Quiet quitting is the latest trend in the corporate world. The phrase is being used across the internet, but what does it actually mean? At Adzuna<\/a>, we have looked into what quiet quitting is, where it came from, and what to avoid if you want to follow the trend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is \u2018quiet quitting\u2019?<\/h3>\n

The term isn\u2019t exactly what it sounds like, in fact, there is no actual quitting associated with it. Quiet quitting is simply the rejection of hustle culture. A whole new wave of employees, especially Gen-Z, are rejecting the idea of going above and beyond in their jobs to simply do the requirements of the role. Some have described the move as doing the bare minimum to avoid being fired, with others describing quiet quitting as rejecting the idea that work has to take over your life. Essentially, employees are putting their foot down and only doing what is outlined in their contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n

How are employees quiet quitting?<\/h3>\n

There are several ways in which employees are following the trend. Employees are refusing to do projects outside of their job descriptions. They are also leaving work on time, as well as refusing to answer work emails, messages, or phone calls outside of work hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where has quiet quitting come from?<\/h3>\n

The trend of quiet quitting is believed to be an adaptation of China\u2019s \u2018lying flat\u2019 movement. This movement in China saw young people reject high-pressure jobs with little reward for an easier, more balanced life. Young people in China welcomed the movement but it was quickly censored by Chinese social media platforms and rejected by the Chinese Communist Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

To many of us, quiet quitting has come from nowhere, so how are we hearing about it? The concept itself has been around for a while but it has seen a surge recently from TikTok<\/a>. In fact, the #QuietQuitting hashtag currently has over 4.6 million views. Users of the social media platform have been sharing the ways that they are quietly quitting and the benefits they are seeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The phenomenon has seen a huge uptake recently, but why is this? Well, it is partially linked to the Great Resignation. During the pandemic, employees shifted their priorities and sought a better work-life balance. By not staying past 5 pm or not doing more than is required in their job description, employees started to feel less burned out. <\/span>Deloitte\u2019s 2022 Gen Z and Millennial survey<\/span><\/a> found that 45% of Gen Zers feel burned out due to their work environment. This is a huge contributor to the new wave of quiet quitting being seen right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
