Maggie Perkins, 30, engaged in "quiet quitting" while working as a teacher beginning in 2018. She actually quit in 2020 because "the conditions were not sustainable to have a quality of life." Now, she's trying to help others avoid burnout while staying engaged and collecting a paycheck. Loading Something is loading. Thanks for signing up!

Maggie Perkins loved being a teacher."I want to be a teacher every day of my life, for the rest of my life," the 30-year-old told Insider. "It's what I enjoy most."But her passion didn't stop the burnout that came from working 60-hour weeks on a salary that stayed under $50,000 for five years. In 2018, she decided she needed a change and began engaging in what's recently become known as "quiet quitting."The term, which gained traction after Insider published a story on "coasting culture" in March 2022, describes the not-so-new idea of establishing work-life boundaries while still collecting a paycheck. Its growing popularity on TikTok shows how millennial and Gen Z workers are pushing back on the expectation that they should go above and beyond what they are paid to do. But the idea is older than these young generations and echoes the "work to rule" tactic that unions have used, in which workers do what they are contractually obligated to and nothing more. Through the "Great Resignation," many workers have wielded the power to quit their jobs and pursue more attractive opportunities to get higher pay and more flexibility. Now, however, the quiet-quitting trend suggests workers are trying to find ways to make their current jobs work for them. Perkins quit in 2020 and said she doesn't have any plans to return. She's pursuing her in Educational Theory and Practice and focusing her research on teacher attrition — specifically, why teachers with significant qualifications and experience ultimately choose to leave the profession. Start slow and prioritize what must get done to keep your jobAs a teacher in private and public schools in Georgia and Florida, Perkins said she spent "hundreds if not thousands" of her own dollars a year on classroom supplies, dealt with harassment from parents, and developed "horrible" migraines. "It's like a frog in boiling water," she said. "It eventually becomes unsustainable. And either you burn out, or you have to make a choice." Perkins advises would-be quiet quitters to "scale back slowly" and "quietly" — not drawing too much attention to the change."It can't be overnight," she said. "If you've been the teacher who carries home a ton of work and stays late, it will be incredibly noticeable if you just do this suddenly," adding that one needs to do it in a way that's "sustainable and not going to get you fired."In 2018, Perkins began leaving school after working her exact number of contracted hours to pick up her daughter from daycare. This laid the groundwork for some work-life balance, but between grading, lesson planning, and meetings, she said she found it almost impossible to get all of her work done during the school day. To cut down on her hours, Perkins began exploring automated-grading systems, not grading everything that was assigned, and having students highlight the portions of their essays that corresponded to a grading rubric. "I think this actually made me a better teacher because I became a lot more efficient and I had to prioritize what's worth it," she said. "And I had to be really judicious with my effort."Quiet quitting doesn't have to mean you're no longer engaged in your jobWhen Perkins first heard the term "quiet quitting" last year, it resonated with her, and she began posting videos on TikTok about her experience. "It was such a simple explanation to something that had been very life-changing for me and healthy for me," she prefers the term "quiet working," however, because many teachers genuinely engage in their jobs and don't want to quit. "You don't even have to just give up, but scale back on your commitment, or your presence, or your hustle," she said. "And you're still getting the job done. You're not shorting your company on their productivity. You're doing what you're expected to do."Perkins says the effort looks different for everyone. For her, it meant giving 100 percent of herself between the hours of 800 and 400 but not taking work home. "If I couldn't do it during my contract hours, I wasn't going to do it," she people, however, choose to "just do enough not to get fired.""They don't have aspirations to move up in that company," she said. "They do have aspirations to just clock in, clock out, and then go hiking. And that's good for them." Sometimes, going above and beyond is the path to burnoutPerkins has seen some critics argue that "quiet-quitting teachers" are doing students a disservice. But in her estimation, the expectation that teachers should always "go above and beyond" is the real problem, and that "just doing your job" should be enough. A 2021 Gallup poll found that the share of US workers who were "engaged" in their work fell to 34% in 2021, the first decline in over a decade. Many teachers, whom society has long characterized as overworked and underpaid — and are being fervently sought out by schools across the country looking to fill openings — have found themselves drawn to the quiet-quitting movement, said believes the term "teacher shortage" is a misnomer It's a "teacher exodus.""Not because they became less passionate or became uncertified," she said. "But because it was time for them to not work under those conditions." Though Perkins' future career path is unclear, her quality of life is better since she left the classroom "I haven't had a single migraine since."If you have a story to tell about "quiet quitting" reach out to this reporter at jzinkula article was originally published in August 2022.

