The Rise of “Quiet Quitting”
The workplace is abuzz with talk of “quiet quitting.” No, it doesn’t involve a dramatic resignation letter or a mic drop on the way out the door. Instead, it’s a much quieter rebellion, a subtle shift in how employees are approaching their jobs. But is it a sign of apathy, or is it simply a way of reclaiming personal time and well-being?
Understanding the Quiet Quitting Phenomenon
The term “quiet quitting” gained traction on social media, particularly TikTok, where videos showcasing workers doing the bare minimum and prioritizing their lives outside of work went viral. This trend reflects a growing sentiment among employees, especially Gen Z and Millennials, who are pushing back against the “hustle culture” that’s often glorified in today’s work environment.
