Quiet quitters are taking the phrase “phoning it in” to a whole new level.
Today, 21 percent of employed Americans are doing the bare minimum, according to an August 2022 ResumeBuilder.com survey, and 5 percent say they do less than they’re being paid for. The reasons behind this trend—which has become known as “quiet quitting”—vary, but 8 out of 10 people surveyed by ResumeBuilder.com say they are simply burned out. The good news, however, is that 9 out of 10 people who consider themselves quiet quitters can be persuaded to work to their full potential.
