The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“
“Quiet quitting” has become a hot topic, trending across social media and infiltrating workplace conversations. But is it really a new phenomenon or just a trendy name for an old struggle? This supposed trend, where employees do the bare minimum and mentally check out, has sparked a debate about work-life balance, employee engagement, and the very nature of a job.
Decoding the Buzzword: What Does “Quiet Quitting” Really Mean?
“Quiet quitting” describes employees disengaging from the “always-on” hustle culture common in many workplaces. They resist going above and beyond, sticking strictly to their job descriptions and prioritizing personal time. Some see this as a negative trend showing a lack of commitment, while others view it as pushing back against unrealistic expectations and heavy workloads.
