The Quiet Rise of a Noisy Trend

Lately, the internet has been abuzz with chatter about “quiet quitting.” This seemingly new workplace trend has sparked countless articles, think pieces, and heated debates on LinkedIn. But is it truly a new phenomenon, or are we just slapping a catchy label on an old foe: burnout?

What is Quiet Quitting?

In a nutshell, “quiet quitting” refers to the act of doing the bare minimum at work. It’s about fulfilling your job description without going above and beyond.

Essentially, it’s about setting boundaries and prioritizing your well-being over the hustle culture mentality.
