Introduction: The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“

The term “quiet quitting” has exploded online, sparking articles, social media storms, and countless think pieces. But is it just another buzzword, or a sign of a deeper shift in how we view work? This post explores whether “quiet quitting” is simply a new name for setting healthy boundaries, or a symptom of a larger work-life balance issue.

Decoding “Quiet Quitting“: What Does It Really Mean?

Let’s be clear: “quiet quitting” isn’t about actually quitting your job. It’s about doing the bare minimum—fulfilling your job description without going above and beyond. Think: skipping optional meetings, leaving work promptly, and opting out of the “hustle culture” common in many workplaces.

This trend emerged post-COVID-19, as many re-evaluated their priorities and questioned traditional work structures. Burnout rates soared, work-life lines blurred, leaving people craving more sustainable, balanced lifestyles.
