I was overworked, underpaid, and miserable at my last job, so I 'quiet quit' my new job. I refuse to be taken advantage of again.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with a 26-year-old account executive based in Minnesota. They've asked to remain anonymous for professional reasons, but Insider has verified their identity and employment with documentation. It's been edited for length and clarity.
My bosses at my old job thought quiet quitting meant laziness, but I've learned to have a better work-life balance, so I log off as soon as 5 o'clock wraps around. My work is remote except when I work weekend-event activations every few months. I work long hours during live events, but I take two days off during the week to compensate for the weekend work.
The company had an overabundance of clients while understaffed, so we were all overworked. I had to take on many responsibilities I wasn't compensated for and worked simultaneously with at least 12 or 13 clients. I was miserable. I put in so much effort, but there weren't clear delineations of growth opportunities. When I asked for a raise, they said,"You don't do enough.
