The Silent Shift: Quiet Quitting Takes Center Stage
The workplace is abuzz, but not with the usual hustle and bustle. Instead, whispers of “quiet quitting” echo through breakrooms and online forums, igniting passionate discussions about employee engagement, work-life balance, and the very definition of a “good” employee. But is this trend a sign of disengagement or a healthy push for boundaries?
What is Quiet Quitting? Decoding the Buzzword
Despite its name, quiet quitting isn’t about actually leaving your job. It’s more about a subtle shift in attitude and effort. Instead of going above and beyond, “quiet quitters” stick strictly to their job description, clocking out mentally and physically when the workday ends.
Think:
- Skipping optional after-work events.
- Not checking emails outside of work hours.
- Declining projects beyond their pay grade.
