The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“

The term “quiet quitting” has exploded online, igniting discussions about work-life balance, employee engagement, and what truly defines good work. But does this trend really mean secretly quitting, or does it signal something deeper—a necessary shift in how we approach our relationship with work?

How Work Evolved and a Buzzword Was Born

The idea of “quiet quitting” emerged post-pandemic, with widespread burnout and employees rethinking their priorities. Years of “hustle culture” and blurred lines between work and personal life have led many to question the expectation of constantly going above and beyond.

Social media fueled the term’s popularity, with countless videos and posts showing individuals rejecting the “live to work” mentality. This resonated with a workforce facing heavier workloads, stagnant pay, and a lack of recognition.
