Is ‘Quiet Quitting’ Really Quiet Quitting? Or Just Setting Boundaries?



The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting

The internet is buzzing, the water cooler is churning – everyone’s talking about “quiet quitting.” But what exactly is it? Is it a mass exodus of disengaged employees, or a sign of shifting priorities in a post-pandemic world?

Defining Quiet Quitting: More Than Meets the Eye

The term itself might suggest a stealthy resignation, but “quiet quitting” is less about actually leaving your job and more about leaving the hustle culture behind. It’s about doing your job, and doing it well, but drawing a line between work life and personal life. No more late nights, no more weekend emails, no more going above and beyond out of a sense of obligation or fear.
