What do you think about "Quiet quitting"?

Most employees have a honeymoon period when they join a new organization. Somewhere between the first 3-6 months. That's when they're most involved, put in extra hours and try to contribute their best to the organization. Now in this period of time, if organization recognises this efforts, encourages them and offers them an opportunity to grow - they'll keep pushing themselves like this. If not, over a period of time (Maybe a year or two) they'll lose interest and only do the bare minimum which is required to keep their job aka quiet quitting. This is my personal thoughts on Quiet Quitting.

It's definitely a thing! And one of the reasons our app has a use case that can mitigate the issue.

wow thats a new term learnt today...thanks being the boss of my own company ... my opinion will be biased obviously... so here we go... i hate "quite quitting"

I think it's a severe problem for many organizations. People don't want to make compromises anymore. Whenever they have to choose or lack the resources they need (help, motivation, knowledge...), their want to leave will increase.

I always wanna do that but never did that before :)

If it's a case of just doing what is on their job description and nothing more and no additional hours then maybe the job description and hours need to change? There's a lot of unspoken rules about work and hours in each company and maybe those expectations need to be more transparent and rewarded accordingly. There will always be people who want to stick to the 9 - 5 and either consciously or not don't go above and beyond. And there are those due to dissatisfaction who don't see the point in doing any extra and disengage.

Agree with many on this thread. It's always been there. The recent volatility (covid, economies) have forced many to think about changes and question their current roles / career paths, which may have created a spike in 'quiet quitting', but it's definitely always been there, triggered by: - Ineffective or toxic managers - Unclear strategy - Burnout And so many other factors. Great that it's getting airtime so we can all learn how to support co-workers and employees to prevent it happening.

Ammm, I haven't heard of it but does that mean quit in private?

I think it's not a new topic at all. In fact, we've learned about this at uni already. The term might not have been that catchy, but the experience has always been there. I think it's such a hot topic now that people had a bit more flexibility during Covid and now being forced back into offices, they notice how dissatisfied they really are.

I think quiet quitting is something that has always been there. My question is... why do you think it's such a hot topic now? What made the term so popular all of a sudden?

I think it's the result when you depend of a salary, you want to "optimise it" as much as possible. I think it is just human but unfortunate when you are not passionate by your work.

I wanna do that but never did that before....

It doesn't actually involve quitting a job, but doing less at work—perhaps refusing to work overtime or answer emails outside of work hours

In my eyes doing the minimum requirements of one's job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary. Financial planning firm Money Accounts will assist you with all your investment planning.
