Although quiet quitting is not new, the vast attention on the topic has made the message louder. The workplace is changing, and in order for managers to succeed, they must pay attention.

Takeaways of Note:
For leaders to protect employees’ mental & physical health and still encourage high performance…
Do not confuse misery for boredom – Workers are still working, but doing it in a manner to get by and keep their minds healthy… the new generation (and generations that will follow) are showing that they will not let work lives get the best of them.
Do not make long hours the goal – Society is long past the time when work was defined by clocking in & out… more hours no longer means more output. Leaders should work with employees to set goals that transcend the long-hours mentality.
Understand multifaceted definitions of success – Each team member should define their own version of success and leaders should help them develop a roadmap to attain it.
