What is quiet quitting and is it a bad thing?
Work, Stress & Burnout
Quiet quitting means doing your job as described without going above and beyond; it's a response to burnout and a way to set boundaries.
Quiet quitting isn't about slacking off; it's about doing the job you're paid for and nothing more. It's a response to the expectation that employees should constantly go above and beyond, often without extra compensation. Quiet quitting is a way of setting Personal boundaries and reclaiming your time and energy for your life outside of work. While some employers might see it negatively, it can be a healthy response to Occupational burnout and a way to create a more sustainable work-life integration. It's about working to live, not living to work.
