Listen "Quiet Quitting: Good or Concerning"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat is "quiet quitting" and why is everyone talking about it?There are really two differently defined perspectives on this issue. One side is saying, "hey, employees need a good work-life balance so quiet quitting is just doing what you are asked." While others are seeing it as "doing the bare minimum meaning just enough not to get fired."Both sides have merits and I think it is important to recognize there are good companies and bad companies. Some companies understand a work-lifer balance and provide good benefits while others are bad in the sense that they try and maximize every last hour out of their employees. Besides taking this issue at face value I think many are realizing they are unhappy with their careers in general. They might not enjoy the type of work, their colleagues, or the career lifestyle. It is important for people to really figure out if they need a simple company change or an entire career change. Some careers do require more hours than others and are more competitive. There is nothing wrong with finding a slow moving career. Now that being said, those that quietly quit should not expect good promotions and pay raises compared to other employees who are going above and beyond.Support the show
