The Rise of “Quiet Quitting”
“Quiet quitting” has exploded across social media and water cooler conversations. But is it truly a new phenomenon? Or have we simply given a trendy name to the age-old struggle of setting boundaries between our work and personal lives?
Decoding the Buzzword: What is “Quiet Quitting”?
“Quiet quitting” refers to employees doing the bare minimum at work, fulfilling their job description without going above and beyond. They’re not actively seeking promotions, attending extra meetings, or burning the midnight oil. Instead, they prioritize their well-being and time outside of the office.
This phenomenon has sparked heated debates. Some applaud it as a necessary rebellion against hustle culture and unrealistic expectations. Others criticize it as a lack of ambition and dedication, potentially harming career progression and team morale.
