The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“: A New Buzzword or a Cultural Shift?
The term “quiet quitting” has exploded across social media and infiltrated every discussion about work-life balance. Is it just a new buzzword for an age-old phenomenon, or does it point to a deeper shift in how we view our careers and what we owe our employers?
The Changing Landscape of Work
Let’s face it, the traditional model of work, often characterized by long hours and unwavering dedication, is being challenged. The rise of remote work, the gig economy, and a renewed focus on mental well-being have all contributed to employees reevaluating their priorities.
Enter “quiet quitting,” which, despite its name, isn’t about actually quitting your job. It’s about doing the bare minimum required of you – no more, no less. You clock in and out on time, avoid taking on extra responsibilities, and prioritize your personal time above and beyond work demands.
