Introduction: The Rise of Quiet Quitting
The modern workplace is constantly evolving, and “quiet quitting” has emerged as a hot topic. But what does it really mean? Quiet quitting isn’t about mass resignations; it’s about employees doing the bare minimum and mentally disconnecting from the “always-on” culture. This begs the question: Is it a sign of disengaged employees, or a plea for healthier boundaries?
The Changing Landscape of Work
The term “quiet quitting” went viral on social media, capturing the sentiment of a workforce grappling with stagnant wages, overwhelming workloads, and pressure to be constantly available. The COVID-19 pandemic further blurred the lines between work and personal life, often tipping the scales unfavorably for the latter.
