From Wikipedia, “Quiet Quitting” is an application of work-to-rule, in which employee work within defined work hours and engage in work-related activities solely within those hours. Despite the name, the philosophy of quiet quitting is not connected to quitting a job outright but rather doing precisely what the job requires. Proponents of quiet quitting refer to it as “acting your wage.” You’ve probably seen TikToks and other social media posts related to this concept.
In this episode, I share some tips to help you if you are quietly quitting. Plus, I share some tips for managers who might suspect one or more of their employees are quietly quitting.
