Definition
Quiet quitting involves meeting only the basic expectations of a job without engaging in additional tasks or seeking advancement opportunities.
Key Takeaways
Quiet quitting involves meeting only the minimum job requirements without extra effort or enthusiasm.
The term gained popularity in the early 2020s, but some question whether it's new or just rebranded dissatisfaction.
A 2023 Gallup report indicated that 59% of the global workforce may be quiet quitters.
Critics argue engagement levels haven't changed much over the years, suggesting quiet quitting might not be a new trend.
Quiet quitting has expanded beyond the workplace, appearing in personal relationships and other areas of life.
What Is Quiet Quitting?
Quiet quitting is a workplace behavior where employees only do the bare minimum at their jobs. In the early 2020s, quiet quitting gained attention as a trend, mainly due to social media. Some, though, doubt its prevalence and whether it's really new.（別段新しいものじゃあない、昔からある現象に新しい名前を付けただけではないか？）
Data on the behavior includes Gallup's 2023 "State of the Global Workplace" report, which stated that 59% of the global workforce consisted of quiet quitters.1
Managers have had varied reactions, either tolerating the phenomenon or firing employees they thought were not putting in more effort, enthusiasm, and time than absolutely necessary. It has also led to related terms such as quiet firing—making a job so unrewarding that a worker will feel compelled to quit.（つまんない仕事を与え、冷遇して退職を考えさせるように仕向ける･･･quiet firingというのもある。）
Quiet quitting has moved past the workplace to personal relationships, such as marriages.別に仕事だけじゃなく、仮面夫婦みたいな結婚も同じだよね。
Understanding the Dynamics of Quiet Quitting
In a September 2022 Harvard Business Review article aimed at explaining the quiet quitting phenomenon to worried executives, professors AnthonyC. Klotz and Mark C. Bolino observed, "Quiet quitters continue to fulfill their primary responsibilities, but they're less willing to engage in activities known as citizenship behaviors: no more staying late, showing up early, or attending non-mandatory meetings."2
The reaction of managers to the phenomenon has been mixed. Some have been tolerant, in part because the tight labor market of recent years made replacing quiet quitters difficult, at least temporarily. Others responded to quiet quitting by quietly, or loudly, firing employees whom they saw as slacking off. In fact, quiet firing has become a buzz phrase in its own right, generally defined as making a job so unrewarding that the employee will feel compelled to resign.3
Beyond the workplace, the term "quiet quitting" is now being applied to nonwork aspects of people's lives, such as marriages and other relationships.
Origins of the Term "Quiet Quitting"
The Los Angeles Times credits Bryan Creely, a Nashville corporate recruiter turned career coach, with coining "quiet quitting" in a March 4, 2022, TikTok and YouTube video.4Some crediteconomistMark Bolger with inventing "quiet quitting" in 2009. Others link the concept toChina's "lying flat" trend from a year earlier.

Evaluating Quiet Quitting as a Workplace Trend
According to a Gallup survey of workers age 18 and older taken in June 2022, quiet quitters "make up at least 50% of the U.S. workforce—probably more." In Gallup's "State of the Global Workplace 2023 Report," 59% of the global workforce were said to be quiet quitters.71
In the United States, the percentage was particularly high among workers under age 35, Gallup reported.7
For its 2022 survey, Gallup arrived at that conclusion using a series of questions related to worker engagement, defined as "the involvement and enthusiasm of employees in their work and workplace."8
In the survey, only 32% of workers came across as engaged, while another 18% were disengaged, meaning that they made no secret of their job dissatisfaction. The remaining 50%, Gallup theorized, could be classified as quiet quitters—people who were not especially engaged in their work but didn't broadcast the fact.ギャロップの調査では、アメリカの労働者の３２％がやる気あり、１８％はやる気なし。そのことを隠そうとしない･･･５０％はquet quitterで、そのことを特別大きな声で言おうともしない。
If accurate, these numbers suggest 68% of American workers are unhappy to some extent.
Not everyone buys that, however. Writing in The Atlantic, Derek Thompson pointed out that Gallup's 2022 engagement numbers weren't all that different from those going back to 2000. Thompson claims the term is popular because burned-out workers need new words to express their feelings. 燃え尽き症候群の言い換えじゃあないか？という説もある
Real-Life Instances of Quiet Quitting
NPR asked its listeners about quiet quitting and ran a group of their responses in a September 2022 online article. Some didn't like the term but still embraced the concept.10
An administrative assistant identified as Christy G. said, in part, "I do not interact with anything from work before 7:00 or after 4:30, which is the time my office is open. I work in a corporate setting so my tasks are not life or death. If someone asks for something, like maybe a file scanned or something like that, at the end of the day, it can wait until the next day."10
A department manager identified as Sara M. told NPR that her priorities and values had changed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic: "I now leave my office at the end of the day not thinking about what I need to work on when I go home at night. I set boundaries for checking my emails and reaching out to co-workers during non-office hours. Most importantly, I do not feel any bit of anxiety when it comes to requesting time off, taking personal days, or especially taking sick time."10
If Gallup's estimate that at least 50% of the U.S. workforce can be classified as quiet quitters is accurate, then the number would be more than 85 million, according to the most recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on Americans' employment status.711
Some experts have suggested that bosses get tough, others that they lighten up. In an August 2022 Harvard Business Review article, leadership development consultants Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman advised managers to first examine their own behavior. "Suppose you have multiple employees who you believe to be quietly quitting," they wrote. "In that case, an excellent question to ask yourself is: Is this a problem with my direct reports, or is this a problem with me and my leadership abilities?"12
"Soft quitting" is a term that's often used interchangeably with quiet quitting.
What Is 'Resenteeism'?
"Resenteeism" is another purported workplace trend, in which employees, particularly members of Gen Z, stay in jobs that they supposedly resent. It is sometimes represented as a new and more advanced stage of quiet quitting, describing workers who aren't merely apathetic about their jobs but actively dislike them.13
Quiet quitting is doing only the minimum requirements of a job without extra effort, enthusiasm, or time. A Gallup report from 2023 states that 59% of the global workforce consists of quiet quitters, underlining the potential prevalence of the phenomenon. Managers have had mixed reactions to quiet quitting, with quiet firing being one of their response tactics.
Debate continues over whether quiet quitting is a new trend or a rebranded name for existing employee dissatisfaction. Whatever you call it, insights from Gallup surveys—including a 2022 finding that quiet quitters comprise at least half, and "probably more" of the U.S. workforce—have called attention to what appears to be fairly widespread dissatisfaction among American workers.
