Quiet quitting is a workplace trend where employees mentally disengage, performing only the tasks explicitly outlined in their job descriptions. It's a subtle form of resistance, not outright resignation, but a withdrawal of discretionary effort. This behavior often stems from burnout, lack of recognition, or feeling undervalued. Rather than going above and beyond, individuals set strict boundaries, prioritizing work-life balance and mental well-being. It reflects a shift in employee attitudes, signaling a desire for healthier work environments and a rejection of the "hustle culture.
