The Rise of Quiet Quitting

Quiet quitting has exploded into our lexicon, sparking countless debates and think pieces. This seemingly new workplace phenomenon describes employees doing the bare minimum at their jobs, no longer subscribing to the “hustle culture” mentality. They’re clocking in and clocking out, leaving work at work, and prioritizing their well-being. But is this revolutionary or simply a rebranding of an age-old concept: setting boundaries?

From Buzzword to Boardroom: Understanding the Quiet Quitting Trend

The term itself might be relatively new, but the sentiment behind it isn’t. For years, employees have struggled with burnout, feeling pressured to go above and beyond, often without proper recognition or compensation. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these issues, leading many to re-evaluate their priorities and seek a healthier work-life balance.

Enter “quiet quitting.” The term, popularized on social media, resonated with a workforce disillusioned with the traditional expectations of work. It offered a seemingly simple solution: disengage from the pressure, stop going the extra mile, and focus on personal time.
