About half of US workers could be described as “quiet quitters”, according to new research by survey firm Gallup, meaning they fulfill their job description but are psychologically detached from their work.
According to Gallup’s survey in June of over 15,000 full-time and part-time US workers, some 50% of respondents met the definition of quiet quitting, a term that has bubbled up to describe a prevalent worker mindset at a moment when the pandemic has upended employees’ priorities and companies’ workplace policies.
