A few articles writing about quiet quitting has came out in my feed and I find it pretty interesting as we do see many new words that express different behaviours. I wrote about 躺平, a phenomenon happening in China and now quiet quitting comes up which is something some people are doing.
So let’s define quiet quitting: Quiet Quitting is basically to show up at work and do the absolute bare minimum to get by. Quiet quitting is very much the opposite of hustling which was pretty popular awhile back. Quiet quitting became popular partly due to the pandemic as the focus shift from working hard to having work-life balance and paying more attention to your well-being as people realise that jobs are no longer as secure and companies won’t treat you well if they have to cut cost.
