The Great Resignation’s Legacy: Redefining Work
The way we work is changing. Gone are the days of blind loyalty and relentless hustle being the only paths to professional success. The pandemic, coupled with the “Great Resignation,” ignited a powerful conversation about employee well-being and the boundaries between our personal and professional lives. At the heart of this conversation lies a debate: Is it “quiet quitting” or simply setting healthy boundaries?
From Hustle Culture to Boundary Setting: Understanding the Shift
For decades, “hustle culture” reigned supreme. We were conditioned to believe that success meant going above and beyond, consistently exceeding expectations, and prioritizing work above all else. However, this often came at a cost – burnout, strained relationships, and diminished personal well-being.
Enter the era of boundary setting. Employees, particularly younger generations, are pushing back against the always-on mentality. They are seeking greater flexibility, autonomy, and a better balance between their work and personal lives. This shift in perspective has given rise to new approaches to navigating the workplace.
