The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting’
The workplace lexicon is ever-evolving, and the latest buzzword to capture attention is “quiet quitting.” But is it truly a new phenomenon, or simply a rebranding of an age-old struggle for work-life balance?
Decoding the Buzzword: What is Quiet Quitting?
In essence, “quiet quitting” describes employees who choose to do the bare minimum at work. They fulfill their job descriptions, but without the extra enthusiasm, late nights, or weekend warrior mentality that often defines the “hustle culture.”
The trend has ignited passionate debates, with some decrying it as a silent epidemic of disengagement, while others champion it as a long-overdue recalibration of work boundaries.
