Quiet quitting is not the answer.

It’s clear the way we work today is not sustainable.

▫️undefined working hours

▫️unrealistic expectations

▫️blurred lines between work and home life

▫️requirements to go above and beyond to get recognized

… this list goes on and on.

People are burning out. They’re losing their sense of purpose. And they’re ready to do things differently, like ‘quiet quitting’.

Quiet quitting is not abruptly leaving a job but doing exactly what the job requires, no more no less.

Here’s what it looks like:

▫️choosing to physically distance yourself from work

▫️not going above and beyond at work

▫️doing only what you’re paid for

▫️withdrawing from colleagues

▫️silently creating boundaries

Quiet quitting is just as unsustainable as the way we’re currently working.

Here’s why:

Quiet quitting is a form of backlash against organizations. Employees that are choosing to quiet quit are often frustrated, unmotivated and resentful about their work. This keeps them in a state of misalignment. And so quiet quitting will not be the cure to burnout and work-life balance.

It’s not realistic or healthy to hang out in this state longer than necessary.

Here’s what I suggest working towards instead:

▫️creating + communicating boundaries

▫️unraveling your identity from your job

▫️reassessing your priorities

▫️creating goals based upon priorities and core values

▫️sharing what motivates you with your leaders

▫️taking breaks throughout the workday

▫️using your vacation days

If this feels impossible at the company you’re at today – maybe bigger decisions regarding ‘fit’ need to be made.

Remember when you enjoyed your job and your career progression and relationship with your company was important to you?

The goal is to get back to that. I understand that employers have a large responsibility but we know that companies don’t change overnight. I want to help you take control of your situation and implement change from a place of empowerment.
