Beyond Quiet Quitting: Motivating the New Workforce | Allison Peck | TEDxHartford

Redefining Success: Working Less for a More Fulfilling Life! It’s time to challenge time-honored notions of success. A traditional definition of success is climbing the corporate ladder, working long hours, and accumulating wealth.

Yet research shows that younger generations are increasingly valuing a “soft life” where they work just enough to fund their hobbies, enjoy peace of mind, and spend more time doing what they love. While this trend may seem controversial to some edefining Success: Working Less for a More Fulfilling Life! ??

This certainly makes me rethink how my companies employees are treated - from onboarding to offboarding.

I think it's important to find an occupation that you really enjoy and that it is meaningful to you. If you haven't found it, keep looking. Once you find it, you probably won't want to quit (quietly or otherwise).

In the "ABC" part, the "C" should have been cash.

I am now combining "quiet quitting" and "doing multiple jobs"
Several years ago, the company didn't increase my pay even after great results and long hours..
So, the next year I did the "quiet quitting" only do the minimum 8 hours... that year, my pay stayed the same, but my "hourly wage" increased thanks to decreasing working hours..
After that, I tried to cut the hours to 7 hours and use extra 1 hour to do side hustles... the pay from main job stayed the same, , and overall income increased thanks to the side hustles..
The following year, repeat the same formula, main job 6 hours, extra 2 hours for side hustle, , even higher income... and miraculously got raise for the main job

Excellent well-honed presentation! The growth of executive greed and private equity has eliminated the social contract that leadership had with regular employees. While this statement is not new or amazing, it speaks to where change, in part, needs to come from. I worked since '76 as a factory (manufacturing) engineer at many companies. In this period, the lack of empathy of managers and executives has increased. I now work teaching engineering and I advise my students to find out who REALLY owns the company that they may work for. If it PE or a VC firm pass on the possible employment. The rebuilding of trust will take a generation to fix. Let's get started on this path. Even with AI and all it entails people are still the "special sauce" that makes stuff work.

Feeling apreciated, work-based social functions, On-bording buddies, MANAGERS taking paid time off as... a good example? (WTF!?), I mean... sure, thoses certainly sound like thinly veiled attempts at manipulation to avoid paying your employees a living wage.

You are awesome Allison!… this was an excellent motivational session.

Previous generations worked endless hours of overtime to pay for their house and holidays. They didn't just get handed them like it's implied these days.

Yeh that $30b? Employers do that stuff on purpose because they think it nets them the best talent.

I love how her examples are extremely high wage earners (besides teachers). Ma’am a surgeon or pilot has no reason to “quite quit” They ARE the value. It’s giving intellectual dishonesty

Quiet quitting is what a Boomer calls someone who is doing their job but not working for free.
