If you perform just enough not to be fired, you might be a "Quiet Quitter". Is it wrong not to go above and beyond at work? Just doing the job requirements and only working hours in trade of money? Should you be shamed for working 9-5 monday through Friday. If you don't answer that email on your vacation or take that call after hours, you might be a "Quiet Quitter". Why is this bad, after all you are not being paid for the extra effort and there's no promotion waiting at the end of the month. The definition for a "Quiet Quitter" is someone who does not endure the hustle culture and go above and beyond in the workplace (summed up). It is a loose definition, meaning lots of loose interpretations, meaning more possibilities for a toxic workplace. No one wants that. In the day and age of Pandemics and culture changes, we need to learn and discuss together how to combat more Negative Changes to ourselves and those around us. Some are easily confused, but that doesn't have to be you. Send in your stories if you know someone who is a "Quiet Quitter" or if you think you yourself is a "Quiet Quitter" I guarantee you, it's most likely NOT your FAULT. It's not a new concept, workplace toxicity has been known FOREVER!
