The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“
The term “quiet quitting” has taken social media by storm, igniting discussions about today’s work culture. But what does it really mean? Is it a sign of mass employee disengagement or a push for healthier boundaries?
Decoding the Buzzword: What is Quiet Quitting?
In essence, “quiet quitting” describes the act of doing the bare minimum at work—meeting requirements without going above and beyond. It’s about opting out of the “hustle culture” that often glorifies overworking.
While the phrase might seem new, the underlying concept isn’t. People have long struggled with burnout and pressure to exceed expectations. “Quiet quitting” simply gives a name to this sentiment, reflecting a growing desire for work-life balance.
