Lately, the "quiet quitting" work style is booming among young workers. What does quiet quitting actually mean?

Quiet quitting is the habit of working as needed, refusing overtime and not wanting to pursue a career.

Based on VOA Indonesia, a survey from Gallup found stress in the workplace increased from 38% in 2019 to 43% in 2020 as COVID-19 broke out and turned the world of work upside down.

The data also mentions that the greatest pressure is experienced by female workers in the United States and Canada.

This condition then triggered the phenomenon of 'massive resignations' - an increase in the number of employees leaving or changing jobs amid pressures related to the pandemic.

However, many people say that they are actually willing to work hard, only during appropriate working hours. 

Taking care of your mental health is good, but is quiet quitting safe for your career?

Companies will certainly not feel comfortable hiring workers with poor performance and throwing away good opportunities and opportunities for their careers.

Business Insider says, "If the labor market changes, people who are quiet quitting will be at the top of the layoff list."

In line with this, a Bloomberg article also states, “Quiet quitting can indeed protect mental and physical health in a toxic work environment. However, staying in a miserable job and doing minimal intensity work can also mean giving up opportunities that could come from a better job.”

So do you still want to practice quite quitting?
