What is Quiet Quitting?

You might have heard in the corporate media recently about a new term called "quiet quitting". I am here to explain what that is.

"Quite quitting" is the act of doing one's job that they were originally hired for. That is it. It is not controversial. Any expectation of one going above and beyond what someone was hired and are being paid to do is wholly unreasonable, especially when there is little evidence to show that it results in anything but further expectations to do more for the same pay.

For the employers and managers out there: if you want your workers to do more than what is expected of them, you better expect to pay them accordingly first. It is your responsibility to show your workers why they should go above and beyond for you.

For the workers out there: do not go above and beyond in your role. It is only allowing employers to take advantage of you and your fellow workers. Once you have renegotiated your pay and job description to keep up with inflation and market conditions, then your employer can expect more out of you.
