If you feel your salary does not reflect your worth, your work is boring or your workplace culture is toxic, you may end up just going through the motions — in other words, you are quiet quitting.
“Quiet quitting ... is a state where you are physically present at work each day, but you have checked out emotionally and mentally. You do your duties, but without much enthusiasm,” says Michelle Dobson, head of brand at Pnet. She advises:
- If you feel stuck in your job, try to work out what you are missing — a sense of purpose, recognition or challenge — and work out what a fulfilling job would look like;
- Speak to someone you trust about what you are going through;
- If you can, talk to your current manager to see if there are other roles for you within your organisation; and
- If there are no opportunities in your organisation or you believe it is a toxic workplace, explore online recruitment platforms and your network for a new position.
