Employee denied raise after outstanding performance review, so he starts leaving early and quietly cuts his hours by 20% without anyone noticing: 'I gave myself the raise'

• And what did he get, you ask? A fat zero. HR told him he was already in the top salary bracket for his position, as if that was some kind of compliment.

  So he did what many of us only dream about: he started leaving work an hour and a half early every day. For ten months. And not one single person noticed. He basically gave himself a 20% raise in free time. King behavior.

• "My evaluation was excellent and the raise was zero. So I gave myself the raise."

• Quiet quitting isn’t about slacking off. It’s about saying no to the hustle you’re told you should buy into.

  Which brings us to this one guy who hit his $2 million goal at 40, and stopped caring about promotions… only to accidentally earn four of them anyway.
