The Rise of Quiet Quitting
The modern workplace is buzzing with a new term: “quiet quitting.” It’s a trend sweeping across social media, sparking conversations and debates about work-life balance, employee expectations, and the very nature of a job. But is this silent phenomenon truly the answer to our professional woes, or is it a band-aid solution for a much deeper issue?
What is Quiet Quitting?
Before we delve into the heart of the matter, let’s define “quiet quitting.” Contrary to what the name might suggest, it doesn’t involve actually quitting your job. Instead, it’s about setting clear boundaries between your professional and personal life. It’s about doing the work you are paid for, nothing more, nothing less. No more going above and beyond, no more burning the midnight oil, and no more sacrificing personal time for the sake of exceeding expectations.
