Quiet quitting: A new phenomenon or just old wine in new bottles? Penny For Your Thoughts by Bangor Business School
-
- Business
Summer is often an opportunity for employees to wind down a little as they take their annual leave. But what if winding down, or ‘Quiet Quitting’ as it has recently been referred to as, becomes their new normal? Quiet Quitting has been popularised through various social media channels such as linked in, ticktok, facebook and instagram. On face value, Quiet Quitting sounds rather negative, possibly suggesting employees winding down and disengaging from their daily tasks, and potentially even their colleagues and employers. But is Quiet Quitting even a ‘new phenomenon’ or just a new name for something we’ve been talking about already; old wine in new bottles as they say? Joining our Penny for your Thoughts podcast this month is Dr Clair Doloriert, Senior Lecturer in HRM at Bangor Business School to shed light on what this is and whether it is as negative and harmful as it sounds.
Dr Clair Doloriert is a Senior Lecturer at Bangor Business School specialising in Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management. She is Head of Year 1 Undergraduates and also on the Wales board for the Chartered Management Institute: a key Business School partner. Her research interests include employee engagement, autoethnography and knowledge sharing.
