This Working Life · The dangers of silence at work · 26 Jul 2026 podcast

Allow you to progress or advance.

In a way, maybe that's not always evil.

Maybe it is good for your own personal growth as well, as long as it doesn't harm other people, but it can.

So I think that's quite dangerous.

But there's also

in some forms positive versions of silence in what we call more pro-social or more relational types of silence.

So this is when you um intentionally withhold information to help others.

Or, you know, like you have a colleague who might have made an error or mistake and you don't want them to face any negative consequences in the workplace.

So you kinda help them by not saying anything.

That might

harm the organization that might harm the team, but it's to save your friend or your colleague.

And that that's one example of being pro-social.

But so there were so many types.

There's one that was around being more disengaged.

If you don't feel confident, um, if you don't if you feel disengaged or burnt out at work, you can also remain silent as well.

So you can see all these different forms of why one might choose

to be quiet or to withhold.

So I would say that in terms of silence behaviors, we can break it down to the organizational level, the team level, the individual level.

So at the individual level, um, what happens is that when you're silent, you can often become emotionally exhausted.

You can feel burnout from your job, you can feel dissatisfied with your job.