And these past couple of months, I've been seeing a common theme People who wish they hadn't quit their jobs so question I recently received from a mentee sums it up nicely "I left my job for a higher-paying position at another company. Now I'm miserable and regret it. Do I ask for my old job back?"What to do when you regret quitting your jobAlthough it may not feel like it, experiencing regret is a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and what you want from your there's nothing wrong with a boomerang move back to your old employer, its important to remember that whatever reasons or behaviors that made you leave might not change. It could be that you want to go back because that's the most familiar are five key questions to consider before asking for your old job back1. Did you burn any bridges when you left?Think critically about how you behaved in your last days at the company. Why did you say you were leaving? How did people respond?If you vented your frustrations and acted negatively on your way out, there's no going back. Without strong relationships in tact, it may be harder to comfortably settle back into the if the circumstances are unpleasant, I always encourage people not to burn bridges. Being graceful gives you the option to return to an old job. Plus, there's no telling where your coworkers will end up. You might need them as a reference in the Why did you quit?There's a reason you left. Maybe you didn't get along with your team. If that's the case, will anything change once you return? Make sure you aren't setting yourself up for the same the other hand, your decision to leave could have been related to salary. Too often, people quit for a higher-paying job without considering what non-monetary perks they might be giving money is important. But research shows that it is only marginally related to job satisfaction. Meaningful work, strong relationships, and the opportunity to grow can be much more Were you expanding your skill set?If you weren't learning and growing in your old job, then why go back?The best reason for taking on a new opportunity is so that you can expand your knowledge and learn new skills. This should help you, hopefully, land a higher title and increase your salary. You don't want to come back into a role that feels the exact same as when you left, especially if you felt boxed Did you like your boss?This is more than an issue about personalities. Your boss has more influence than anyone on how much you grow; they decide whether to give you stretch assignments or additional responsibilities that build skills and my career, I can think of four jobs I took because I wanted to work for — and learn from — a particular boss. There's nothing like working for someone who champions you, invests in your success, and gives you ample room to Does going back feel like a bad idea?Let's say your position has already been filled. Or you did burn a lot of bridges. Or you weren't growing. Or your boss was toxic. Whatever you do, don't quit your current job and rely on getting your old one a Plan B and stick to to do if going back to your old job isn't an optionIt used to be that people approached their career paths as ladders, moving slowly and steadily upwards with their eyes on where they want to be in 10 however, career paths that are more like winding labyrinths with the job seeker's focus often just two to three years out.

Roughly one million women in the US have left the workforce since the start of the pandemic. While the reasons for leaving can be varied and complex, key factors for many women are often insufficient pay and caregiving responsibilities. Insider spoke with three working moms who left their jobs to learn why — and how they made the decision to following stories are based on conversations with the sources. Their statements have been edited for length and Jones, 28, was a makeup artist in New York, NY, before she left her job in October 2016 Imani Jones. Courtesy Maegen Christie I was just breaking into the beauty industry as a makeup artist when I became a mother to my son, Jude, in May 2016. I was completely enamored by my baby, but was also itching to get back to work. My leave of absence initially was supposed to last for only six weeks, and I returned for a few shifts after he was born. But then Jude's dad and I broke up, and I had no one I could consistently rely on to watch the baby. Then when my son was 22 months old, he was diagnosed with autism. I didn't feel comfortable leaving him in someone else's care, and so I relied solely on public assistance and social security from Jude's disability, as well as financial help from loved ones, so that I could stay at home. I stopped picking up shifts entirely by October days I do grieve my past self before motherhood. I think of what I could have become professionally if only I'd had the right resources and financial the same time, I know that at least for now, my son needs my complete attention. I enjoy spending time with him, and I feel fulfilled by working on my blog,"The Hippy Mom," an unpaid, passion project where I pass along all I've learned about autism and the special education system to help other families with children with special Brooks, 43, was a college administrator in Lakewood, Ohio, before she left her job in August 2021 Pita Brooks. Courtesy Pita Brooks A week after her birth in February 2021, my daughter JJ started losing function of one of her legs and developing jaundice, which tipped us off that something was wrong. A couple of hospital stays later, doctors confirmed that she had neuroblastoma, a type of cancer. She underwent spinal surgery at 10 days old followed by chemotherapy for two months, which quickly exhausted my maternity leave. JJ is immunocompromised and requires catheterization every four hours, so I reached out to HR to ask if I could continue working remotely, as we'd been doing throughout the pandemic. HR told me accommodations could only be made if the employee was disabled, not their child. They wanted me back in the office, so I had no choice but to quit in August 2021. Thankfully, my husband works full-time with insurance benefits, but it's still been difficult without two incomes. We have a 17-year-old about to go to college and constant medical bills. I'm also sad that I lost my free tuition as a college employee as I'd been working toward a master's I return to work, it'll have to be remote and flexible, and I want my job to be interesting, even if it means making less money.

