>> Quiet quitting is the realization that if you work hard and push yourself in an employee role you're a sucker. Not entirely, there are bosses and orgs which genuinely reward effort, and where the cost/benefits of extra endeavour can be fairly reliably assessed. Sadly that is of course not a universal state of affairs, or even a particularly common one. But it is out there! Maybe there has been a general worsening of the "management class"? Maybe too many people have been getting promoted beyond their talents and interests? Poor managers who don't recognise talent and effort, or develop their teams' skills and duties, are just that, poor managers, and perhaps the corporate world has collectively taken its eye off the ball and allowed standards to slip. And maybe this all becomes horribly normalised to the point where a good manager is somehow an exception, and over time we have now hit a tipping point where millions of otherwise good, capable, engaged employess have been pushed too far? To be clear I think good managers are a true boon to a business - reducing attrition, increasing productivity - and leaders should be laser-focused on inculcating good, strong management practice, explicitly, not by crossing its fingers and hoping.
