Quiet Quitting and the Self-Care Revolution
For Employees, What are the Potential Benefits of Quiet Quitting?
If quiet quitting is driven by disengagement, if it clearly isn’t a pleasant experience, then why are people doing it?
If you are in a situation where you find yourself disengaged from your work, or your work environment is negatively impacting your well-being (for example, if the culture isn’t inclusive or it is unsafe to speak your truth at work), quiet quitting can have benefits.
I strongly urge you to explore other options first, however. Have a conversation with your boss or with HR. This isn’t just for the benefit of the organization, but for your benefit as well. You deserve to feel good about the work that you do, to feel proud of your contributions, to feel seen and respected. It’s normal and even healthy for work to challenge us at times, but it shouldn’t drain you.
