of American workers say they're “quiet quitting” — performing only the tasks they’re required to, giving up on going “above and beyond," according to a new Gallup survey.The pandemic made nearly all work harder to perform and that extra labor has taken a toll on employees — especially younger workers. They're responding by putting more and more distance between themselves and their jobs, or looking for new jobs.
Among workers younger than 35, the percentage of actively disengaged employees rose by six percentage points.“This is a problem because most jobs today require some level of extra effort to collaborate with coworkers and meet customer needs,” Gallup’s workplace management chief scientist, Jim Harter, writes.
“The least effective managers have three to four times as many people who fall in the ‘quiet quitting’ category compared to the most effective leaders,” Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman of Zenger/Folkman consultancy write inWorker engagement started slipping during the second half of last year, when an increasing number of workers were also quitting their jobs, Gallup noted.
