The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting

Lately, the internet has been abuzz with talk of “quiet quitting.” This seemingly new trend has sparked countless articles, social media debates, and even think pieces about the future of work. But is quiet quitting a genuine phenomenon, or just a catchy phrase for a problem that’s been brewing for years?

Defining ‘Quiet Quitting‘: More Than Meets the Eye?

At its core, “quiet quitting” refers to employees doing the bare minimum at work. They’re not going above and beyond, they’re clocking in and clocking out, fulfilling their contractual obligations but not much else.

Some see it as a form of workplace apathy, a sign of disengagement and low morale. Others argue it’s simply employees setting healthy boundaries, refusing to buy into the “hustle culture” that often leads to burnout.
