Quiet Quitting

"Big successful businesses are not built by men like you--9 to 5 and then home to the family. You live on them, but you never build one. Big successful businesses are built by men like me. They give everything they've got to it. Live it body and soul. Lift it up regardless of anybody or anything else. Without men like me there wouldn't be big successful businesses. My mistake was in being one of those men."
--Ralph Hopkins (The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit)

Lower productivity may be driven in part by trends toward 'quiet quitting.' Quiet quitting is doing the bare minimum at work. Put in your time and go home.

While there has always been a fraction of quiet quitters in the workplace (sometimes called 'slackers' in the past), perhaps that fraction is growing.

Of course, this could just be another fleeting meme on the net.
