A situation when an employee mentally and emotionally checks out from their job and does the bare minimum to get by.

‍

Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary. Despite the term, the worker doesn’t actually leave their position and continues to collect a salary. This phenomenon highlights a disengagement from the job while still maintaining employment, often as a response to burnout, dissatisfaction, or a desire for better work-life balance.
