There’s a new term floating around for an old workplace challenge. “Quiet quitting” is the popular new catchphrase to describe employees who don’t actually quit but just continue to perform the essential requirements of their jobs and don’t go above and beyond or put in extra effort to stand out as star performers.
At first glance, one might think “quiet quitting” sounds a lot like just doing one’s job. And that’s technically true, but the problem (from an employer’s perspective) is that quiet quitting represents a total lack of employee engagement.
