The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“
The term “quiet quitting” has exploded online, sparking debates across the internet. But is this really a new phenomenon? Or just a new name for an old workplace struggle?
Decoding the “Quiet Quitting” Trend
In a nutshell, “quiet quitting” is about employees doing the bare minimum at work. They show up, but they don’t necessarily go above and beyond, sticking strictly to their job description and hours.
This trend has gained traction in our post-pandemic world, as many people are reevaluating their relationship with work. Burnout, poor work-life balance, and feeling undervalued have all contributed to declining employee morale. “Quiet quitting” can be seen as a form of silent protest, a way for employees to reclaim some control over their time and energy.
