Based on Google Trends data, the term "quiet quitting" peaks in August 2022 in the U.S. Now the term is rampant in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. Quiet quitting actually doesn’t mean quitting a job. It just means doing what’s required and having more of a work-life balance.

It can’t be denied that the recent enthusiasm for quiet quitting says something about our post-pandemic zeitgeist. With a super tight labor market, it gives workers multiple job options. An ongoing battle is being fought over the preservation and expansion of remote work. Many workers seem to be re-evaluating where and how they do their jobs.

Quiet quitting is also one way to deal with burnout, which some workers might have experienced. As research shows, burnout is a big risk in the workplace, especially among younger Gen Z professionals. According to a Microsoft survey of 30,000 employees, 54% of Gen Z workers are considering quitting their jobs.

For some people, quiet quitting is about divorcing their ego from what they do for a living and not striving for perfection. Setting boundaries and simply completing the tasks that are supposed to be completed within the time frame with no extra frills
