The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting‘: A New Work Ethic or a Silent Crisis?
The term “quiet quitting” has taken the internet by storm, sparking heated debates about work-life balance, employee expectations, and the very definition of a “good” employee. But is this phenomenon truly a new approach to work or simply a buzzword for an age-old struggle?
Decoding ‘Quiet Quitting‘: What It Is and What It Isn’t
