Certainly, every generation of workers has gone through this, but this has really gained prominence after two years of burnout from work during the pandemic when for lots of folks,
work really took over and in many cases subsumed life and now they're trying to establish or re-establish some firmer boundaries you know many of the workers we've seen who've been really vocal in favor of this who said that they identify you know personally as quiet quitters are young and so much of their working lives or all of their working lives in some cases have taken place
during the pandemic when we've seen really widespread burnout among employees and this in many cases I think can be seen as a logical response.
We've seen some really prominent people weigh in on this, and the tone varies a little bit, you know, between takes on this.
We've seen Kevin O'Leary, who's of course the star of ABC's Shark Tank, has said publicly that this is a really terrible way to approach your career, that, you know, if you want to be successful professionally,
You have to go all in and that's how you'll get where you want to go.
Arianna Huffington, also the founder and CEO of Thrive Global, wrote a LinkedIn post about this which got a great deal of traction and spoke with us and said that for workers who feel this way,
You know, even if you're just coasting for eight hours a day, in some ways selling yourself short and in other ways missing out for a bunch of time every day when really, you know, you could have good boundaries and work that feels more rewarding during that time.
Yeah, takes on this certainly vary between workers, between managers and executives.
You know, one of the people I spoke with for this story is an executive coach who said that it's really incumbent upon leaders to set really clear expectations and also to communicate with workers about how their performance will be evaluated.
And so if you do have a worker who's
doing what you've asked, who's meeting expectations, who is successful by the metrics that you've set out, then why would you, the manager, be torn up about it?
If that worker is not lying awake in the middle of the night stressed about their job or sending emails at 9 p.m., if they are meeting those expectations, that's a success story.
One of the people I spoke with for this story was a communications professional in Indianapolis.
And she said that for her quiet quitting, though she did say she sort of likes the term and thinks it's catchy, was an exercise in futility.
She had a job where she felt really dissatisfied and she thought the way I'm gonna cope with this is I'm just gonna coast, I'm gonna clock in and clock out.
and not worry about this.
But she really found herself constitutionally unable to do so.
Doing that felt even more frustrating.
Her work felt even less meaningful.
