According to Gallup, the workplace consulting and global research platform, there has been a gross decline in engagement and employer satisfaction found among Gen-Z and millennials (below age 35). Statistically, more than 80% of employees around the world could be quiet quitting right now. On the other hand, Psychology Today reports relationship therapists have seen an increase in couple's therapy sessions due to an increase in arguments and a decrease in emotional or physical intimacy, resulting from partners no longer being on the same page.
Society is showing that they've had it with hustle culture, and this attitude, filled with frustration and exhaustion (and perhaps boredom), seems to be trickling down into other spheres of life - whether it be parenting, hobbies relationships, or just life in general. The notion is that you give no more than is needed; no more going above and beyond expectations.
While some may see it as an opportunity to prioritise worklife balance, improve their setting of boundaries, and better their overall mental health, others see quiet quitting as a bad habit - a time where people have become lazy and self-absorbed. To set the record straight, we asked for some expert advice from local professionals to better understand the ins and outs of quiet quitting and learn more about what the potential consequences could be.
