The Quiet Rise of Workplace Disengagement

Lately, the term “quiet quitting” has exploded across social media and infiltrated water-cooler conversations (or perhaps the virtual equivalent). It’s sparked debates, think pieces, and a fair share of eye rolls. But beyond the catchy phrase lies a complex issue impacting workplaces everywhere: employee disengagement.

Decoding the Buzzword: 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 opting out of the hustle culture mentality. While it doesn’t necessarily involve a dramatic resignation, it signifies a shift in employee mindset – a withdrawal of enthusiasm and a prioritization of personal time over work demands.
