Canadian Manufacturing Mag on Quiet Quitting

Though definitions vary, quiet quitting essentially refers to clocking in when you’re expected to, doing your assigned tasks, leaving on time and not taking on extra work outside your regular hours. It’s not about slacking off on the job, but rather setting boundaries and preventing burnout, and not taking on additional work for which the employee isn’t being paid. It's like they get it. Almost. They go on to warn employers away from assigning extraneous tasks to employees to compensate for staff shortages (!!!!). It also talks about balance and burnout, and how these things impact retention. It's an industrial publication so I'm not going to start saying they're working for the people, but it is nice to hear voices in the industry echoing the “Treat your employees like people you morons,” refrain.
