A short YouTube commentary by Alli Peck (uploaded April 9, 2024) asking whether employees should go "above and beyond" at work and introducing the term "quiet quitting" — defined here as doing only the required duties rather than pursuing hustle culture. The speaker questions why "quiet quitting" is framed negatively and suggests it resembles creating work–life balance.
I'm hearing people talk about the term quiet quitting. What that means is people are not going above and beyond anymore. They're not chasing hustle culture at work. They're just doing the required minimum. Essentially, they're doing what they're getting paid to do. Why does quiet quitting have such a negative connotation though? Sure sounds a lot to me like creating work life balance for yourself.
