    I'm "quiet quitting" my job.

    I feel I'm underpaid, and my three best friends at the office left. Two got different jobs, and one just flat out quit. They work different roles and went to small companies, so no room for me to join.

    I asked for more money and was denied.

    My direct report is lazy and I'm tired of following up just to get things moving.

    So I'm working less and just enough to keep people satisfied. And whatever takes too long, I can blame on my higher up.

    No one has ever accused me of not doing my job.
