In regard to quiet quitting, the term is insincere and probably doesn't reflect changes that have landed at many companies, where basically the top management have decided if they are paying x dollars a day, they want to get every last cent worths out and rather than engage with the work force directly, have headed down a path by applying a formula some bean counter or consultancy firm has helped them forge. Of course having someone constantly busy might seem smart, but if the worker feels they are treated no better than a robot, no time for creative breaks, then pretty soon there's a highly dissatisfied workforce, only those who are working towards (with plans to) the top of the pile are really engaging. It's rare (well for me) to walk into a shop and pay for milk and leave with an extra bonus flavoured milk as well ... or anything else, I get what I pay for. Sometimes people are nice and don't mind if they have time, to thrown in a little extra. As for HR reaching out ... some people don't really express themselves well or have any idea what "normal" should be. There's a big risk bosses like to paint a entirely different normal. The young may not know any better, any one struggling and overwhelmed, couldn't or wouldn't really communicate this. Sadly I was expecting the article to be a POV on those people who quit without fuss or reason.
