The Quiet Rebellion: What is ‘Quiet Quitting‘?
The term “quiet quitting” has exploded across social media, becoming a buzzword in work culture. But beneath the catchy label lies a nuanced conversation about employee expectations, work-life balance, and career fulfillment. Is it disengagement, or a healthy recalibration of boundaries between personal and professional life?
From Hustle Culture to Setting Limits: The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting‘
To understand this trend, look back at the rise of “hustle culture” – glorifying overworking and prioritizing professional achievement above all else. Employees were expected to go above and beyond, blurring lines between personal time and work. Burnout became a badge of honor.
Enter “quiet quitting” – a seeming rejection of this always-on mentality. It’s not literally quitting your job, but opting out of the unspoken expectation to go above and beyond. It’s about setting clear boundaries, prioritizing well-being, and focusing on your job description – nothing more, nothing less.
