Let’s talk about quiet quitting.

These three gentlemen were a great panel to have this discussion. Simon Coles is a CEO and founder of a foundation. Ed Samuel is a Career Coach and Jim Tam is a Principal Client Director.

 

At the start of the conversation it seemed that all three of them agreed that quiet quitting has been around for a long time, it just has a label now and that, for the most part it was the fault of the leadership if their people weren’t motivated to do a great job.

 

Jim made the observation that quiet quitting only really applies to white collar workers. In the trades we don’t see this push back of people “only” working the hours they are scheduled and doing the job as expected.

 

But in the white-collar world there is this idea that we should go above and beyond or we aren’t performing.

 

Is quiet quitting measured by what the average worker can output in a set time or by what you as an individual can do?

 

If I am capable of doing more in an eight-hour shift, am I required to do it or be considered a quiet quitter?

Simon believes that as an employer he owns that excess and that it is reasonable to expect someone who is young without a lot of life responsibility to work more hours. (This same idea came up when we talked about someone holding two full-time work-from-home jobs)

 

Jim disagreed.

 

You will have to listen to the end of the conversation to hear their thoughts on that topic. Then I would like to know;

 

Do you agree or disagree and what are your thoughts on Quiet Quitting?