Courtesy Alexandra Khoobani I quit my job as a licensed clinical social worker in October 2017 after having my child. I told my boss I was leaving because childcare would have cost me easily more than 50% of my take-home salary, and that the commute — one hour each way — was just too long. Working remotely was never an option in my line of work. This was all true, but the more complicated reason for my leaving was that I wanted to embrace my role as mother. Working for 14 hours some days and responding to other families in crisis at all hours didn't feel right knowing that my own baby was at home, crying for her mom. After I quit, we lived off my husband's salary and relied on his health insurance. We also moved back in with my parents for some time to save money. It wasn't ideal, but it was worth appreciate the intellectual stimulation that comes from working outside the home, but not if it's at the expense of my mental health and being present for my family. I hope I'll never have to return to full-time work. A woman on TikTok says she decided to quit her job the same day she started because her expectations didn’t match her new employers’. User Lysha lysha_lysha0722 posted a six-second TikTok on Tuesday revealing her new employment status. In the video, she shows her employee badge, saying, “I started a new job today… and I’m quitting.” lysha_lysha0722 Im over it 😂 ♬ original sound – Lysha As of Wednesday, the video went semi-viral with about 16,000 views and viewers asking Lysha for a story time. On Wednesday afternoon, she obliged and posted another video explaining her resignation. In the update, Lysha explains that she got hired through a staffing company to work for an insurance company. She told the staffing company she wanted to work remotely rather than in an office, but they matched her with a job that’s a hybrid role. The role required that Lysha works at the company’s office two days out of the week and at home for the other three days, she says. lysha_lysha0722 Replying to jwhiz484 why I quit that damn job. iquit quitting imleavin ♬ original sound – Lysha “That’s not exactly what I wanted, but I was like, fuck it, I’m not going to be picky,” Lysha says in her video. She says she decided to take the job, thinking it would take two or three weeks of being in the office before she could work from home. When she started, the company told her she wouldn’t be able to work from home for three months. She says that schedule was “automatically not going to work” for her. The job would have paid her $ which was “eh” but sufficient for Lysha because she lives in Ohio, she says. But the tasks she was required to perform merited higher pay than $ She says she should have been paid “easily” $24 per hour. On her first day, Lysha says she didn’t receive any training whatsoever. She says she was immediately set to work with data entry. Another “red flag” was that the staff had a meeting, and Lysha heard managers saying that since the company was hiring more temps like her, they would be able to give regular staffers more paid time off. “So this means that they literally brought us on for us to do all of this fucking work for them real quick,” Lysha says. “Mind you, the work is hard as fuck.” She says that although she wanted to quit when she posted her first TikTok about the job, she decided to go back to the job the next day. When she arrived at the office, another employee skipped saying “good morning” or “how are you” and instead shouted in surprise, “Wow! You came back?” Five people, including her manager, told Lysha how surprised they were that she came back, she says. By her lunch break, she “was out,” quitting on the spot. In the comments section, viewers supported Lysha for leaving the toxic environment. “And they wonder what’s driving the great resignation,” one viewer wrote. “You gotta go like yesterday lol,” another said.
