‘What is the point?’: Singapore has more quiet quitters than global average, survey shows
https://lnkd.in/guQGsCpg
“Quiet quitting” is a phenomenon observed among working adults in Singapore, where individuals disengage from their work by avoiding tasks beyond their assigned duties and becoming less emotionally invested in their jobs.
A survey by Randstad revealed that 35% of respondents in Singapore have experienced quiet quitting, citing reasons such as the pursuit of work-life balance, inadequate compensation in the face of rising living costs, and a lack of career growth opportunities. Examples provided in the article include individuals who became disengaged due to wage disparities or a lack of passion for their work.
Employers are urged to understand employee expectations and address them to prevent quiet quitting. The root causes of this phenomenon can be complex and extend beyond work-related factors. Building positive relationships with colleagues and fostering job satisfaction are suggested as potential deterrents to quiet quitting. However, the article also acknowledges that quiet quitting can lead to a loss of creativity and fulfillment in one’s work, as seen in the case of a teacher who no longer finds joy in her profession despite pursuing a degree for a salary increase.
