The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting’
The term “quiet quitting” has taken the internet by storm, sparking countless debates and think pieces about the modern workplace. But is it really a new phenomenon, or are we simply putting a trendy name to an age-old struggle – the quest for a healthy work-life balance?
Decoding the Buzzword: What is ‘Quiet Quitting’?
At its core, ‘quiet quitting’ refers to the act of doing the bare minimum at work. It’s about fulfilling your job description without going above and beyond, opting out of the hustle culture that often glorifies overworking. This can manifest in various ways, from declining extra projects to setting firm boundaries around work hours.
While the term might suggest complete disengagement, many argue that it’s simply about setting healthy boundaries and reclaiming personal time. It’s about shifting priorities and recognizing that work isn’t everything.
