“Quiet Quitting”: What Is It? What Should We Do About It?
April 27, 2023, A Question of Ethics Conversation Episode
“Quiet quitting.” It is a topic that many of us have heard about. In an era where it is a challenge to hire employees, is “quiet quitting” an emerging change in the contract between the court and employees, or is it just a new term for some staff not doing their jobs?
In the past it has been given many names: “retiring in place,” “phoning it in,” or “checking out.” What makes this iteration unusual is that it seems to be a mantra heard from younger workers. Millennials and Gen Z workers have often uttered this expression.
