The 11 Funniest Examples of ‘Quiet Quitting’ on TikTok

Quiet quitting is the latest buzzword in the corporate world. And it’s estimated between 67% and 85% of U.S. workers are partaking. It is a trend that is apparently changing the workplace, and well — it’s a complete vibe. Well, not a complete vibe for bosses who are less than impressed.  

What is Quiet Quitting?

It is basically doing your job and not letting it take over your life. It’s only what is required. For example, if you start at 9 am then you will start no earlier — even if it’s suggested. Or if you have extra work, you won’t do it past work hours. 

It’s Not For Everyone

It’s also worth pointing out that for many in society, it isn’t an option. @thesicceo has also pointed out on Instagram that it’s a luxury that most neurodivergent people can’t do.

@_thehrqueen also takes to TikTok to say that this trend would be difficult for minorities and encourages people to be mindful. 

Whatever your take is on the exact meaning of the term, and how it can be applied, it’s something that is taking over the internet.
