The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“
The internet is buzzing with a new term: “quiet quitting.” But what does it really mean? Is it the silent resignation of a generation disillusioned with hustle culture, or is it simply a rebranding of an age-old concept – setting boundaries?
Understanding the Changing Workplace Context

Burnout rates are soaring, and employees are increasingly questioning the value of going above and beyond for their employers.
