“Quiet quitting” generally refers to employees fulfilling their job requirements without going above and beyond. It’s about opting out of the hustle culture that often prioritizes work over everything else.
This trend gained traction after the COVID-19 pandemic forced many to re-evaluate their priorities and seek a healthier work-life balance. The blurred lines between work and personal life during this time contributed to burnout and a desire for greater control over time and energy.
