The Rise of Quiet Quitting
The term “quiet quitting” has exploded online, sparking debates and think pieces. But what does it mean? Simply put, it’s doing the bare minimum at work—meeting requirements without going above and beyond. No more late nights, extra projects, or checking emails after hours.
Proponents argue it’s about reclaiming time and prioritizing well-being in a world obsessed with overwork. Critics see it as career stagnation and a symptom of employee disengagement.
