Quiet quitting

4 mins read Professionalism/career development
Why are we seeing more health care professionals leaving their jobs or reducing their hours to spend more time with family or for themselves? The work ethic has changed drastically in recent years – and, post-pandemic, ‘quiet quitting’ is the new trend.

‘Quiet quitting’ is best described as mentally checking out of work for the sake of our health and wellbeing. Quiet quitters don’t leave jobs, but instead actively take steps to reset their work-life balance, rejecting the idea that work is life and that they are defined by what they do to earn money.

The phenomenon is nothing new – many of us have on occasion taken time to step back from the workplace to readjust the direction of our lives and reconsider what makes it meaningful.

This may lead to us question the concept of work as central to our existence and the notion that we should go above and beyond in order to succeed in our chosen career.
