Is 'Quiet Quitting' Just Doing My Job? A German Perspective 🇩🇪
Lately, I’ve been feeling completely overwhelmed at work. My boss keeps hinting that I should "go the extra mile," but honestly, I’m just doing what my contract says. I clock in, do my tasks, and leave on time—like any sane person would, right? But somehow, I’m made to feel guilty, as if I’m slacking off or betraying the team.
I recently read about how in Germany, this is the norm. People work their hours, take their breaks, and actually use their vacation days. No one calls it "quiet quitting"—it’s just called having a life. Meanwhile, here I am, stressed out and wondering if I’m the problem for not burning out on purpose.
Is it really so wrong to want a work-life balance? Am I missing something, or is this just a cultural trap? I’d love to hear how others handle this pressure. Any advice for someone trying to stay sane in a world that seems to reward overwork? 😩🤔
