Agree Khaled! I wouldn’t find it professional if an employee just does that! Not even productive for the employee itself! Better work out a strategy with or without the employer’s help to see how to rekindle that ‘passion’ while continuing to do your Best ar work. Having said that, it is not to undermine the fact that ‘disengaged employees’ are there and it is the employer responsibility as well to drive engagement while driving performance. Org Health surveys can help identify the key issues to tackle and put programs around them to drive employee engagement!

I could talk for hours about this and how - in its current incarnation - it is counterproductive. But some context is needed to temper the backlash and to avoid losing sight of the wider issues surrounding fair pay and work/life balance. The early articles on this were a lot more nuanced compared to now. The inevitable meme-ification of the concept (particularly prevalent because of the fact that it is social-media-native Gen Z who are driving the concept) has turned something quite sensitively considered into something dumb. Initially, and in my view properly, the idea was heavily caveated. Ie, it was employees who had been promised (or at least heavily nudged) that promotion, increased pay etc would flow from extra work who, when these things didn’t materialise, decided that the quid pro quo wasn’t genuine and therefore stopped doing their side of the bargain. To me this is fair. But a blanket “I’m only doing the minimum” is misguided IF the same person still wants to achieve / receive the maximum. We all know that you don’t get promoted / a raise etc for simply doing your (current) job. You get them for doing your job and DEMONSTRATING that you can do the job above. It’s impossible to demonstrate this without doing more!

It’s a bit of a slippery slope we’re on! I fear that “quiet quitting” is being used and abused to be lazy at work. This triggers a domino effect where the work is then unfairly weighed onto those who aren’t “quietly quitting” and in turn they become overworked. The situation is further aggravated when the company culture allows for this unequal distribution of the workload; when it’s about getting the work done, regardless of who’s doing it and without appreciation nor reprimand. Now “Act Your Wage” is certainly a cooler term (with a bit of humor!) but really, where are we heading with such language?? Whatever happened to “love what you do & do what you love”, I wonder? ?? And… YES employers still have to engage employees and harness a positive working environment. So they’re definitely not off the hook!

Starting a war in sailing ship is a losing situation for all those on it. I think that the slacking attitude and act your wage should not be tolerated and should be tolerated but rather should be terminated I think that strong people are strong anywhere at any wage. They act strong or leave but damaging the environment eith quiet quitting is ridiculous and toxic.
