What is Quiet Quitting? 5 Ways to Prevent Quiet Quitting

06:02 - What is my view of Quiet Quitting?

This first came to prominence via TikTok. Yes, a simple Tiktok video essentially saying “I am tired of my job, I am tired of the extra hours. I am now going to react by doing the bare minimum of my job function, and that’s it.” Or another way of putting it “Quitting the idea of going above and beyond at work”

Quiet Quitting it does not really say what is actually going on. It is simply where employees are unhappy and less motivated. They just want to work the bare minimum. It’s where the employee could be ready to quit, and will probably quit if pushed further, or if they are offered another role elsewhere.

But what I do like about this trend, is that this is all bringing fresh awareness to how employers need to communicate better and treat their staff. We need to look after our employees, create a great culture, prevent burnout, and maintain great engagement and wellbeing.

This is about managing a new generation differently. We are now in a world and era where good working conditions and leadership matter more than ever. This includes flexible workplaces, remote working options, having a diverse workforce, and providing a learning culture. In today’s world, employee engagement and happiness in the workplace is far different to how it was 20 years ago.

This is about managing a new generation differently. It is now more important than ever before to have good working conditions and to have good leadership.

Quiet quitting sounds great, doing what your job requires, and not letting it consume your life. Good work life balance. I'm just not quite seeing problem

It's quite refreshing to hear this from an entrepreneur. It's quite troubling how a lot of entrepreneurs out there expect their employees to go above and beyond for free as if they also own a piece of the business all for the expectation that you can hope for a meager 3% increase or a promotion that is always waved in front of you but never seems to come. Employers should share the attitude, that if they want their employees to go above and beyond, then they should also provide their employees with the above and beyond.

Quiet quitting is ok in my book and its here to stay. Do your job and do it right. But do not go above and beyond. Its not worth it.

Performance will be on par with the pay

Employers have demanded just a little more than they're paying for all my working life. No more. I'm retired.

I think it's funny that employers see getting only what they pay for as a problem. employee recognition should be in the form of MORE MONEY.

This video is quite missing the whole point of quiet quitting overall, and the speaking points are actually causing quiet quitting, not the opposite. The speaker point #1, expectations are already clear - and often they are unreasonable, leading to quiet quitting. It is not a problem of not knowing what the role should involve, unless management is lying about it. #2, Managers who need to often check in with their team members are literally not doing their job properly. A proper manager will give the worker the tools and understanding to perform autonomously, without needing to be babysat. In truth, the frequent check-in will be seen as unwelcome micromanagement. Dont do this, it will lead to quiet quitting. If the employee is struggling or needs help, let them know channels to get the help they need. When they need it, they will reach out. Otherwise, stay out of their way and let them do their jobs. #3 OT should never be mandatory. If local laws dont prevent forced overtime, get the laws changed. OT is too easily exploited by capitalist economies with crap labor laws (such as the US). #4 Recognizing employees work - nice words are just that, nice. They dont pay bills. Recognize with MONEY. If you dont, you will lose your top performers. #5, Any manager who feels entitled to get employees to work on their days off needs to be terminated. Not on shift? Ignore calls from work, unless you want more OT. This is a no-brainer. No. Dont write the email and set it to deliver on Monday. WRITE THE EMAIL ON MONDAY.
