YOGYAKARTA – Quiet quitting is popular since one of the TikTok accounts uploaded content related to the phrase. This term is used a little wrong, instead of leaving the hyperproductive culture, but instead the idea to go beyond and work beyond.
The term is new, according to Kathy Kacher, founder of Career/Life Alliance Services. But the concept is a long-standing phenomenon, namely employee disengagement. Kacher explained that the unprecedented high number of burnout cases in the world of work was influenced by the incompatibility of work with the lives of employees who left their jobs.
The phenomenon of quiet quitting, translated in Indonesian as 'stop quietly'. Basically by definition, having a goal to enjoy the time and energy to invest elsewhere. Indicators of quiet quitting in employees are reduced motivation and low involvement at work.
Quitting quietly actually causes an employee to set more boundaries at work, according to Natalie Baumgartner, chief labor scientist at Achievers. Some may also divert attention from work on projects outside the scope of work. Sometimes, managers interpret it as 'disobedient or unprofessional'.
Baumgartner adds, sometimes someone who isn't in the mood for their job looks for ways to be less tired, more motivated, and more engaged. So what if you feel uncomfortable with work but can still be productive?
Global chief of staff at Sedgwick, Michele Hay suggests realizing that quiet quitting is about more than setting boundaries. Recognize fatigue and frustration so that you, for example, reassess priorities. In addition, it is also important to evaluate your own productivity. For example, how involved are you in your current job and seek feedback from coworkers or managers.
Practical advice from Hay, take advantage of the afternoon break or fill a fun vacation time. It can be by taking annual leave or making time management more effective. It is also important to get a support system in the office so as to build a psychologically safe work environment.
Grasso's allegation from Lyra Health, that quiet quitting occurs and experienced by a worker is most likely because they are quietly suffering in a psychologically insecure environment. This means that making sure your scope is secure, upgrading your skills and gaining new experience is important in order to get back in to your current job.
