quiet quitting, A mess in the workplace?
According to two new surveys, the American workplace is officially a mess, just as we suspected. The surveys have discovered that one in five workers have completely checked out on the job. And most employee feels that they are being treated unfairly. A survey by Gallup found only 32% of U.S. employees still have the energy to pretend to give a damn about their job. While there are 18% who are counting down the time they have left for a lunch break. Meanwhile, another survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that less than half of employees believe that their organization will not screw them over. So, young workers are responding with quiet quitting. What does it mean, simple they are doing the bare minimum and simply in it for the paycheck.
Let’s break it down even further.
It’s hard to know why certain groups of workers may be having more trouble than others. But we do know this: younger workers seem to be the most targeted. You’re pretty much screwed if you are a young woman manager. It’s also possible that you’ll have to deal with an increasing workload, a very disturbing work-life balance as well as having to manage multiple teams across remote and on-site schedules. If that’s not bad luck, well I have no idea what is.
The research came about because of uncertain working conditions. As of right now, the job market seems to be strong. However, sectors like finance, technology, and real estate have been cutting jobs for months. And the Federal Reserve interest rate hikes are like ticking time bombs waiting to blow up. So, we’re just waiting for that bomb to go off to see who’s going to be in line for unemployment.
No more satisfying perks for workers, which contribute more to quiet quitting
Many variables cause disappointment in the job market, even when there are available jobs open. Employers are like that ex who convinces you on a date with promises like a fancy dinner, but instead, you get a fast-food joint with a bill for your meal. Because of the pandemic, the job market has been completely changed, and all the perks and training that kept you from realizing that you were not being held hostage have been taken away from you. Once again contributing more to the idea of quiet quitting.
The nightmare of going back to the workplace
We can’t forget the continuous debate about going back to work. A poll by Gallup found that the biggest decline in engagement among workers was in jobs they could have done at home. Instead, they were forced to work in the office like caged animals. Even remote work from home was view as being dissatisfied. The problem with all this? Well employers who cannot make up their minds and want to keep their employees guessing.
As for remote workers, a study by SHRM found that they were happy, however they were also looking for other jobs. This clearly shows you the two faces of the remote working system. Even the guys at the HR department stop caring, with around 35% agreeing that it should be a priority to bring more workers back to the office.
In a recent poll on indeed that was done in November, most poeple claim that they are happy at work most of the time. we’re not sure how much their employers are paying them to write these reviews. But if you are one of those people do us a favor and cut the cap.But hey, if they are so satisfy at work they should go buy themself a $3000 Apple headset.
