A new generation of workers is renouncing hustle culture—going above and beyond workplace expectations—and embracing the philosophy of “quiet quitting” in its place. Any sort of alleged “quitting” can easily have upper management feeling unsettled. But is this trending phenomenon a sign of employee laziness, or is it a call for workplace reform?
With more than fifteen years’ experience in human resources, I believe business executives can benefit from having a deeper, more nuanced perspective of this movement.
