Quiet Quitting or Setting Boundaries? Exploring Today’s Workplace
The Rise of “Quiet Quitting”: Trend or Tipping Point?
Lately, the term “quiet quitting” has taken the internet by storm, sparking countless debates and think pieces. It describes the phenomenon of employees doing the bare minimum at work, not going above and beyond, and mentally checking out. But is this really a new trend, or is it simply a new name for an age-old struggle between employee well-being and employer expectations?

Factors like burnout, lack of recognition, and limited growth opportunities contribute to this shift.
