'Quiet thriving' a positive spin on 'quiet quitting'
By Kelly Gooch
T
he phrase "quiet quitting" — referring to a phenomenon in
which employees reduce their enthusiasm at work and stick to
the minimum expectations of their role — gained traction on
social media and in the news in 2022, and continues to be referenced
today. Other phrases have also gained traction in recent years as
workers were reassessing their work and roles, including "grumpy
staying" and "bare minimum Mondays."
Members of Generation Z in entry-level jobs have oen coined
these phrases in reaction to increased dissatisfaction at work. Some
employees have also expressed their dissatisfaction by "rage applying."
But in a Washington Post article, Lesley Alderman, a psychotherapist
and writer based in New York City, makes a case for "quiet thriving"
as an alternative to "quiet quitting." She writes that "quiet thriving"
involves people "taking specific actions and making mental shis that
help you to feel more engaged on the job." Ms. Alderman goes on to
provide 10 steps for people to thrive at work, including finding one
thing to love or like about your job, cultivating a best friend at work,
and setting positive intentions for yourself. n
