Quiet Quitting is SO Last Year: What ‘Quiet Thriving’ Really Means for Your Career
The Rise of Quiet Thriving
Remember “quiet quitting”? That whole trend of doing the bare minimum at work and mentally checking out? Well, it seems like the workplace whisper-network has moved on to a new, more empowering concept: Quiet Thriving. This isn’t about slacking off; it’s about reclaiming your power, setting healthy boundaries, and finding ways to actually enjoy your work-life, all while remaining employed.
From Disengagement to Engagement: Understanding the Shift
Quiet quitting was born out of pandemic burnout and a growing sense of disillusionment with hustle culture. Employees, feeling overworked and undervalued, opted for silent disengagement. But quiet thriving flips the script. It’s about taking proactive steps to improve your work experience without necessarily jumping ship.
Think of it this way: Quiet quitting was like turning down the volume on a song you didn’t like. Quiet thriving is creating a whole new playlist that energizes and inspires you.
