At least half of the U.S. workforce is “quiet quitting,” according to Gallup. These workers are still fulfilling their basic job duties, but they’re no longer willing to put in extra (unpaid) hours, take on new duties or “step up for the team.”
Also referred to as “work-life integration” or “acting your wage,” the quiet quitting trend first gained notoriety on TikTok and then spread into the mainstream.
