Advanced Quiet Quitting
Shifting the Paradigm to a Worker-Centric Labor Market (the Hard Way)
What is Quiet Quitting?
Quiet quitting refers to an employee’s intentional disengagement and reduction in productivity as a response to being mistreated or undervalued at work. This subtle form of protest can manifest in various ways, such as working at a slower pace, withholding ideas and creativity, and limiting communication with coworkers and supervisors.
Put rather simply, Quiet Quitting is the opposite of Hustle Culture.
The persistent trends of quiet quitting and the great resignation underscore the necessity for transformation within the labor market. With increasing numbers of employees embracing this form of disconnection, it indicates a pervasive discontent regarding salaries, working conditions, and employer behavior. The growing prevalence of quiet quitting highlights the need to reassess the existing framework and transition towards a labor market that prioritizes the well-being and interests of workers.
