「安靜離職」正悄悄席捲職場！What is Quiet Quitting? It’s Taking Over the Workplace

Quiet quitting is, put simply, not taking on any more responsibilities than your job description requires. The phrase is popular among Gen Z and millennial workers and is said to result from the pandemic’s disruption of traditional office culture.

Some explained that people no longer define themselves by the work they do and don’t derive satisfaction or a sense of fulfillment from it, while some argue that many people who feel that the dream life—making more money, buying a house, raising a family—is no longer attainable may choose to kick back and relax.

In addition, the pandemic has made people begin to see values and norms from a different perspective, prompting them to reevaluate their goals.

友善讓你懂│解說：

什麼是「安靜離職」？簡單來說，安靜離職就是只做到工作的基本、不承擔更多的責任。 這個詞在 Z 世代和千禧世代中很流行，也因為疫情對傳統辦公文化造成影響，而更加風行。

一些人解釋說，安靜離職會盛行，是因為人們不再由他們所做的工作來定義自己，也不再從工作中獲得滿足感和成就感。另一些人則認為，許多人認為夢想的生活——賺更多的錢、買房、養家等——是不再可能，因此他們乾脆選擇放鬆。

同時，疫情讓人們開始從不同的角度看待生活，促使他們重新評估自己的目標。
