The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“

The modern workplace is buzzing with a new phrase: “quiet quitting.” It’s a trend capturing headlines and sparking debates about work-life balance, employee engagement, and the very nature of a job. But is it really about quitting quietly, or is it something else entirely?

Decoding Quiet Quitting: What Does It Really Mean?

Coined in 2022, “quiet quitting” refers to the idea of employees doing the bare minimum at work. They’re not going above and beyond, not chasing promotions, and essentially, mentally checking out while physically remaining employed.

This trend emerged against the backdrop of several factors:

• The Great Resignation: Witnessing mass resignations fueled a desire for better work-life balance and a reassessment of priorities.
• Burnout Culture: The “always-on” mentality and pressure to constantly overperform contributed to widespread employee burnout.
• Shifting Values: Younger generations prioritize personal well-being and may be less inclined to sacrifice everything for their careers.
