    I'd hang out for another year to see if things change...said no one ever. Suffering is a choice. I think you know the answer to your own question already.

    So look for a new job?

    A year is too long. I knew someone that quit a job after 5 months!

    Look for a new job if you are at that point. Do not cut ties until you have a job offer -> in writing.

    I work for a state agency and only in this position for two months. Would it look bad if I applied for an internal position in the same agency?

    Is there a policy for that?

    If you are intentionally quiet quitting then I would hope you are already looking. If you are just feeling disconnected to your job and you aren't looking elsewhere, explore why you are checking out. Isi t you? Is the job? Is there something you can job about the job to make it more palatable?

    I think some of it I get bored pretty quickly.

    Absolutely. I'd like to think that I understand my value as an Individual Contributor to any organization. I look at the work I contribute as part of my relationship with my employer. If it becomes toxic, or I don't feel they value my contributions, it's time to move on. I wouldn't stay in a marriage for the health insurance... I won't stay in a job for it either...

    I think some of it is I have very little to do. I am on the low end of the totem pole. I am in my 40s and kind of "over it".

    Yes. And obviously many of us are.

    Why else would someone quiet quit?

    Right? You don’t have to stay anywhere you don’t want to….if you want to look for a new job, I guess you’re ’silently quitting’. My union rep told me I should let my boss know, why?

    wait, what? Does it mean something else that's not obvious?

    As I have told many candidates, the day you begin to search for a new job is the day you decided to leave. If you are quietly seeking work, without sharing that with your employer, go seek a better place. Then you can be vocal when you give your notice. In fact, most workers I am hearing are quiet quitters. This is a new term, but it's not a new thought. Everyone seeking is quietly quitting in some respects or have checked out of their current role for various reasons or loves their job but hates their company or org. You'll be okay, get out there and find a great position that serves your needs better. Good luck!

    I just did this. I am a teacher so it took a few months due to BOE meetings/contracts but I got there. I start the new job on Tuesday.

    Yes.

    Unless you are happy “quiet quitting” and your employer is satisfied with your marginal performance.

    Yes

    I am!

    Not necessarily. It just may mean that you’ve done about all you can do within your current role. Perhaps a switch over to another role in a different department with all new opportunities for growth would be all that’s needed to revive the spark within.

    It depends...are you bored, no challenged, is it a poor culture? Think about why you are doing this and if it is solvable then perhaps you are just in a funk? If it is not then think about what you could do to shift your thinking and if nothing can change then yes it is time.
