I am currently, and I like the people I work with.
I am not quiet quitting, but I am not going out of my way to do extra work either. I have learned over the years that doing extra work at Wells Fargo is not rewarded with larger raises or promotions. For my own sanity, I now do exactly what is expected of me and nothing more.
Been quiet quitting since I was first given a BS answer for why I couldn't be given more money or promoted despite being the highest performer on my team. I was denied multiple years in a row. That was over a decade ago.
Current management has just added to my resolve.
I don’t see anyone that is not quiet quitting. Not kidding. Absolute apathy everywhere.
I take an hour long break 2x a day plus another hour for lunch. And a smoke break every hour. Only when in the office.
It's not you they will fire, it's your whole group. You can be a performer on your team, but your whole team will be let go. If they actually managed the non-performers out, performers wouldn't leave. Instead you have a team where the performer gets overloaded with work and others are not assigned work. It is too much trouble on a manager to do a PIP, and even if you do it 100% correct, the employee still doesn't get fired.
It is not really quiet quitting is just that 80 percent of the entire bank has no work.
Still quiet quitting/acting my wage. I seriously roll my eyes at the KoolAid drinkers. Those of us who are left stayed to get laid off and collect our severance. Why would we go above and beyond? That’s like reverse austerity asking us to be charitable with our labors to a corporation that refuses to compensate us appropriately while making record profits. Sticking around because I’m owed. If they want more they can pay more. To expect more for the same or less is akin to wage theft and exploitation.
Is anybody NOT.....?
Think about this. Anyone who CAN get another job already HAS. Those people are LONG GONE.
Who is left.....? People like you and I, who are one of two things: we're either low-performing dirt bags; or we're in the final stages of our careers and are waiting for retirement.
