‘Quiet quitting’ has become the latest hot button issue to garner huge attention across all forms of social media.
The term, inspired by a Chinese TikTok trend known as #Tangping—or ‘lie flat’—means to ‘quietly’ disengage from ones job: to perform little more than the bare minimum, work no later than your contracted hours, and, in absolutely no event, go above and beyond what’s required. And it’s taking place, albeit ‘quietly’, across swathes of the professional population—a recent Gallup survey found that half of Americans already say they are ‘quiet quitting’ their job.
