Introduction: The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“

The term “quiet quitting” has taken social media by storm, igniting conversations about work-life balance and employee engagement. But is this just another fleeting buzzword, or does it signal a deeper shift in our relationship with work?

Decoding “Quiet Quitting“: What Does It Really Mean?

Emerging in early 2022, “quiet quitting” describes the act of fulfilling your job requirements without subscribing to the hustle culture of going above and beyond. It’s not about neglecting work or outright quitting; rather, it’s a conscious decision to establish clear boundaries between professional and personal life.

This trend gained traction following the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted many to re-evaluate their priorities and led to widespread burnout. As employees experienced remote work and flexible schedules, they began questioning the expectation of overworking, especially when it came at the expense of their well-being.
