The Rise of “Quiet Quitting”: A New Term for an Old Problem?

The modern workplace is buzzing with talk of “quiet quitting.” But is it a silent protest against hustle culture, a way to reclaim personal time, or simply a new term for setting healthy boundaries? The answer, as with most things, is nuanced.

Decoding the Trend: From Social Media Buzzword to Workplace Reality

The term “quiet quitting” exploded on social media, capturing the zeitgeist of a workforce grappling with burnout and seeking better work-life integration. However, the concept itself isn’t new. Employees have long struggled with disengagement and disillusionment, often feeling pressured to go above and beyond.

What’s different now is the open conversation surrounding these issues. The pandemic, with its blurred work-life boundaries, forced many to re-evaluate their priorities. “Quiet quitting” emerged as a way to name and address these feelings of discontent.
