The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting‘: A New Name for an Old Struggle
The internet is buzzing with a new workplace phenomenon: “quiet quitting.” But is it really a new trend, or just a catchy phrase for something many employees have been doing for years? This concept has sparked a heated debate about work-life balance, employee expectations, and the very definition of a “good” employee.
Decoding the Buzzword: What is ‘Quiet Quitting‘?
‘Quiet quitting‘ refers to the act of doing the bare minimum at work. It’s about fulfilling your job description without going above and beyond, setting clear boundaries between your professional and personal life. It’s not about slacking off or being intentionally unproductive; it’s about opting out of the ‘hustle culture’ and prioritizing your well-being.
